Plot

In the bustling heart of New York City, the film "Better Off Single" unravels the intriguing journey of Charlie Carroll (Aaron Tveit), a man who boldly steps into the realm of freedom by quitting his job and leaving his girlfriend (Abby Elliott) on the same day. Yet, as he dives headfirst into the turbulent waters of the NYC dating scene, Charlie starts questioning his newfound liberty. Single life, it appears, may be a battlefield he's ill-prepared for. In fact, the complexities of life itself seem to baffle Charlie, a sentiment echoed by his ex-girlfriend's father (Chris Elliott). With no job to tie him down and no love to anchor his heart, Charlie embarks on an intense quest for self-discovery. This journey, however, takes an unexpected turn as he begins to experience surreal hallucinations, haunting flashbacks, and whimsical sex fantasies. These peculiar occurrences serve as a mirror, reflecting his inner turmoil and the chaos of his life. Steeped in humor and poignancy, "Better Off Single" follows Charlie's relentless pursuit to find not just a new love, but also himself. The question remains, will he find 'the one'? Or has that ship sailed off into the horizon, carrying with it his only hopes for a stable relationship? The film weaves a tale of self-exploration, heartbreak, and the unpredictable nature of love, offering a refreshing take on the romantic comedy genre.
