Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

How to Be Single (2016)

Young woman decides to take a break from her long-term boyfriend to decide if he’s the one. Once she's ready to settle down, wouldn’tcha know it, he’s moved on.

There were tons of problems with this film, but the bulk of them seemed to be a lack of character development and a completely obfuscated timeline. There was no indication of how much time had passed -- so I was unclear whether her ex had found someone new in a week or 18 months. Also, I’m getting pretty tired of Rebel Wilson’s lazy party girl shtick.
