Kind of like "The Devil Wears Prada" with male protagonist.

Not the best comedy of Simon Peg but can be watched nonetheless. For fans of the man.

Fairly entertaining, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People delivers laughs but is a bit too crude for this type of romantic comedy. The story follows a British tabloid journalist who gets a job with one of New York’s premiere publishing companies, but he soon discovers that he’ll have to sell out in order to succeed. Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, Megan Fox, and Jeff Bridges lead the cast; though their performances are pretty mediocre. Some of the satire is rather clever, however overall it’s typical rom-com stuff. While it has its moments, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is an uneven and shallow film.

The movie is great as long as you overlook the spoof movie. I'm not going to elaborate above that. You'll get it once you watch. The actress they had to play the actress, suffice to say she can't act her way out of a Cracker Jack box. But I'm guessing that was the point of the whole spoof part of the movie. If you don't/didn't get that, then odds are you won't/didn't like the movie. If you get British, dry and/or sarcastic humor with a touch of slapstick, you'll probably love the movie. Ignore the haters. They didn't get it.

I think Simon Pegg is probably better served as a comedic actor in his native British movies, he's proven himself in that field time and time again, but when it comes to things like _How to Lose Friends & Alienate People_ he is never given the opportunity to shine, and it's the lacklustre, derivativ More
