Director Christian Ditter’s How
To Be Single is a cute film about the trials and tribulations of
singles in New York and, presumably, elsewhere, as they struggle to find
themselves and meaningful relationships.
Dakota Johnson plays the central character
with sensitivity and aplomb. Leslie Mann
is hilarious and Alison Brie adds to the fun, along with Anders Holm and Damon
Wayans, Jr. Unfortunately, Rebel Wilson still
does not know how to do slovenly while being engaging. As I’ve said before, she needs to better study
Melissa McCarthy’s successful technique.
Writers Abby Kohn, Marc Silverstein and Dana
Fox have hit a lot of high notes, but this is no When Harry Met Sally.
I give How To Be Single a 3.5 out of 5.
