Drew Barrymore to Direct Ensemble Romcom ‘How to Be Single’
Posted on Wednesday, March 16th, 2011 by Angie Han
Though she’s better known as an actress, Drew Barrymore made her directorial debut with 2009′s Whip It, starring Ellen Page as a teenager who joins a roller derby team. While I wouldn’t say it demonstrated a distinctive directorial style, Whip It was a solid first effort. I found the film to be genuine, funny and sweet, with strong performances by Page and co-stars Kristen Wiig, Marcia Gay Harden and Alia Shakwat.
Now, Barrymore’s looking to step up to the director’s chair a second time with How to Be Single, a romantic comedy detailing the entanglements of a group of New Yorkers over the course of a decade. Read more after the jump.
