Overview
Sidney Young is a down-on-his-luck journalist. Thanks to a stint involving a pig and a glitzy awards ceremony, Sidney turns his fortunes around, attracting the attention of Clayton Harding, editor of New York-based glossy magazine 'Sharps', and landing the holy grail of journalism jobs. The Brit jets off to the Big Apple and moves from one blunder to the next.
This offbeat love story features a fantastic performance by Pegg and…. really, not much else. I wanted to like this movie so much more than I did, which is a shame because I am a fan of so many of the actors.
