Sidney Young (Pegg) is a young reporter who is thrilled to be offered a job in New York by his hero, Clayton Harding (Bridge), but when he arrives to take the job he soon discovers that his hero has changed from how he remembers him and that Sidney may have to compromise his beliefs in order to cope in the cut throat world of celebrity reporting.

This is one of those movies where everything that can go wrong will go wrong, so if you hate cringing as the hero of the piece moves from disaster to disaster then this probably isn't the movie for you. If, however, you relish in the simple underplayed slapstick of these sorts of movies then you'll simply adore this adaptation of Toby Young's novel.
