I just watched How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, about a writer trying to make it as a celebrity reporter, and it's the best comedy I've seen in the last year. Its just slapstick humor, awkward situations, piled atop one another. I thought I was going to die laughing.
The main lead's struggle to get coke, his being kicked in his hurt leg by his romantic coestar, the meeting with his father, the landlord, all just so damn funny, and the jokes, most of them anyway, come at you at such an obleaque angle, I was laughing out loud.
Plus, the serious aspects, obvious in a hollywood film, work well. If I gave stars, I'd give this one four, or five, or whatever a perfect score is. Great film.
