How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
So this guy has his own postmodern magazine ripping up everyone to shreds with sarcasm, humor and demeaning critiques. This obsession of the Stars with a twist of being true to himself makes him brilliant. Brilliant to the point that in New York, this British writer is noticed by the famed editor of Sharps magazine. He leaves his bloody fax machine behind for the Times Square infatuation of the elite, his Shangri-La. But being at Sharps is not what it seems. At least not in his mind where he viewed his opportunity as a chance to express himself in ways he never thought he would have the chance. Instead, he is told to channel his work load toward pleasing everyone so they are pleased with him. Then he will be successful and keep the magazine a success. Of course, as he seeks and is ultimately sought by a beautiful actress, he realizes the girl of his dreams is the simple beauty of the girl in the cubicle next to him when he was nothing, from Port Huron. Now, to get her back requires facing down the ones he has always aspired to be a part of and owning up to his true self. Can he do that without losing that distinctive clutzy eccentricity? Watch the movie! You will bust your gut from laughing so hard (if your IQ is over 100). . . .
