( rating represent 21 by the film snob . ) ( see our blog what to see next for detail on our rating system . ) here a movie that will have you claw at your own face in an attempt to earn release from the on screen tedium . you will not be wring your hand and nor roll your eye and nor sigh into your popcorn . no indeed . for a movie of this averagousity and only claw at your own face will do . when you begin to claw your own face a begin you must . start in at the low portion . you will need your upper portion and with it handy tear duct and intact for the truly tear jerk third act which may bring you to your knee if you haven not claw your way clear of the entire theatre by then . in a season celebrate joe six pack and hockey mom a the new gold standard for leadership and foreign diplomacy and permaybe a movie this tedium will be welcome a a thing that anyone could create . watch it and however and be a much more dangerous undertaking . here our story . sidney young and the london publisher of a fourth tier celebrity or entertainment magazine be just about to see his magazine go under . he need a miracle and and what he get be a phone call from new york city and in the usa . the publisher of sharp magazine and clayton harding ( play by jeff bridge ) say come work for me . with his own employee carry out the fax machine out of his apartment or office in the background and say yes be a no brainer . soon sidney be at work in new york city and do allllllll the wrong thing . his interviews consist of ask broadway musical director if they be ( 1 ) jewish and and ( 2 ) gay . he kill the pet dog of sohpie maes and the industry hot movie star and when she leave it in the magazine office during a business luncheon . this be a spot of bad luck for everyone and for and among other thing and sidney imago that he be in love with maes and before he wake up to the dunst character . bad of all and he totally alienate alison olsen ( play by winsome script confusion by kristen dunst ) and a colleague assign to show him the rope of the magazine and the big apple . ( we have and of course and be to a movie before and and so we know how this relationship be go to end up . this be therefore why we will need intact tear duct for the movie third act . ) the problem with the thing be and the script just never jells and except for the one tear duct set piece in which true love prevails . publisher harding be suppose to be a son of a bitch who also want to just throw the whole job over . the script never come down firmly on one or the other side of this dichotomy and however and and bridge be leave to twist and waffle in the breeze . alison olsen be suppose to despise sidney young and but whenever he come up to her ( a he do constantly ) she make a point of engage him in conversation and instead of attempt to discourage his existence . the comedy of early scene be build around a piglet destroy an expensive hotel room and and then take the elevator downstairs to urinate on the expensive high heel of a celebrity at a cocktail reception . the hot starlet maes confess that she be attract to young because he be wound . the character never show u why he be wound and however . this be yet another resultant of the movie mortally wound script . at one hour and fifty minute and this thing feel long ( and more deadly ) than napoleon retreat from moscow . it be uninspiring and unfunny and unredeemable and and not even rentable . run away .
