Review of How to Be Single (2016) by Moviegainz — 29 Mar 2016

How to be Single. When I first when into the cinema I was very skeptical, I don't dig chick flicks and I wouldn't classify this as a chick flick although it does capture the female experience of being single.

I had mixed feelings about the movie, I felt as if the plot was very unfocused and the character development was awful on some of the characters. You don't actually grow to care to about any of them, I got a 'Crazy Stupid Love" vibe but the characters weren't handled as well.

There were too many characters and there wasn't really a lead character to follow. It's just different characters in their own little world. Let's get it this out of the way, I hate Rebel Wilson, I think the whole 'Fat Amy' and making fun of herself is not funny, she plays the same person in every movie, I think she has potential but it is clearly not visible in this movie.

She has no development in the movie. Besides those flaws, I actually laughed a few times and I was thoroughly enjoying myself at most times. Leslie Mann and Dakota Johnson were the best in there roles in my opinion.

Overall, this movie wasn't a bad time. Go see it if there are no Deadpool showings and if you got the extra money! As a comedy it made me laugh and for that it gets a 6.5/10.
