There's a right way to be single, a wrong way to be single, and
then...there's Alice. And Robin. Lucy. Meg. Tom. David. New York City is
full of lonely hearts seeking the right match, be it a love connection,
a hook-up, or something in the middle. And somewhere between the
teasing texts and one-night stands, what these unmarrieds all have in
common is the need to learn how to be single in a world filled with
ever-evolving definitions of love. Sleeping around in the city that
never sleeps was never so much fun.

Add SynopsisUser Reviews
This movie may not be the guide to finding your soul mate or staying single
If you follow the life
lessons from "How To Be Single" you could possibly pick up some sexually
transmitted disease and most definitely will remain single for the rest
of your natural born life. Essentially this is a chick flick and no
male has any right to challenge it's view point, but I will. Why are
males always represented as bastards? We are simple creatures with
simple needs not like you complex females. We need good loving, good
company and good food. End of story. For all of the the above we will
remain loyal obedient creatures for life, a bit like your dog. Dakota
Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Leslie Mann and Alison Brie form an unofficial
lonely hearts club in New York City...just looking for Mr Right and
often sleeping with Mr Wrong. The message from this movie is supposedly
that we need to learn how to be single in a world filled with
ever-evolving definitions of love...however the main characters never
seem fulfilled until they have met their soul mate after bedding
hundreds of potential candidates. How To Be Single is at times a funny
movie mainly thanks to the Aussie one woman invasion force of Rebel.
Some of you may find too many home truths in this film. If you like Sex
and the City, but hated 50 Shades this may be for you. Did I mention
there is a lot of sleeping around in the city that never sleeps as
Starship once sang. In fact I doubt 24 hours goes past when any of these
characters are not in some type of relationship. If you're really
looking for a guide to the single life this ain't it, but it could be a
fun date movie with no sport involved. Personal Highlight: the sauna
