HOW TO BE SINGLE movie review

A movie for the girls. Warner Bros. Pictures bring an unusual team-up with Dakota Johnson and Rebel Wilson in the Valentine-comedy How to Be Single that opens February 11 in theaters. A day early in the Philippines so that the singles could start partying in advance. But the movie celebrates singlehood so it's also okay to spend a few bucks in the movie house with your bestest friends. Alright, even couples can watch this.
HOW TO BE SINGLE is definitely funny and would generally talk about enjoying the single life. We have Dakota Johnson as Alice trying to have a taste of independence within the relationship that's why she's going away from her boyfriend. Then finding herself with Robin (Rebel Wilson) who lives the happy-go-lucky life in New York City, partying every night and not ever going home. Both of them will teach us what will be right or wrong in being a single person and creating a new dimension where we can comfortably fit in. It will be a roller coaster for Alice turning from one man to another and knowing the pros and cons of getting into bed or a commitment. But then, we also bump into her sister, Meg (Leslie Mann) who is also scared of relationships because of responsibilities and changes she may encounter. And there was Lucy (Alison Brie), using the numbers game in search of the right guy in millions of people around the city.
Honestly, I see the movie as one-sided, in favor of the ladies. The guys looked like specimens of affection that will just be there when the ladies need to get laid. The story has been written only for the ladies as if the guys didn't have to look for a partner because ladies come to them. They tried to balance this perception into David (Damon Wayans Jr.) dissing Alice out the relationship somehow redeemed the gentlemen. Tom (Anders Holm) fixing the life that he had, and Josh (Nicholas Braun), Alice's ex-boyfriend, also opted to move on.

This film offered a lot of tips on how to be single. Learning to look good on your own and survival ,ut my most favorite is from Robin. Though it's crazy to have people paying all of expenses outside of your home, you can have your money on your own and maybe get rich! Rebel Wilson can also pull off a drama. Unlike from Pitch Perfect, where her serious face still makes her funny, her lines can sink in to the heart.

Rebel Wilson teaches Dakota Johnson on How to Be Single

Finally there's a movie to celebrate singlehood this Valentines Day! From Warner Bros. Pictures, Dakota Johnson and Rebel Wilson, together with Leslie Mann and Alison Brie, star in How To Be Single. A movie teaching us how to enjoy single life at the center of everything.
In the film, 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.

Dakota Johnson stars as Alice, who sets the adventure in motion when she takes a break from her college boyfriend to get her first real taste of the single life and is hurled into a hilarious crash course in the “right way” to do it from Rebel Wilson’s alpha-single Robin, who lives the film’s tagline: If you’re not having fun being single, you’re not doing it right. We also meet Alice’s big sister Meg, played by Mann, an obstetrician who is too busy to find Mr. Right; and Alison Brie’s Lucy, a college professor who has it down to a science.

THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG review

just fit for the season if you're going to see 9 Works Theatrical's They're Playing Our Song. in a relationship or not, Nikki Gil and Lorenz Martinez will make you believe in love in this romantic comedy musical. but there are still more reasons why you shouldn't miss this.
getting involved in the song: this was the first time that i listened to Fallin' in its context. before, it was just singing the phrases with your whole heart out and when Loi sang it and seeing Nikki react to it. your softer side will flow. there whole ensemble of songs will live you up, tear you down, but still hope in love again. not to mention their back-up voices added to the fun of the whole story.

when rom-coms are usually for chick flicks, this story is addressed to men. this is Vernon's point of view of the relationship. my sympathy is to Vernon. i mean, who wants a third party in a relationship? no one does. it appears that Sonia is the antagonist in the story more of her ex.

the stage is amazing. transporting to not earlier than 1970's gives us a reminder from the revolving stage. with such creativity, the set transforms into another that fast and as entertaining.

They're Playing Our Song, a must-see Valentine treat for everyone is playing until March 3 by 9 Works Theatrical. see it in Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati City.
