How to Lose Friends & Alienate People

This movie was made based on the same novel with the same tittle, "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" tracks the outrageous escapades of Sidney Young (Simon Pegg), a British celebrity journalist who is hired by an upscale magazine in New York City.

Sidney moves in a high society and burns bridges with bosses, peers and superstars.

After disrupting an 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 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) has an odd affection for him, and in time, Alison whose friendship with him might be the only thing saving Sidney from rocketing his career.

"....first, you should NEVER EVER compare the film with the original novel. If you like to read the novel, don't think the film will be as funny or satisfying as the novel you love. In this way, you can enjoy the film more.
....second, this is not a film about a losing friend guidance :-) ...."
