It's the lives of various singles in NY. Alice (Dakota Johnson) takes a break from college boyfriend Josh (Nicholas Braun) to find herself. She befriends new co-worker hard-partying Robin (Rebel Wilson). Her sister Meg (Leslie Mann) is an OBGYN who suddenly wants to have a baby. After sleeping with bar owner Tom (Anders Holm), Alice tries to return to Josh but he has found someone else. The deliberately-single Tom is taken with Lucy (Alison Brie) who is searching for marriage. Alice dates widower dad property developer David (Damon Wayans Jr.). Meg meets younger Ken (Jake Lacy) at Alice's office Christmas party.
I actually expected four single gals in a raunchy 'Sex and the City' type comedy. That's not what this is although Rebel Wilson does her best to make it one. In fact, I don't remember Alison Brie having a conversation with the other three women. This is really about a bunch of connected singles. It has a bit of fun. The story wants to be substantive but it gets tied up. It's better than those Day-of-the-year movies by Garry Marshall but that's not saying much. It has moments of fun by these actors and the characters are likable enough.
