Too much of everything

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is a good and funny movie. I do not understand the bad reviews. some sayings in the movie are mega funny, so, just have a look.

"How To Be Single" is a self-help guide that's still figuring things out. It lacks intense introspection, and its attention is arguably distracted, as it's divided between the muddled storylines of various characters. That being said, "HTBS," is an insanely fun film that should be on every romantic comedy fan's to-see list. If I had to file "HTBS" under a sub-genre, I would place it under something along the lines of "girl power." Although their romantic relationships are vital to the movie's central plot, it's ultimately Alice (Dakota Johnson), Robin (Rebel Wilson), and Meg's (Leslie Mann) relationships with each other that reign supreme, as can be seen in how Alice, the protagonist, ultimately ends up finding fulfillment within herself, rather than with any of her romantic conquests. It's similar to the likes of "Sex and the City" (2008) and "Girls Trip" (2017) in that the film's central plot revolves around the women's friendship, deeming their romantic lives as more of a fun side than the main focus. The soundtrack is effective in how it accentuates the mood, whether the scene be a sweaty night at the bar, hungover commute to work, or tender New Years Eve hike. Editing, such as counting the beers during the drinks scene between Alice and Tom (Anders Holm), helps to give the movie its modern feel. Johnson is surprisingly likable as Alice. Coming off of "Fifty Shades of Grey" (2015) one might expect her performance to be rather bland, one-note even. However, Johnson is able to prove herself as a comedic actress. There are, undeniably some slow moments; one scene that sticks out is between Alice and David (Damon Wayans Jr.). Thanks to a flash-forward that feels out of place and unnecessary (there are no others like it in the film), their confrontation feels inappropriate. Since there's such a big jump in time, most of the exposition is forced into clunky dialogue, rather than the audience being shown the ultimate downfall of their relationship. Nevertheless, Johnson does her best to portray the months of emotional confusion that the audience is not shown. "HTBS" is also interesting in how it approaches hook-up culture through a feminist lens. Alice's reasoning for breaking up with her boyfriend (Josh, played by Nicholas Braun) is that she wants to experience the world fully, and does not feel like she can do so while remaining in her long-term college relationship. Alice is shown with multiple partners but is never slut-shamed. Balancing her personal life with her profession (which could've admittedly been touched on more), Alice portrays a modern woman who exudes independence through how she is constantly seeking it. Overall, "HTBS" is a fun film that doesn't take itself too seriously. While it does address some serious themes (ex. finding love after loss, unorthodox pregnancies/families), "HTBS" aims to be more of a fun, entertaining experience than intellectual stimulator, and should be celebrated for not attempting to pass as otherwise.

I was really looking forward to this movie after watching the trailer and I was thinking it was going to give me some good pointers on how to love being single. Instead, it gave me some raunchy, unadulterated and sloppy/poor advice. It was supposed to be a comedy though, so parts of it were quite funny. I guess the concept was all about 'who gives a rip, just live it up' mindset. I never saw the ladies at their job very often, so it seemed like even though they met at work, they didn't have much to do with the place. It was all about the social, party and the give it up to just anyone who will have you aspect. Not my thing! I wouldn't call it a waste of time, but I wouldn't watch it again. To each their own! Let it be!

Really nice movie it's have everything Love, Comedy and Rebel Wilson you know how funny she is of course if you watched her couple of movies it's really funny she used word SEXUAL CURRENCY this word doesn't even exit but not just she used word she also pay with it really funny though and Dakota Johnsan damn she is very pretty and here she got break up again and again she still have hope but finally she decided to be a single it's funny some good moment there is many stories running inside in this movie and whole is just awesome this is a story about how can a girl be single of course title describe it but as a guy it's look like it's much challenging for girls to be single why they don't make a movie for a guy that how will a guy be single probably people will not interesting it even i will not but this i like this one
