I liked this. Partly because I love crude British humour. Simon Pegg is a working man's comedian... or at least that's what I call him. Ricky Gervais is definitely a more refined comedian. Anyways back to the film. It was slap stick, honest and neurotic. I enjoy the idea of taking down hollywood talent that are not so talented. I thought all the major stars lived in L.A... No? It would be nice of the title wasn't so long. I think its part of the reason I haven't brought it up in a coversation yet. Maybe. Just maybe I might. I watched it a week ago, but I vaguely remember what I really liked. I thought the parody of the vegan actress who loves animals was hilarious. Too bad they didn't make a stab at celebs adopting. The guru type man at the 4th of July was fresh and I liked the ode to Britian when the band was playing some American tune. I don't get the dynamic of these women who aren't interested in men unless they are successful and completely pull a 180 after they insulted them behind their back. Is that why men end up sleeping with them, to get back? I thought that there was no romantic chemistry between Dunst and Pegg, yet the pulled it off like they could have possibly been attracted to each other in real life if they were these characters. This was okay. It could have been better. In fact, I bet the book is better. A whole lot funnier and endgier and the characters probably move seemlessly together. Which is hard when adapting a book. Finding the right actor and having all the actors blend together so that it feels realistic.
