United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	It’s all stuff we’ve seen a million times before, but the movie wears its familiarity lightly (...) and there’s also something refreshing about a comedy that treats certain topics simply as part of their characters’ lives, not bullseyes for tired jokes"	POS
United States	Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"This reheated "Sex and the City" adventure flops, even with Leslie Mann and Rebel Wilson hard at work being funny"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"This offbeat comedy about sex and the city delivers a surprisingly high quotient of solid laughs. (...) a rare example of a film that's actually better than it appeared"	POS
United Kingdom	John Hazelton Screendaily	"Seemingly designed to be acceptable to both sides of the dating equation, it might work as Valentine’s Day fodder but it’s likely to wilt as quickly as a bunch of cheap roses"	NEU
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"One of the most endearing romantic comedies in recent memory, with some laugh-out-loud dialogue, gorgeous photography and uniformly charming performances from the entire cast (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"A scattershot spin on 'Sex and the City (...) 'How to Be Single' never transcends its most sitcom-y instincts"	NEG
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"Half the scenes are terrible, nervously edited and predictable (...) But I enjoyed more of 'How to Be Single' than I would've thought possible"	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"A disjointed and intermittently funny comedy that does, at least, avoids some predictable clichés about love and marriage"	NEU
