How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is the dark twin of 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada. Instead of Anne Hathaway playing a young and determined writer, How to Lose features Simon Pegg as Sidney Young, British pseudo-equivalent running a small Spy-esque magazine falling on hard times. He attracts the notice of famous editor Clayton Harding (Jeff Bridges), whose first magazine was in the same vein, and is offered a job writing for Sharp, a clear stand-in for Vanity Fair. But due to incompetence and a general unlikeability, he has a hard time getting anywhere and seems destined to return home without fulfilling his dreams of writing about the stars.
