How to Be Single (2016)

My wife and I went to the cinema to watch a random movie. There were not much options, and she has already heard about this movie (how to be single), and so she suggested to watch it. if you think it was about love, it is not. If you think it is about sex, it is not. If you think it is comedy, it is not (except for that crazy fat lady, she is funny though).

The most thing I love in my life is watching movies, especially in the cinema, I am fine spending 3 days in a row, 24 hours watching movies. but this movie... I was trying hard to laugh, it is not funny at all. it is romantic nor drama.

I would have this movie as my last option on a boring day that I have nothing to do

Fmovies: It's got no plot. It's got no point. It has absolutely no clue how to be funny.

Nothing in this mule has a reason to exist.

There isn't a single cliché they used that made any sort of sense. The plot is just confusing and pathetic. Did anyone who reviewed this actually NOT be paid to write a good review.

Most of the scenario is in Manhattan so of course, it's unrealistic with massively large apartments and set in the Meatpacking district. Utterly and totally stupid.

Nothing in this movie made sense. Not by any sense of the word. Anyone who says they like it is obviously from Kansas and has no clue what relationships are like.

This is for the Sex and the City crowd.

Stay away. Stay far away from this dog.

Er, sorry, POS.

My God, what a terrible movie. I know that I shouldn't have high standards when it comes to rom-coms, and trust me mine are super low, but this one hits rock bottom. It is so condescending and sexist that I had a real hard time watching it to the end (I've watched it with a couple of friends so that made me stay). I can actually enjoy trashy films that are so terrible that they are awesome, but this one actually tries to make a point and it fails miserably. The writing is terrible, the acting is terrible, even New York can't help it (and that says a lot). If you are looking for a rom-com, do yourself a favor and skip this one. And then send me a "Thank you" note for those 90 minutes of your life that would gone to waste (plus millions of brain cells you would lose in the process).

How to Be Single fmovies. This is a better than average romantic comedy. I gave this one an extra star, because, although it largely followed the rom-com formula, meaning happy endings for most of the characters, it wasn't obvious who was going to end up with who, or otherwise. Rare is the film in this genre that does not telegraph its exact ending at least forty minutes away. Rebel Wilson played to type and was quite amusing. Alison Brie was lovely, and played her neurotic role very well. Dakota Johnson was absolutely adorable. I hope to see more of her in the future. Kudos to Leslie Mann, as well. The New York sets and photography were impressive, and there were no obtrusive directing techniques.

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!

A mixed cast out of established actors and "Newcomers" aka. "Isn't that the guy from (insert show-name here)" loosens up the mood and gives the general idea that the movie doesn't take itself too serious. Creative details like glowing numbers on bottles and texts in the air also contribute to this.

Furthermore, multiple laugh out loud-moments. Which is always a plus!Rebel Wilson is hilarious. Everybody has to agree at least on that.

Surprisingly not the most stereotypical cheesy wannabe perfect life- ending. A deeper meaning in said ending compliments the movie as a whole, without coming over as forced.

Of course movies like that always sort of have this fakeness about them. I mean, everybody knows that you could never be able to afford this huge apartment in NYC nor experience a love story like that. But you don't watch these films to get realistic life-reviews. You want to simply look at pretty people partying, doubting existence and having sex. In a not weird way of course. "How to be single" will provide you with all three, without making you gag over the silly tackiness.
