Plot Summary: In this hilariously funny fish-out-of-water tale, "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" tracks the outrageous escapades of Sidney Young (Simon Pegg), a smalltime, bumbling, British celebrity journalist who is hired by an upscale magazine in New York City. In spectacular fashion Sidney enters high society and burns bridges with bosses, peers and superstars. The film is based on Toby Young's memoir of the same name and also stars Kirsten Dunst, Danny Huston, Gillian Anderson, Megan Fox, Max Minghella and Jeff Bridges. Directed by Robert Weide, the film will be released by MGM Distribution Co. on October 3, 2008.

After disrupting one black-tie event by allowing a wild pig to run rampant, Sidney catches the attention of Clayton Harding (Jeff Bridges), editor of Sharp, and accepts a job with the magazine in New York City. Clayton warns Sidney that he'd better impress and charm everyone he can, if he wants to succeed. Instead, Sidney instantly insults and annoys fellow writer Alison Olsen (Kirsten Dunst). He dares to target the star clients of power publicist Eleanor Johnson (Gillian Anderson). He upsets his direct boss Lawrence Maddox (Danny Huston) and tries to make amends by hiring a stripper to dance for Lawrence during a staff meeting. Sidney, of course, doesn't stop there, finding creative ways to annoy nearly everyone. His saving graces: a rising, sexy starlet (Megan Fox) develops an odd affection for him, and in time, Alison whose friendship with him might be the only thing saving Sidney from torpedoing his career.

This movie will be funny as all heck, regardless whether the sex goddess Megan Fox is in it or not.

And yes she is that hot, sorry haters, but you have to call it when you see it...... OMG she is hot!

This is based on a pretty good book, although the movie looks like it has a lot more slapstick than the original story. They also changed the names of the characters and the magazine, etc. For example, the main character got a job working for either Vogue or Vanity Fair, I can't remember which, and he talks at length about various people who work for Conde Nast, including Anna Wintour and Candice Bushnell. And he doesn't have very nice things to say.

Anyway, I'm curious. Kirsten Dunst looks pretty good. Too bad there weren't any clips showing Gillian Andersen. :(
