A mixed bag. This actually deserves a fair amount of praise for its broad scope of characters and time, and in addition is a genuinely likable female rom-com. On the other hand, it's dragged down by a massive number of cliches, and a pretty dire soundtrack that was probably just culled from whatever was on the Top 10 List when this movie was being made.

Rebel Wilson playing Rebel Wilson for the 5th consecutive time. When will it end?

A truly awful film. There is no real direction or sense of what's going on, as the film jumps from one scene to the other. Alison Brie exists in another universe, never interacting with the three other women. Rebel Wilson, the only funny person in the film, fades away quickly. *puts on Roger Ebert's glasses* Perhaps this film should have been titled, "How NOT to Make a Movie".

To be fair, this wasn't meant for me and I sat through it as a sort of favor, but also to be fair, it's horrible. This is not a well-made rom-com for twenty-somethings, but an MTV-watching teen's idea of what they hope being a twenty-something will be like. The film's only surprises are entirely the result of its need to check off as many politically correct boxes as it reasonably can, so if nothing else, proponents of diversity-for-diversity's-sake now have that feather in their cap.

Was down to about a 30 with all the chick-flick music, sit-com, and scenes with Rebel Wilson in it. But worked its way back up a tad toward the end.

In the City that Never Sleeps, where all the girls are models except one, who is but of course funny; where there is party and party every other night - nothing happens. For the full two hours - just nothing happens. People show up, have sex with one another and try not to talk much, as they are aware of the jokes they make. That's it. Nothing else. Mind me, you have to be single in this crowd and either carefully consider monastic way for the rest of the life or put your mental health at risk.

A bit of a letdown, simply because it feels unfocused and struggles to clearly get across its purpose until it has 20 minutes left - and does so with no concept of subtlety - How to Be Single is a funny movie with a strong cast, but doesn't quite succeed at being the anti-rom-com it sets out to be. It has enough laughs to make it worthwhile, but ultimately just feels like the first draft. It will hopefully be followed up by better films. [Full Review]

Its occasionally funny i guess. It doesn't dip into lower tiers bc it breaks from the cliche in a lot of ways. Except alot of these people don't behave like humans, at least not any humans i know.

I'm not really sure what I expected here, but... Man oh man. I don't know what this movie was trying to tell me, honestly. Also, for a movie titled 'How to be single", I expected the main characters to be actually single for more than max. 15% of the time during the movie. Ah, well.
