There's a hell of a lot of The Apartment to this. It's not difficult to watch.
Simon Pegg's bumbling feels like it's in the wrong movie - this could have had more of a satirical bite. I don't know if that's author Toby Young's fault or that of screenwriter Peter Straughan, or come to that of the director, producer or any number of people involved. Oddly misfiring ending too, like no one could figure out a proper conclusion.
Nothing wrong with the cast: Kirsten Dunst (Miss Kubelik), Danny Huston (Sheldrake), Jeff Bridges, Gillian Anderson, Megan Fox, Miriam Margolyes, Bill Paterson (in telling small scenes - you old pro!) Though I guess from an awe point of view, Pegg was most stricken by cult hero Bridges.
Weide made the excellent Woody Allen documentary.
