How To Be Single is like the female version of The Awkward Moment but better. 

Pinning together several storylines and cliches, How To Be Single sets out to show the ever-evolving viewpoints on love. For some, such as Lucy (Alison Brie), love can be calculated to find that perfect match. For others, such as Tom (Anders Holm), it's all about keeping a distance. Every character stands out with having their own personal way of perceiving love and the movie doesn't look down or esteem any of them in particular. Instead, it embraces all of them, directing you to follow the path that works best for you. Some may need a partner there to guide them while others are set on conquering the world on their own. 

Now for a film that feels like the epitome of "chick-bait", I was surprised to see the amount of jokes that hit for both genders. Rebel Wilson may not be everyone's favorite, but with a reserved role like this one, you appreciate her outlandish moments when they break the tension on screen. That "Season 3 of Friends" joke especially. Even Dakota Johnson's character of Alice, who follows the cliche "I have to find myself" path, serves as a decent protagonist who gets called out for her "mistakes" in a genre that would otherwise embrace them. 

Overall, How To Be Single surprised me as being more than the average "chick-flick" that it was advertised as being. By the end credits, I'd give it a highly recommended RENT IT, but if you're dragged into watching it, at least you'll have a good time.
