An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but, with such a title, it could have been pretty awesome and there was definitely some potential. Furthermore, the fact that it was based on a real life story was quite promising. First of all, Simon Pegg was a great choice for the lead and, as usual, he was quite hilarious. I also enjoyed the rest of the cast (Megan Fox, Gillian Anderson, Jeff Bridges, Kirsten Dunst), even though, in my opinion, Megan Fox was not really successful in parodying herself. Unfortunately, some of the jokes were not really funny and, above all, they watered down the whole concept with a very predictable romantic-comedy. Furthermore, the main character’s obsession towards the Megan Fox character was, in my opinion,  rather annoying and uninteresting. So, the end-result was still half-baked. I mean, this study of the media world was really interesting and to see this real-life figure losing himself in this world was pretty neat but the whole romantic angle was rather boring. To conclude, there were some funny bits and some other boring stuff but the whole thing was still fairly entertaining and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like Simon Pegg.
