How to Lose Friends and Alienate People

15 certification
NEW FEATURES / UK PREMIERE
Director: Robert B. Weide. Starring: Simon Pegg, Gillian Anderson, Jeff Bridges, Kirsten Dunst.
UK, 2008. 110 mins. English.
Frequent Curb Your Enthusiasm director Robert B. Weide makes his feature directorial debut with this screen adaptation of British writer Toby Young's memoir of the same name. When self-promoting scribe Young accepts a position as a contributing editor for iconic fashion magazine "Sharps", his subsequent attempts to ingratiate himself with both his egotistical boss, Clayton Harding, and the superficial celebrities who populate the pages of the magazine prove disastrously hilarious.

* We are delighted to welcome co-producer and author of the book Toby Young and producer Stephen Woolley to this screening.
