Rebel Wilson, 35, and Dakota Johnson, 26, are giving us the chick flick we all want and need. The first trailer for How To Be Single has just been released and it's downright hilarious. Rebel's character helps Dakota tackle the dating scene, and these two best-friends get involved in some crazy shenanigans. Rebel's character, Robin, is a pro at living the single life. Dakota's character, Alice, is being guided through dating life by Rebel Wilson.
The funniest part of the trailer isn't until the very end when Robin starts talking junk about Alice's genitals. "Is that Tom Hanks from Cast Away? Seriously, it's like Gandalf is staring right at me," Robin jokes about Alice's supposed hairy genitals.
How to Be Single is based on the novel of the same name, an author writing a book about bachelorettes becomes entangled in an international affair while conducting hands-on research abroad. The author and her friends are single New Yorkers who would all much rather be in committed relationships. On a whim, Julie, the writer, decides to write a book about the experiences of single women around the world. She takes a leave of absence from her job as a publicist, jets off to France, and encounters a man named Thomas, who is in an open marriage. Even as she continues her travels to other countries, Julie longs for Thomas, who meets up with her again in Bali, jump-starting a torrid affair. While Julie is off seeing the world, her friends are back in New York, growing closer to each other as their lives develop in wild ways.
