13. Sidney, of course, doesn't stop there, finding creative ways to annoy nearly everyone. His saving graces: a rising, sexy starlet (Megan Fox) develops an odd affection for him, and in time, Alison whose friendship with him might be the only thing saving Sidney from torpedoing his career.

14. Consensus voice: "[Pegg is] a goof, and he's funny enough to warrant the price of admission. But after this and Run Fatboy Run, he really needs to deliver something sillier before he loses fans and alienates his audience." --Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel Photos © 2008 MGM, Review © David Bruce

15. "The most important thing is that this film delivers what it says on the tin: comedy… (Our goal was) making people laugh.” --Producer Stephen Woolley Photos © 2008 MGM, Review © David Bruce

16. This film reminds us to laugh and view life in a lighter way. The film turns tragic situations into comedic moments. This is also a great way to approach life. Regretfully, most of us view life as a tragedy (negatively) instead of as a comedy (positively). Comedian Lewis Black is correct, “There's no measure to the value of comedy-- it's sanity maintenance, it's what keeps people on their toes, it's what provides humility, it's the insulation -- not only does it open us but it insulates us from everything.” The producers of this film join with God in establishing a new commandment: “Thou Shalt Laugh!” Review © David Bruce

17. Comedy frees everybody. Comedy reveals more about who we are than any other thing we do. What makes us laugh? It comes, you're not prepared. You're committing yourself when you laugh. You can hold back tears. You can't hold back a laugh.” – Bill Persky, Writer & Director (The Dick Van Dyke Show, That Girl, Kate & Allie) Photos © 2008 MGM, Review © David Bruce

18. “Once you can laugh at your own weaknesses, you can move forward. Comedy breaks down walls. It opens up people. If you're good, you can fill up those openings with something positive. Maybe... combat some of the ugliness in the world.” --Goldie Hawn Photos © 2008 MGM, Review © David Bruce
