Based on its trailers, one might assume that How to Be Single is just another Sex and the City wannabe about young women living it up in New York and half-heartedly looking for love along the way. To be fair, the film is certainly tailor-made to appeal to the young female demographic. After all, the stars of Fifty Shades of Grey and Pitch Perfect are probably its biggest selling points. However, while those moviegoers looking to blast “Single Ladies” on their way to the theater will find plenty here to satisfy their desire for vicarious living through the characters onscreen, the film itself has a bit more on its mind than just rounds of shots and casual hook-ups.
