This is a near romantic comedy centering on Alice (Dakota Johnson) who has been cared for her whole life. She breaks up with her college boyfriend Josh (Nicholas Braun) so she can live on her own...with her sister Meg the doctor (Leslie Mann) and her best friend Robin (Rebel Wilson). Robin enjoys being single and leaving her mark all over NYC and gives Alice advice. Meg doesn't want children but delivers them for a living. She has no relationships. As a subplot there is bartender Tom (Anders Holm) and Lucy (Alison Brie) who hangs out in his bar for free Wi-Fi.Rebel brings to the screen her over-sexed outrageous personality that is always good for a laugh, if not shock value. Alice is our protagonist and is a bit on the mousey side, not being able to operate the menu on her remote. Apparently all the young single people in NYC hook-up with somebody different every night without any worry about consequences, making me feel like when I read a Playboy that the whole world is having an orgy except me.While the film had its moments and a feel good ending, it wasn't the formula romantic comedy as there was no "Up Where We Belong" moment.Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.

... View MoreThis is basically one of those holiday themed movies (New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, etc... ) except that instead of being about a specific occasion, it's about the whole spectrum of not being in a relationship... It might as well be called "The Single Experience"... The problem is, it tries so hard to cover all bases, that nothing it settles upon ever winds up really resonating (for me, at least).This is the number one problem I have with most ensemble movies - they're loose, shapeless, and unreliable... I wouldn't put up with those characteristics in a potential mate of mine, so why should I look past them, in a movie ABOUT the dating scene?!
... View MoreAt this point I'm going to chuck it up to generational differences and reality because I'm in my 30s and I actually know what real life in NYC is like.As for generational differences, after watching several millenial-oriented movies, I'm going to assume that stupid and imagination-less crass crap is the new funny and that below average women are the new interesting women.As for reality, it reminds me that a paralegal can't afford a full apartment by herself in Manhattan, and that Manhattan night life eats extra large, crass women for breakfast.A horribly, pathetic, failed attempt at re-creating "Sex and the City" for boring millenial women everywhere, this movie is the type that makes very, very naive and, sadly, deluded young women from small towns move to NYC and post laughable craigslist ads such as "Wanted: 1 bedroom apt. Max budget $500." This type of movie is responsible for NYC's young homeless population. Stop making this stupid movie. Thanks!
