Okay film

This is an okay movie, lots of sexual language and sex references but nothing graphic. It promotes good messages about maintaining healthy relationships and making sure to pursue a relationship with yourself as well as others.

This title has:

Great messages
Great role models
Too much sex
Too much swearing
Too much drinking/drugs/smoking

Eh movie. Great for your teens

WARNING FOR PARENTS: Tons of sexual references (can’t really think about anything else.) Somewhat disappointing. The acting was okay, but I felt like the movie was allll over the place. Some movies are great at making the movies all over the place. Felt rushed.

Another great girls night out movie

How to be single is a really funny and entertaining comedy that older teens will love. But it does have a lot of sexy stuff language and a lot of partying. But I think older teens will like it.

Not bad

I watched it with my freinds and it’s a good movie. I think a mature 11 year old can handle it

A film that promotes a great message, but not too funny.

When I watched this, I thought I would be laughing throughout, honestly I only laughed a little bit. However the messages the film promoted was great because you have to have fun being single because it can completely change when you're together with someone. The film contains lots of swearing such as f**k, s**t, d**k, and more. the film contains plenty of drinking where many characters drink and get drunk plus get hangovers. Sex isn't too big of an issue in the film, but there is some sex talk, and some couples passionately kissing before having sex, so most of the sex is implied. This film is okay for teens 15 and up.

Hilarious and sweet comedy is filled with drinking and sex but is brilliant.

This sexy and hilarious but sweet comedy starts on the night of Alice Kepley's graduation from Wesleyan University when she decides it's a good time to break up/take a break from her longterm relationship boyfriend, Josh. Alice has never really been alone in her life before, so she really wants to know what it's like to not be in a relationship, and what it's like to be alone all together, so she moves to New York City, and starts working as a paralegal, where she meets raunchy, and hilarious Robin, who tells Alice some wonderful lessons and positive things about being single, including have the choice about what you want to do. Alice's life is complicated, and she's really trying to find out who she really is, while still trying to be a part of other peoples lives. Meanwhile, Alice's older sister Meg is a busy doctor who wants to be alone forever until she meets a beautiful baby, and decides to get a sperm donor, and have one of her own. And Lucy, a woman who's in Alice's friendship list/orbit thinks her life is perfect, and has a perfect life, or does she? Suddenly, Alice's life starts getting better, or into the flow again, and her friendship with Robin is getting bigger. Will she go back with Josh? Will she start other relationships? Will she be alone? Violence 1/5: No violence, but a character is comically hit by a car two times and is not injured. Sexual content and nudity 4/5: Many sex scenes feature couples in many stages of undress including bare butts, sides of naked breasts, and a bit of thrusting and groping. References to oral sex, many sexual positions, and sexy relationships throughout. Strong sexual innuendo. A pregnant woman is briefly seen letting out water. A man is briefly seen with a huge erection, and his genitals can be briefly seen poking out of his underwear. Couples have simulated sex, but not much nudity is shown and a lot of it's implied. References to male and female genitalia as well as pornography and more. STDs is briefly described and joked about. Language 4/5: Frequent, strong language includes everything between "f--k," and "s--t," as well as "a--hole," "bitch," "slut," "d--k," and more. Drinking and drugs 4/5: Although no drugs are shown on screen, there is tons of nearly constant drinking of vodka, and images of characters getting black out drunk. Drinking of hard liquor at a birthday party. References to cocaine and getting a hangover. This movie is hilarious, sweet, and entertaining but has way too much language, sex, and drinking for young teenagers. My rating:R for crude sexual content including brief graphic nudity, language throughout, and alcohol use.
