How To Lose Friends And Alienate People: How To Lose Friends And Alienate People Stars Simon Pegg as Sidney Young a disillusioned intellectual who both adores and despises the world of celebrity fame and glamour. His alternative magazine Post Modern Review pokes fun at the media obsessed stars and bucks trends and so when Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed conservative New York based Sharps magazine its something of a shock! It seems Sharps editor Clayton Harding is amused by Young's disruption of a post-BAFTA party with a pig posing as Babe. Thus... begins Sidney's descent into success - his gradual move from derided outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes - and a love affair with colleague Alison Olsen that will either make him or break him. Ghost Town: Deadpan hilarity and quirky charm come alive in Ghost Town starring Britain's favourite comedian Ricky Gervais (The Office) as social reject Bertram Pincus. Emmy award winner and seven times Bafta winner Gervais proves his Hollywood worth in this transatlantic feel good love story about a man a woman and a ghost. Pincus is a New York City dentist with horrendous people skills. When a routine surgery goes awry Pincus is pronounced dead but is miraculously revived seven minutes later. The ill-mannered Manhattanite suffers only one lasting after-effect; the ability to see and speak with the dead. Word soon gets out in the spirit community and Pincus is irritated to discover he's the go-to-guy for every phantom with unfinished business in the city. At the forefront of the ghostly mob is recently deceased Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear - Little Miss Sunshine Baby Mama) who is determined to stop the remarriage of his widow Gwen (Ta Leoni - Spanglish Fun with Dick and Jane). The laughs unfold when the prickly and romantically inexperienced Pincus smitten with Gwen tries to woo her away from her betrothed - with hysterically awkward results. With sharp performances and beautifully dry Gervais execution Ghost Town won't fail to make viewers laugh out loud. With a host of special features including commentary from renowned director David Koepp and 'making Ghost Town' this is one DVD that should be in the collection of every Ricky Gervais fan.
