Drew Barrymore to Direct "How to Be Single"

Drew Barrymore will return to the director’s chair for her sophomore effort, "How to Be Single," a New Line romantic comedy that she's producing alongside her Flower Films partner Nancy Juvonen.

According to THR, the movie is based on the novel written by Liz Tuccillo and presented in the mold of New Line’s successful multi-story pics such as "He’s Just Not That Into You" and "Valentine’s Day."

"How to be Single" explores the love lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the course of ten years.

Drew made her directing debut in 2009 with "Whip It," the well-regarded female-centric roller derby flick starring Ellen Page and Marcia Gay Harden, among others.
