(1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 8% Rotten Page   1   1/5 "a worthless excuse for a laugh-a-thon that elicits more groans than giggles."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron C "It's a silly film halfheartedly imagined, worth a sit only to watch Simon Pegg run amuck inside another movie that doesn't deserve him."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/4 "British funny man Simon Pegg continues his downwards spiral with this lame, "'Devil Wears Prada"-styled "comedy.""   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 1.5/4 "It's ultimately difficult to recall a cinematic endeavor that crashes and burns with the ferocity of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 3/4 "For viewers who can get past the turn-off of a title, they will find a film as entertaining and easy to like as it is shrewd about its subject matter."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C+ "I admire Pegg's comic abilities, and he seems to have given it his earnest best here. He's just miscast -- and the story fizzles out halfway through anyway."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "Many critics will make some quip on the film's title doing precisely that to the audience looking for a little inside baseball, but there's so much general familiarity going for it already, why add to it?"   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress D+ "This isn't Prada, but a cheap, crummy knock-off."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "The film's inability to decide whether it wants to be sweet and life-affirming or vicious and nasty creates not only a disconnect on the story level but results in tonal shifts that are dizzying."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli C "...all bark and no bite, the behind the scenes machinations of a hugely influential magazine used as mere window dressing for an uninspired romantic comedy."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "One has to wonder why director Robert B. Weide ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") chose to artificially pump up the comedy rather than find it naturally in the situations."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2/5 "The filmmakers struggle to find the right tone, opting for wacky slapstick and then corny rom-com when they should have gone for black satire."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline  (1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 8% Rotten Page   1
