      Four stars for Kirsten Dunst / Simon Pegg

      Kirsten Dunst I recommend "Murder Green Toe" and "AV Studio";
        Simon Pegg I recommend "Zombie Shaun" and "Blood Detective"!

        After watching these four films, when you see the names of these two big guys together, I think going to the theater is an instinctive reflection!

        The only brilliant part of this film is from the editor-in-chief played by Kirsten Dunst. At the end, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and immediately resumed his expression (if you didn't see...

      Let's see how long Megan can be red

      Simon Pegg is still playing the little guy we are familiar with. He is kind in heart and stupid in appearance, but he can always get a happy ending in the end. He is helping us realize our dreams. It's just that Sidney's way of realizing his dreams in this film is a bit tacky and too simple.
      I prefer watching Sidney and Kirsten's Alison's wit at each other in a bar, and his embarrassment when he first arrived at Sharp magazine.

      [2008] How to betray each other


      It took a few years for this movie to start watching from the beginning.
      So apart from Simon Pegg,
      the other characters can't be remembered.
      When the credits flashed to Megan Fox,
      I had no reaction at all.
      And when Kirsten Dunst came on stage,
      that special aura captured me immediately.
      Oh, it turns out that the backstage of this film is not small~

      As an inspirational film,
      the title of "How to betray the family and leave the...

      end of an era

      American firewood girl with British gentleman, this has always been the main dish of romantic comedy in Hollywood, to ensure that the audience will not complain. Kirsten Dunst was originally matched with a stunner like Paul Bettany, and like Diaz with Jude Law, the crime of ruining the British gods is heinous.

      Fortunately, there is this film now, which is a mockery and an end to the old model. Chai He Niu finally matched a British ruffian. Of course, for the sake of safety, the...

      Another perspective on the problem of older leftover women in big cities

      This film is really suitable for watching when you are in a bad mood. It makes you smile, and the bad and cliché ending really feels a little fake. The most outstanding simon pegg in the film, I have seen his big nothing before, and today I watched his How to-, and it feels like a running hall role upgrade.

      Continue to talk about the problem of leftover women in big cities. Alison, played by Kristen Dunst in the film, is a typical big city scheming girl with no background. There are...

    Movie plot

    Originally, Sidney Young was just an insignificant, lacking feature, and pretending British journalist. He was faced with a crisis of unemployment because he decided to let a crazy wild boar mess up a very formal banquet without authorization, but got one by accident. The attention of a man named Clayton Harding, who happens to be the editor of New York's high-profile magazine.
    Somehow, Clayton seemed to admire Sidney's "inconsequence"...

    Evaluation action

    "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" is known as the "sissy" version of "Fashion Devil", and it is surprising that the film's poor box office after its release. Dr. Russel Fell’s comedy still has a certain market in the United States. With the addition of Kirsten Caroline Dunst and Megan Fox, it is also a satirical comedy in the fashion industry. All the top-selling elements are not lacking, and there is such an unbearable box...

    Movie quotes

    • Alison Olsen: You know what I don't understand? You're so desperate to get a story in the magazine, so why wouldn't you play ball with Eleanor, write the puff piece?

      Sidney Young: I just, I resent being bribed to gush sycophantically about a star. I choose to gush sycophantically.

    • Sidney Young: Hey, "keep true to the dreams of thy youth."

      Alison Olsen: Is that "Troy" again?

      Sidney Young: It's Schiller.

    • Sidney Young: Here's something you gotta understand. I'm not really one of you.

      Alison Olsen: By "you" do you mean human?

      Sidney Young: No, I mean one of the glossy posse. You know, a bunch of zombies writing about, ooo, pets of the stars, acting like they're working for the U.N. I'm here to shake things up.
