How to Be Single — Funny and empowering for women... in some ways — 7*/10

  • Story: In so many ways, it is the opposite of the title, yet it seems to break its own rhythm to find ways to make the title true. So, the message isn't clear and that's unfortunate because the movie is really funny, full of unusual twists and turns which mostly try to step away from the usual romantic comedy trappings.
  • Ending: All in all well done scenario wise, but the actual screen rendition could have been done better.
  • Dialogs: Really funny.
  • Characters: They're not complex, but they aren't stereotyped either, which is good, and you can really get a nice feeling for what kind of person they are.
  • Acting: Very funny and well done. The "eyes song" elements are badly rendered, though.
  • Known actors: Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Leslie Mann and Damon Wayans Jr.
  • Visuals: Beautiful, yet simple, full of details. Still, not the kind of apartment most people can afford, but I think the characters could.
  • Camera Work: Some interesting things.
  • Synopsis & informationhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt1292566/
  • Entertainment value: Pretty high.
  • Who is it for? Anyone looking for something that's silly with a few somewhat serious elements mixed in.
