He needs to kiss a lot of asses to get where he wants, but ass-kissing is not exactly in his repertoire. There's just one problem: Sidney's desire to climb the social ladder clashes with his abrasive personality.
Sidney not only wants to hobnob with these folks, but he also makes it his personal mission to bed Sophie. Harding provides Sidney with a peek into high society by introducing him to a powerful entertainment agent (Gillian Anderson) and the sultry young starlet she represents, Sophie Maes (Megan Fox). He gets a basement level job at Sharps Magazine, run by the legendarily picky Clayton Harding (Jeff Bridges). Simon Pegg ( Shaun of the Dead) plays Sidney Young, a rabble-rouser who dreams of coming to America and entering the stratosphere of the very rich, the very famous, or the very both. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. I suspect the truth is lot more complicated and interesting than this. If we are to believe the film, Young's life and career were a mediocre slapstick comedy, with a touch of lightweight romance thrown in. How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is based on the memoirs of Toby Young, a British writer who traded on some notoriety as an enfant terrible in his native England and went on to become a contributor at Vanity Fair, where he clashed famously with editor Graydon Carter.
