A British writer, Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) struggles to fit into life at a top notch magazine in New York.
Do we really need another movie that tells us that all people in showbiz and the media are transparent, shallow, youth-obsessed slimeballs? We think not. As per usual with this kind of movie, all the best bits are in the trailer. We giggled - twice. It really wasn't that funny and just turned out to be a run of the mill romcom with a cliche ending. The movie is based on Toby Young's memoirs and to be honest it made us embarrassed to be Brits. And other thing. In our opinion Simon Pegg (of Run Fat Boy Run fame) cannot hold his own in a movie without his hilarious sidekick Nick Frost. See Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead if you don't believe us.
