Review of How to Be Single Full Movie

Review of How to Be Single Full Movie: This was the perfect movie for my transition from sweet loving girlfriend to PMSing fire-breathing dragon and while my boyfriend hid in his cave under a few mountains of covers claiming "sickness", I was able to stem the flood of anger that comes with, well, the flood. Dakota Johnson's consistent flatness actually worked in this role as she embodied a "lost" character who was hard to read since she didn't quite understand herself yet.



Rebel Wilson continued her type-cast as the obnoxious fun-loving morally-questionable sidekick and Leslie Mann IMO always delivers. And "Dress" was a lovably misguided anti-hero. I do wish that Alison Brie's storyline as more organic, but while the story sometimes wavered & felt forced, the actors were strong enough to make it worth watching. I recommend pairing with an oaky merlot & triple fudge ben & Jerry's and a bell so your boyfriend, mother, roommate, neighbor, dog, butler, etc can provide extra whipped cream at a moment's notice. How to Be Single has the explanation of the movie in its title. The key is to find a Rebel Wilson clone and spend most of the time partying and dreaming of relationships.

Eventually, Alice learns to cook, takes a self-defense, and finally sees the Grand Canyon, but it takes her a long time. How to Be Single was a fun movie with an upbeat soundtrack. I loved the ending and Alice's sister's storyline, but I had a hard time watching Alice spend her single time trying not to be single. It seemed like the opposite of what her goal was. With that being said, I would still watch it on HBO NOW. I laughed a lot and had a good time.


At first, I was a bit suspicious, I'm not gonna lie. It seemed like a total chick flick aimed to an American post-teeny audience. Well, I'm actually glad I watched it because even though it's at times over the top, some scenes, dialogues, and situations ring quite true to what most of us go through in life. Sure, it's a movie and for entertaining reasons, everything is well planned and happens as it should but still, I found the film to have a certain level of accuracy regarding the millennial generation and the way we consume our relationships the same way we consume everything else. The film offers 4 different paths followed by 4 different women, each having an interesting idea of what they want in life, accepting along the way, life isn't the way we imagine but rather something that needs to be lived and experience. Not the masterpiece of the year, but the camera work, the lighting, the music, and costumes all combined with a jolly troop of lovable actors, makes this comedy a nice entertaining film, ideal for a date night at the movies.


This is another one of those chick-flicks, which I didn't find that entertaining, and the jokes seemed way over the top. I did find Rebel Wilson's character (Robin), quite funny but the rest of the cast just kept on moaning about being single. You have Alice (Dakota Johnson) who has been with her boyfriend, Josh (Nicholas Braun) for four years and decides that she wants to put the relationship on hold, while she goes to New York for her new job. Her sister, Meg (Leslie Mann) is a doctor who has delivered many babies but she has never felt the need to settle down and have one herself, until she bonds with one of the babies and decides to try for one, using donated surrogates. Rebel Wilson plays an Australian, crazy party goer, who sleeps with anyone whilst taking drugs and alcohol.

Lucy (Alison Brie) always goes completely overboard when she's in a relationship, which her partners find overbearing and impossible to deal with. So there you have it! You have these four characters who all have there own, personal issues, but their close relationship with each other, help them get through the tough times. The movie seemed to jump from one scene to the next, which became slightly annoying after a while, and with all of them partying and sleeping around, I wasn't surprised that they didn't have time to hold down a proper relationship. I did find the individual characters childish and the storyline was weak and unfunny and by the end of the film I was left feeling empty and not that entertained, so this film has to get the thumbs down from me. I can totally understand why it made such a profit at the box office because there is a lot of people who can relate to the individual issues but I personally found it pretty boring and tedious in places. Average!

These type of Rom-Coms are always guaranteed a big audience but that doesn't always mean that the movie is good. In this case, I can see ladies around the world finding this movie funny, and the dramatic scenes quite touching, but from a man's point of view, it just didn't do it for me. It was directed by, German-born, Christian Ditter, 40, who brought you the Crocodiles franchise and Love, Rosie, starring Lily Collins and Sam Clafin. He hasn't had that much experience behind the camera but he has certainly made his mark in this genre. He did try to make the movie more interesting by making each character different but I still felt that it lacked originality and I got fed up with the whinging after a while.

The young women's attempts to get the life they wanted. Another novel based film from the director of 'Love, Rosie'. About the four young women that tell how to enjoy the life by balancing the men and the parties. The very interesting cast, hot ones like Dakota Johnson, Alison Brie and even she are in her 40s Leslie Mann looked so fantastic. The narration had layers to focus on these different people and their different attempt to get the life they wanted. In that, I kind of like Leslie's, maybe the age fact and to be touched by her love tale with decency. But Dakota and Alison led it with their glamorous way and theirs each tale as well not bad, particularly depicting the present world's youngster's culture.

From the all, the biggest surprise was the Rebel Wilson, who I never liked much as I did for in this, definitely, she was at her best. The story was good, seems it was squashed with the too many contents, but awesomely managed to bring them all in one direction by linking them to the main characters. So that makes the stories of everyone take place within the circle and delivered a good entertainment, Lots of fun, even though it is a purely commercial film, there are many things from it that makes us think seriously. Particularly thinking them from the youngster's perspective about the current world status in the entertainment segment.

I don't know those who are complaining about it had they watched the same film, Because it is a fine entertainment, even though it is chick film, anybody, particular adults can have a great time. In a thin margin, there was about men as well, how they're caught between the women they are in love and those women what they believe in. I'm being a man, I really enjoyed it despite target audience is women. I know this is not a masterpiece, but definitely not the worst film of the year or decade. In the film, everyone wanted to be in the relationship, so I did not get it, but the end clarifies decently about the title. Surely worth a watch, if you want a good entertainment.
