Leave your thoughts about How to Be Single.
| Associated PressJake CoyleHow to Be Single deserves credit for fashioning a romantic comedy that diminishes romance and elevates independence, even if its vision of solitude is a shallow version of "me" time. |
| Showbiz JunkiesRebecca MurrayRebel Wilson comes to the rescue whenever the pace gets sluggish or the tone takes a too serious turn. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIt’s one of the most endearing romantic comedies in recent memory, with some laugh-out-loud dialogue, gorgeous photography and uniformly charming performances from the entire cast. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIt embraces so many sitcom clichés-mixed with periodic girls-gone-wild shtick-that any deeper message it might want to convey is lost in the shuffle. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonHollywood does not know how to make a movie about women that isn't about the pursuit of romance. Even when women say they don't want romance, they're lying. |
| Observer (UK)David JenkinsThe film doesn't reinvent any wheels, and it doesn't try to. But it hits a lot of small, important notes dead on, which helps How to Be Single rise above the rabble. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanHow to Be Single shows that rom-coms can be artfully made and intelligent, rather than dumb and pandering. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattHow to Be Single is a lot like its Jager-bombing, romance-seeking protagonists: Cute and goofy and kind of a mess. |
| New York Daily NewsStephen WhittyThis smart, raunchy comedy is a movie aimed at women. Full of frank, just-us-girls talk about men and wicked gags about drunken sex and intimate "landscaping," it's probably a poor choice for date night. But it's a great pick for girl's night out. |
| Paste MagazineAndy HerrenWhat the film lacks in general cohesion it makes up for with a zippy energy, talented cast and smart script. |
