Movie Review: How To Be Single

While I wasn't expecting How To Be Single to be something more than your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy film, I actually left cruelly disappointed by the end given the excellent promise of its first half. I kid you not. The beginning offered the possibility of a fresh take on this otherwise tired premise complemented by an arresting cast that had fantastic chemistry. Sadly, the movie fell under the same garbage we've all seen before and went into a disjointed narrative mess with oddly written scenes and overly trite script. Rebel Wilson also became nothing short of irritating and a ghastly cliché with her familiar brand of comedy strangely not working with the material. How To Be Single had nothing new or better to offer as it glided along on the charm of the cast, but failed to hide its flaws. No, it didn't end up being an awful film, but I've seen better. 6
