You won't be disappointed!
Just perfect...
hyped garbage
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
View MoreThere are no redeeming qualities in this movie. Although Leslie Mann and Rebel Wilson are great comedians, this movies writing cannot be saved by them.I imagine this movie was written by aliens who have never actually interacted with human beings before. They have perhaps on one occasion binge watched cougar town and the hang over movies because they were so depressed that their home galaxy had been swallowed by a black hole. Perhaps the aliens then proceeded to eat some junk food, to which they had a severe allergic reaction that caused them to have a minor stroke. Perhaps they then went to sleep, suffered from really very, very, disturbing dreams that they thought they needed to talk to someone about, and proceeded to write down the gist of it in their dream journals. Perhaps when they later read the content of their dream journal, they were gripped by the shallow, meaningless, indifference of the whole dream, and feeling very certain that if anyone should ever read said entry, they would deem them very shallow and dull. Perhaps that caused the aliens to feel sickened and threatened by their journals, and felt the only way to put that sorry part of their lives behind them was to throw it out of the lavatory feature of their hovercraft. Perhaps then it subsequently fell in the hands of some evil marketing exec's, who then decided to combine the content of the deranged alien dreamscape with things that go really well with focus groups consisting of people who have recently been freed from at least ten years of forced captivity. Or perhaps something even worse happened to make this movie exist in the world.
View MoreChristian Ditter, director of Love, Rosie, which, I have to add, I thoroughly enjoyed, gives us a not so romantic or comic film on How To Be Single, tackling how messy adulthood and relationships can be. (And what is it with rooftops Ditter?) Having quite a strong cast of characters it's central to Alice, having come away from a serious relationship to spread her wings in the Big Apple. It seems she's not sure what she actually wants and goes to and fro between wanted to be free and single to being lonely and needing that self gratification of being loved and wanted. The other characters such as her brooding sister nurse and her outrageous and liberating colleague and friend offer opposing ends of a spectrum, this coupled with some other characters that flit in and out of the story lines, such as Alison Brie's desperate yet conscientious Lucy. Relating to my own singledom, it's actually very one sided and seems little is drawn from single people's experiences and more so of people struggling with a life of solitude. It comes quite close to missing the point entirely, only to be given some deep and meaningful revelation at the conclusion. There's some hilarious moments, like the sauna scene but then other parts seem to just attempt to be funny, though well scripted and actually very well shot, it's unfortunately predictable and feels like it's on constant fast forward. Dakota Johnson took the lead as Alice, after Lily Collins dropped out and does a fine job portraying the beautiful yet bashful noob to being free and available. Leslie Mann plays her sister, but is pretty much the same character she has always played. Though very much from the female perspective, the two key male characters are actually highly entertaining, and again offer extreme stereotypes of either end of a spectrum. Anders Holm's brutally honest barman/player extraordinaire and Jake Lacy's down to earth and highly likable receptionist. The star is definitely Rebel Wilson. She gets the best lines, and this is so her. She's like the devil incarnate and is the true highlight of the movie. Fil Eisler deserves a mention too, his score is suits the film and sets the mood perfectly. It's a coming of age drama with moments of sweetness among moments of trashiness. It can, shamefully, be a good reflection of modern era romances, however, not much about being single but more of exploring and taking advantages of your freedom. Running Time: 7 The Cast: 7 Performance: 7 Direction: 7 Story: 6 Script: 6 Creativity: 6 Soundtrack: 7 Job Description: 6 The Extra Bonus Points: 5 just for Rebel Wilson. Blu-ray: Hmm, maybe if on special. 64% 6/10
View MoreWow, this movie was boring. 'How to be Single' doesn't need nor deserves another introduction. The movie is directed by Chrsitian Ditter (Love, Rosie) and stars Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Leslie Mann and Alison Brie as four single women living in New York City, trying to find out if they want to be single or not.We, as the human race, have barely recovered from 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and Dakota Johnson throws another atrocity in our faces. It isn't as bad as this inexplicable hype was, but still, how and why, really why did this movie get made? The movie has no content, no relevant message, tried and failed at being heartfelt, and wasn't even funny. There's not much worse than a comedy, trying to be a drama as well, without any good jokes. It's plain boring. Granted, not all the characters were two-dimensional, but we never got to care about them. They're just random people, living their random uninteresting lives. The addition of Rebel Wilson was supposed to bring some comic relief but that didn't work out at all. I haven't heard a single original, smart joke the entire movie. In fact, at least four jokes or funny situation used in this movie were firstly used in the sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother'. The movie follows the four lives of four different women. Leslie Mann is Dakota Johnson's older sister, Rebel Wilson is a colleague of the latter and Alison Brie is What on earth was her role in this movie? Her character felt irrelevant to the story, as if it her scenes were added later on in the production process. Dakota Johnson's character is the main character and the movie focuses on her in particular. Johnson did a fine job, but her character arch was so uninteresting and made the entire movie seem pointless. There's not much you can get out of this movie. No jokes, the jokes they had were already used in a sitcom, uninteresting characters, pointless storyline, a completely irrelevant character, and the list can go on and on. As a result, 'How to be Single' is a boring movie that feels way longer than the 1h 50 min it is.
