Oh dear we don't like it when our super-hero love interest develops a brain do we?Something has happened to people, they have lost the ability to enjoy, a simple feel-good, love story/comedy? Kirsten Dunst is a revelation - funny, sexy and real. I laughed out loud ooh at least five times and I'm not ashamed to say had a tear in my eye a couple of times too. The cast, acting and script is great, I watch a lot of films right across the board and I haven't seen one in this genre that has been as successful. Those who disagree please tell me where I can find some! I'm sure the book is good too but I think you have to judge it on its own merits.

Amazing performance from Simon Pegg who just gets better and better with every role. As usual he plays the part of a very cringy character who makes you want to hide behind your cushion in embarrassment for him sometimes, but thats what Pegg is all about.The laughs were regular and eye watering and everyone of them aimed at Penn. The movie was very cleverly put together where every character plays a very sophisticated and serious part with Penn being the only humour involved which is a huge credit to the Director Robert Weide.And I cant let this one go without a quick round of applause to Gilliam Anderson who shone throughout. Highly recommended to all.
'Sentiment: Negative âšī¸'
Never been bothered to review a film before, but was so shocked by the positive reviews that I felt duty bound to prevent as many people as possible losing 2 hours of their life.There is nothing good about this film. The gags are old and not funny, the story has no merit whatsoever and the main character is unpleasant in the extreme.Film in a nutshell - childish fool somehow gets a job and despite being completely inept and rude doesn't get fired. He then abandons any small principles he has and manages to get on in some worthless glossy mag.I hope, for his sake, that the person its based on is nothing like the character portrayed.
