Viewing Notes

Off the quick pick shelf was How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, which I had been wanting to see in hopes that Simon Pegg would redeem himself from that sorry Run Fatboy Run film. And, indeed this is a better movie. Not great but good enough. didn’t realize Megan Fox was a supporting actress! Wish Gillian Anderson didn’t take this role (she looks terrible). Satisfying watch.
