Dir: Robert B Weide, with Simon Pegg, Megan Fox, Kirsten Dunst, Jeff Bridges
2 stars
Conflicted British journo Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) used to poke fun at celebrity culture in his left-field London mag, but, now that he's at glitzy glossy Sharps, he finds himself doing the unthinkable and falling for Hilton-esque starlet Sophie (Megan Fox). Kirsten Dunst and Gillian Anderson also star in this liberal adaptation of Toby Young's recent bestseller.
