![]() ![]() Sidney's dreams appear to come true when he is invited to New York for a six-month tryout, working for top editor Clayton Harding (ie Carter), played by Jeff Bridges, on his magazine, which is here rather disconcertingly named Sharps. Simon Pegg plays Sidney Young, the pushy British journalist who deconstructs the cult of celebrity while being hopelessly infatuated with it, and yearning to be a celebrity. (Young's former mentor, Julie Burchill, acidly remarked that journalists used to write obviously autobiographical novels, but now it's obviously unreliable "memoirs" and the ratio of fact to self-serving invention is the same.) It is a fictionalised romcom version, but Young's book was already as shrewdly shaped as any fiction. H ere is a goofy, amiable adaptation of journalist Toby Young's book about his calamitous spell in New York in the 90s, working for Graydon Carter's Vanity Fair magazine - directed by Robert B Weide, producer and director of Curb Your Enthusiasm. ![]()
