How to Be Single: Movie Review
By Sandra Merino
What is the true meaning of being single? Some people may say loneliness. However that’s not the case.
Being single means you’re just having a good time in figuring out who you really are. It’s the time where you’re trying to make yourself happy and you’re enjoying the little things in life that really matter.
Being single means a person is only trying to please themselves and trying to figure out what they really want in life. If you want a better description of being single then How to Be Single is the movie for you.
The film How to Be Single tells the life of four very different gals. The film stars Dakota Johnson as Alice, Rebel Wilson as Robin, Leslie Mann as Meg, and Alisson Brie as Lucy. All four of them have different goals they want in life; however, they somehow have something in common: they’re all single. This film is rated R. This film has great humor.
Lucy is portrayed by Dakota Johnson who leaves her partner and tries to start a new life but somehow she keeps returning to him. Until one day, he breaks her heart, and she finds out who she really is.
Robin plays by Rebel Wilson is the complete opposite. She knows who she is, and she doesn’t care what anybody thinks about her. Robin is the party girl who is just looking to have a great time.
Now, Meg which is Lucy’s older sister is a workaholic. Meg is a doctor. She is always busy, and she is eager to start a family. Meg really wants a baby but she hasn’t found the right guy. Until one day, she thinks about doing artificial examination. Meg’s wish comes true, and she becomes pregnant.
Lucy really wants a husband so she searches for the one. She has her life planned out which she tends to scare men away because she comes off as very strong. Then Lucy realizes that she doesn’t have to keep trying to find the one. Instead, she focuses on herself. She realizes that she doesn’t have to keep searching anymore because when the time is right a man will come in her life.
At the very end, these ladies learned a very important lesson. They learned that they should not dwell on the past and just live their lives. They learn that they should enjoy the moment while it lasts. They learn that they should enjoy the time they have to themselves because one day that time will end.
This film is great. I definitely give it a thumbs up. I would encourage people to go see this film especially women because they can relate to these four women. The challenges they face in this movie are very relatable .What they go through in this film is what some women are going through in their everyday lives.
