$ 0 0 How To Lose Friends & Alienate People 2008 Starring: Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, Megan Fox, Danny Huston, Gillian Anderson, and Jeff Bridges Written by: Peter Straughan and Toby Young Directed by Robert B. Weide This film is…amusing. It wants to take a big satirical shock bite out of the audience but it is far too timid for that. In fact it goes from trying to bite to barely whimpering as it simmers out to a romantic comedy rather than satire.
