Snooze-Infused "Comedy"

How To Lose Friends and Alienate People.

I was genuinely excited for this one. Simon Pegg, generally a true comedic genius, Kirsten Dunst, all-American sweetheart and a title that seems humorous in itself. What could possibly go wrong?
Try everything.

The story line was just so cliche and even the fact that it was inspired by a true story didn't help make it the tiniest bit more interesting. The cast was not used to its strength. The vapid and untalented Megan Fox should have just been a silent figure in the piece since her attempt to portray a vapid, beautiful, overly worshipped actress was more unbelievable than her actual fame. Dunst's charm was completely lost in translation making it very difficult to care about any of her personal or professional struggles or cheer for any of her triumphs. Pegg was only given very obvious and low brow humor and even with that easy task it fell flat.

And can we just talk about how horrible Jeff Bridges hair was?!?!!? I mean luckily they gave him such an ugly style in the movie or I would have had to focus more on his unnoticeable performance.

The whole just tries to hard and the result is just a reminder that this is a typical, cheap comedy that your lose 2 hours of your life trying to stay awake.
