One-time comedy for a boring evening. It could be used as a great source of white noise to make the process of cleaning your house more bearable. You don't need to watch the film very attentively, because even if you miss 20 or 60 minutes, it will still be clear what happened and what is going to happen. Unfortunately, much should not be expected from this movie.
For me, it was obvious even from the very beginning. The cast, the poster, the soundtracks, and especially the name. Everything gives you a vibe of a cheap comedy where you can't find a single new idea to think about.
The film tells the story of several girls who live their lonely lives in search of themselves. Each character is looking for something unique and necessary for them in their solitude.
So if you aren't ready to spend your time watching something decent and meaningful, the film is just for you.

This film tells the story of four women who are single, but have different ways to approach being single. Some of them want a relationship, while some of them want to remain single.
"How to Be Single" is not a step by step guide on how to remain single, as I thought it might be. It is actually quite a realistic take on the modern dating and relationship world. It shows some people are afraid of relationships, some people are desperate, while some people are inept at getting relationship.
The plot is sweet, bitter and bittersweet, reflecting what urban people go through in the dating world. I enjoyed watching it.

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.
Good movie + Rebel Wilson = bad movie
I would have enjoyed this film a lot, if Rebel wouldn't have been it. Her character was so annoying that my family and I almost stopped watching the movie. She has the most annoying roles in movies and they still keep casting her. The roles she plays are really one-sided, the recipe is simple: one joke characters, who know how to party and are allowed to say and do anything.
The story line is not too complex, however, for a one-watch-only movie it is not that bad. There were some good puns and I was kind of interested in the ending.

I'll be honest, I was dragged to this movie by a girl friend. I was tired of the rom com genre. I had seen it all before. Ill say this, this movie strips away all those clichés and goes in the opposite direction. What a lovely and funny R rated comedy with a lot of heart. There are so many charming moments that I cannot even explain them all. Rebel Wilson does her usual thing but here she perfects it and brings a certain edge to her performance. Its my favorite performance of hers. Dakota Johnson gives the best performance of her young career and Leslie Mann owns her roll. Its her funniest, saddest, and truest performance to date. Yes Im still talking about a raunchy comedy here. There is more to this movie than you might think. The men in the film are actually better written that most clichéd men in romantic comedies. Finally, the ending is just perfect for those single people out there.I advise seeing this with a friend and not with a significant other. **** out of 5 stars.

[I've been thinking that the time we have to be single, is really the time we have to get good at being alone]
[But, how good at being alone do we really want to be?]
[Isn't there a danger that you'll get so good at being single, so set in your ways, that you'll miss out on the chance to be with somebody great?]
