How to Be Single is over a half hour before it's over.
November 14, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… -
Wilson generates a number of heartfelt laughs, Johnson is a magnetically compelling lead and Mann is just plain spectacular, stealing every scene she's in with an effortlessness that's just plain super.

If only How to Be Single had the smarts to not just deliver twists on clichs, but avoid them altogether.

How to Be Single is an above average romantic comedy that excels thanks to stellar performances and the fact that Ditter makes an effort to make it a very human story.

True, your average broody careerist might struggle to find a gym-toned-cutie with a secret yearning to be a stay-at-home dad. Then again, what film doesn't encourage fantasies?

Audience Reviews for How to Be Single

Apr 08, 2017A kind of clever and poignant film about relationships, How to Be Single is an entertaining rom-com. After Alice breaks up with her long-time boyfriend she befriends a co-worker who helps her navigate the single scene in New York City; meanwhile, her sister faces her own relationship issues when a casual hook up turns into something more. Starring Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Alison Brie, and Leslie Mann, the casting is pretty good (through Wilson is rather annoying; playing her typical load mouth character). And, the film has some interesting things to say about dating, and the societal expectations that come with it. However, it can be a bit clichéd at times and the jokes are hit and miss. How to Be Single has some problems, but there's a sincerity to it and it deliver a lot of laughs.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jun 15, 2016Too much Rebel Wilson (who is neither funny or convincing) and a child free character who turns full baby crazed within 10 minutes kill this one. Otherwise could have been a decent chick flick.Nicki M Super Reviewer

Jun 08, 2016Much better than I fist imagined and the script is funny and realistic and director DItter captures the single life in the modern era quite well. Dakota Johnson is likeable as the lead heroine and Rebel Wilson is funny but her act wears thin by movie's end. But, I have always questioned the talents of Leslie Mann in the past and found her shrew. But, she gets a good role that shows she has some depth as an actress. The script is slow but the end is satisfying enough. Good rental for the weekend. 06-03-2016Christopher O Super Reviewer

Jun 02, 2016Dakota Johnson's flat everygirl quality is actually quite perfect for Alice, a twenty-something trying to find herself in the aftermath of a codependent relationship. There is the requisite misguided ex-sex and no-strings-attached friend-sex of a standard romcom, but there's also genuine friendship between the age-diverse women and a good balance of raunchy girl-bonding comedy (courtesy of reliable hot mess Rebel Wilson) and complex emotion from the parade of interesting new suitors. The ending also delivers well on the premise of the title - no more, no less.Alice S Super Reviewer
