  Funny smart and funny crude

  by cinema_lvr

  I was expecting a mildly comedic movie and was happily surprised as I thought it was deeply funny. Many people in the audience were laughing very hardily. It's that kind of movie. You'll either think it's deeply funny or not. It definitely has a couple of crude humor scenes that aren't gratuitous, but are necessary to keep the humor from being sophomoric. So if you're offended by crude (frontal) humor/nudity, then you should avoid this movie. Otherwise be prepared to embarrass the person(s) with you because someone is going to bust a out loud! Lastly, there is a bit of a love story in there and even though the movie is a crude humor movie. It's definitely not central to the movie so don't try to push this one off on your date as a love story. The woman in the older couple laughed more openly during the movie than the man. I changed my vote to 50-50 because if you love crude humor and biting dialog, then you'll definitely like it, otherwise probably not.

  Good Movie

  by Sweetgurl

  I liked this movie. I like Simon Pegg. This movie didn't have alot of laughs but it was good. I wouldn't say it's a must see film but it's a good movie to watch when nothing else is on.

  Pros and Cons

  by efevans

  Cons: 1. Simon Pegg is adorable. Too adorable. His character is more a screwup than an outright jerk.
  2. Story arc is flat. There's no real build-up, no real climax, no real resolution.
  3. Danny Huston is unsettlingly evil rather than the mere obnoxious cad he's supposed to be.
  4. Pegg has done much better films. If you haven't, see Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz.
  
  Pros:
  1. Simon Pegg is adorable. If you're a fan it's always nice to see him.
  2. Kirsten Dunst manages not to be grating for once. 'Nuff said.
  3. Cute Thandie Newton cameo at the beginning.

  Great Comedy!

  by pytljc

  If you are in the mood for a comedy, when there's not many out ... this one's pretty good. I'd recommend it, though I'm not giving it too high a mark. It was entertaining and Jeff Bridges is great!!

  How to lose Friends and Alienate People!

  by dingmanliz

  My husband and I went to see this purely based upon Simon Peg's previous movies. We were going as a date, and were actually pleasanty surprised to see him in more of a romantic comedy. Not his usual Shawn of the Dead or Hot fuzz kind of stuff, but more like Run Fat Boy run. Many times the whole theater was laughing out loud! Very funny, and cute romantic comedy.

  How to Lose Friends & Alienate People

  by Dwergislayer

  You can't be a Simon Pegg fan and NOT love this movie!!!! It has painfully awkward humor, with tons of flare! Pegg fans, like myself, with recognize special cameos from his costars in recent films and references to possible, future projects. The romantic plot events were somewhat predictable, but not sappy. Even the romance stayed very comedic. Like almost all Pegg movies, this soundtrack ROCKS!!! This movie delivers!!! GO SEE THIS IT RIGHT NOW!!!

  Alienating people more than losing friends

  by JDB728

  This may not be Simon Pegg's funniest performance, but it is one of his better movies. In my opinion, this is his best movie since Shaun of the Dead. Kirsten Dunst, and Jeff Bridges were great. The characters were good-if slightly cliche.
  I will admit though that I don't think Megan Fox was nearly as good in this as she was in Transformers.
  
  Thanks for reading.
