Clevercell Very disappointing...
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
macewindu6 Where to start, this film was sold as a romantic comedy via trailers etc, this could not be further from the truth. This film lacks in any real direction with the main characters who are all dreary, and some of the side stories are unnecessary and kill the option of deeper character developments, now there are some well established names on the script so I expected better!
Feisty Vixxen A quirky, light comedy showing different women wanting different things from relationships at different stages of their lives. It's not deep, it's not life changing, but as a female, I can relate to each and every female character, having had various expectations in relationships, and of myself, throughout my life. I found it funny and the ending perfect for the story.
dirtphelia At this point I'm going to chuck it up to generational differences and reality because I'm in my 30s and I actually know what real life in NYC is like.As for generational differences, after watching several millenial-oriented movies, I'm going to assume that stupid and imagination-less crass crap is the new funny and that below average women are the new interesting women.As for reality, it reminds me that a paralegal can't afford a full apartment by herself in Manhattan, and that Manhattan night life eats extra large, crass women for breakfast.A horribly, pathetic, failed attempt at re-creating "Sex and the City" for boring millenial women everywhere, this movie is the type that makes very, very naive and, sadly, deluded young women from small towns move to NYC and post laughable craigslist ads such as "Wanted: 1 bedroom apt. Max budget $500." This type of movie is responsible for NYC's young homeless population. Stop making this stupid movie. Thanks!
Veteransson Wow, this movie was boring. 'How to be Single' doesn't need nor deserves another introduction. The movie is directed by Chrsitian Ditter (Love, Rosie) and stars Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Leslie Mann and Alison Brie as four single women living in New York City, trying to find out if they want to be single or not.We, as the human race, have barely recovered from 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and Dakota Johnson throws another atrocity in our faces. It isn't as bad as this inexplicable hype was, but still, how and why, really why did this movie get made? The movie has no content, no relevant message, tried and failed at being heartfelt, and wasn't even funny. There's not much worse than a comedy, trying to be a drama as well, without any good jokes. It's plain boring. Granted, not all the characters were two-dimensional, but we never got to care about them. They're just random people, living their random uninteresting lives. The addition of Rebel Wilson was supposed to bring some comic relief but that didn't work out at all. I haven't heard a single original, smart joke the entire movie. In fact, at least four jokes or funny situation used in this movie were firstly used in the sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother'. The movie follows the four lives of four different women. Leslie Mann is Dakota Johnson's older sister, Rebel Wilson is a colleague of the latter and Alison Brie is… What on earth was her role in this movie? Her character felt irrelevant to the story, as if it her scenes were added later on in the production process. Dakota Johnson's character is the main character and the movie focuses on her in particular. Johnson did a fine job, but her character arch was so uninteresting and made the entire movie seem pointless. There's not much you can get out of this movie. No jokes, the jokes they had were already used in a sitcom, uninteresting characters, pointless storyline, a completely irrelevant character, and the list can go on and on. As a result, 'How to be Single' is a boring movie that feels way longer than the 1h 50 min it is.
