Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) is a daring and unconventional young British man who graduated from a prestigious university and comes from an educated family but prefers the unconventional—he founded a magazine called "Postmodern Review" to deconstruct and satirize celebrities, which makes him quite unpopular. Just when the magazine is on the verge of bankruptcy, Young unexpectedly receives a call from a famous gossip magazine in New York, offering him a job. Upon entering the new environment, Young insists on his principles, refusing to change his articles to please the elite and shouting "press freedom" at his boss, refusing to kiss up to the trendy director... Constantly challenging the unspoken rules inevitably makes him out of place with everything around him. Amidst the ups and downs in the workplace, Young develops feelings for his colleague Alison (Kirsten Dunst) and catches the attention of newcomer star Sophie (Megan Fox). Young slowly learns to adapt to the rules and seems to fit into high society, but deep down, his true self never stops shouting... This film is adapted from the memoir of the same name published by British writer Toby Young in 2001.
