I think Simon Pegg is probably better served as a comedic actor in his native British movies, he's proven himself in that field time and time again, but when it comes to things like _How to Lose Friends & Alienate People_ he is never given the opportunity to shine, and it's the lacklustre, derivative movies themselves (like this one) that are to blame.

Also, he starts this movie already alienated and he doesn't have any friends, so the title is like???

_Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
