How to Be Single follows four women and their path to find themselves. We first meet Alice (Johnson) who decides to break up with her boyfriend so that way she can experience being single. Unfortunately once she is finished with her adventurous discovery, she tries to get back with her boyfriend who rejects her. Now officially single, with the help of Robin (Wilson), she goes through ups and downs with finding herself and new relationships. Meanwhile Lucy (Brie) is looking for the perfect man and Meg (Mann) feels her career is the love of her life.
It is kind of a spin on Sex in the City, movie version. Charlotte is Lucy. Samantha is Robin. Carrie is Alice. And Miranda is Meg.
The film was cute and funny, but nothing spectacular. I did appreciate the new independent spin. Finally there is a romantic film that does not always end up in a relationship. Not that I don't like relationships, but there are so many rom-com films that have this ending. The guy getting the girl. This one of course has that too, but not for everyone. Sometimes the love that one needs is just from yourself.
This film gives you a variety of perspectives, so as an audience member there should be someone that you can connect to. If not, well...hm...try Deadpool.
This is definitely a single gal's movie. Best to see with girlfriends and maybe a woman relative or two. Get brunch and then see this film in the morning. 3 popcorns.
