There's a right way to be single, a wrong way to be single, and then...there's Alice. And Robin. Lucy. Meg. Tom. David. New York City is full of lonely hearts seeking the right match, be it a love connection, a hook-up, or something in the middle. And somewhere between the teasing texts and one-night stands, what these unmarrieds all have in common is the need to learn how to be single in a world filled with ever-evolving definitions of love. Sleeping around in the city that never sleeps was never so much fun.

Critics Consensus: How to Be Single boasts the rough outline of a feminist rom-com, but too willingly indulges in the genre conventions it wants to subvert.

Common Sense Says

Comedy about love, friendship has sex, drinking.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that How to Be Single is a comedy about friendship and romance with fairly mature themes that are a better fit for older teens and up. Plus, there's tons of sex, swearing, and drinking. Expect a lot of innuendo, as well as many scenes that show men and women hooking up, though nudity is limited to a shot of a man's naked backside. Language is strong and frequent ("f--k," "s--t," and more), and characters drink to the point of blacking out and forgetting that they'd slept with someone the night before.
