International Trailer for 'How to Lose Friends & Alienate People'
Filed under: Comedy, Trailers and Clips
It was supposed to be a story about a British dude who ticks off the celebrity and Vanity Fair masses, relayed in a voice that charms some, but annoys many. But then the first short little trailer for How to Lose Friends and Alienate People popped up, and as Christopher Campbell said last December, "the trailer makes How to Lose look like a Ben Stiller comedy."
Now the international trailer has hit the waves, and yes, indeed, it still looks like a Stiller comedy -- right down to the dog accidentally flying out the window. Where's the snark? (Okay, snark without cute undertones.) I was expecting bitterness, not slapstick -- a questionable lead, not a seemingly innocent Simon Pegg. At least it's got some Danny Huston without the vampiric language and sharp teeth.
Still, I don't know what to think anymore. My world is all askew, because Kirsten Dunst's moments in the trailer actually seemed more interesting than Pegg's bumbling shenanigans. The film will hit screens this fall.
Warning: Watch for foul language.

Simon Pegg continuing to prove that he'll turn up in any old shite as long as it races his profile- looks awful naff ending is bound to be Dunst falling for his cool, ironic, fish out of water Brit charm. I'm embarrassed to say I used to love Spaced an thought he was cool- its crap, an he's sliding into it!!An I feel for poor old Gillian Anderson who I would happily watch at the opening of an envelope lowering herself to this grissle. Ugh !!!!! It will flop. However is it as bad as Run Fatboy Run now that was a stinker!!!!
