It's for Simon! The movie itself...

The movie itself lacks that little punch. Although there are many wonderful dialogues, such as "you can become famous as long as you show your chest", it is not as explosive as Simon's own "Zombie Shaun" and "Blood Detective". There are a lot of laughs throughout the film, but none of them are really hilarious.
Fortunately, Simon's performance is as wonderful as ever. As long as you see his cute face, you will feel a burst of joy...
The plot, the sense of picture and even the selection of scenes are different from "The Queen Wears Prada". There are few commonalities, but in terms of logic, it does not make sense. The sudden good luck seems a bit reluctant and artificial, but since it is a comedy, there is no need to struggle. Another unexpected little surprise is that Simon has a vampire appearance in it... But that hairstyle will be more handsome after a change...
There is a regret: Simon's charm has not been perfectly displayed. I feel that the reason why the heroine falls in love with him is not strong enough. Just because of the quirky personality? Or a rebellious style? Haven't read the book, but I think it's quite possible that some really positive things about Sidney's archetype (i.e. the author of the novel) are not well represented in the movie (albeit probably for the sake of hilarity), which apparently really does It's impossible for people to survive a year and get promoted...

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People quotes

  • Clayton Harding: [Meeting with Sidney for the first time in Clayton's corporate office] You think you've arrived, don't you? Hate to break it to you, but you're only in the first room. In about a year, maybe longer, you'll discover a secret doorway at the back of the first room that leads to the second. And in time, if you're lucky, you'll discover another doorway in the back of the second room that leads to the third. There are seven rooms altogether. You're in the first. I'm in the seventh. Don't you forget it.

    Sidney Young: [nonchalantly] Can I use the bathroom in the seventh? Because the one in the first really smells.

    Clayton Harding: Which leads me to the subject of your sense of humor. I had a look through your magazine here.

    Sidney Young: What did you think?

    Clayton Harding: Felt it was kind of snarky... and bitter... and witless.

  • Sidney Young: I don't know the meaning of the word fear.

    Alison Olsen: I'm sure there are many words you don't know the meaning of.
