How to Be Single

It’s all stuff we’ve seen a million times before, but the movie wears its familiarity lightly (...) and there’s also something refreshing about a comedy that treats certain topics simply as part of their characters’ lives, not bullseyes for tired jokes" 

"This reheated "Sex and the City" adventure flops, even with Leslie Mann and Rebel Wilson hard at work being funny" 

"This offbeat comedy about sex and the city delivers a surprisingly high quotient of solid laughs. (...) a rare example of a film that's actually better than it appeared" 

"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 (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)" 

"A scattershot spin on 'Sex and the City (...) 'How to Be Single' never transcends its most sitcom-y instincts" 

"Half the scenes are terrible, nervously edited and predictable (...) But I enjoyed more of 'How to Be Single' than I would've thought possible" 

"A disjointed and intermittently funny comedy that does, at least, avoids some predictable clichés about love and marriage" 

"Seemingly designed to be acceptable to both sides of the dating equation, it might work as Valentine’s Day fodder but it’s likely to wilt as quickly as a bunch of cheap roses"
