Editorial Review:
A romantic comedy set against the background of the Seattle grunge scene of the late '80s and early '90s, Singles contains music and/or cameo appearances by the music groups who defined the movement, including Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, Mother Love Bone, and others. (For a definitive documentary treatment of the same pop-music phenomenon, see Hype!) The plot is really a series of interconnected stories about various Seattle singles--some of who are part of a couple, at least temporarily. Matt Dillon plays a longhaired rocker whose girlfriend (Bridget Fonda) is considering breast enlargement surgery. As Steve and Linda, Campbell Scott and Kyra Sedgwick are going through the awkward stages of a relationship--that point when quirky little traits that may have seemed attractive initially can evolve into major annoyances. It's a funny, sweet, enjoyable picture that captures some of the flavor of the Northwest, where writer-director Cameron Crowe relocated after marrying Seattle native Nancy Wilson of Heart. (The Wilson sisters also appear on the soundtrack as members of The Lovemongers.) Ten years before the release of Singles in 1992, Crowe was the "boy wonder" reporter for Rolling Stone magazine who went back to high school in order to research and write what became Fast Times at Ridgemont High. His other work includes Jerry Maguire (1996) and Say Anything (1989). --Jim Emerson
Bridget Fonda, Matt Dillon, Kyra Sedgwick and Campbell Scott in an "exuberant romantic comedy" (Rolling Stone) about Seattle twenty-somethings searching for-and running from-love. Bonus: Two outake scenes. Year: 1992

Rating:  - Desperation - it's the world's worst cologne
Singles is a film written and directed by Cameron Crowe that somehow falls flat. He has had some really successful films but Singles isn't one of them. It tried to capture the zeitgeist of Generation X, but was such a flop that Reality Bites, which did capture the zeitgeist of Generation X and the decade that nostalgia forgot, the 90's, was forced to change its marketing strategy, Generation X was never mentioned in their press kits thereafter. This bites for Reality Bites, because Winona Ryder, ... Read More
Rating: - Eh...
Moments of truth, but more moments of cliche, bad music and less than interesting characters. All the depth of those cheesy writings you used to find on Starbucks tables. A little better than "Reality Bites", but that's not saying much. It'll kill a couple hours.
Rating:  - Wonderful Quality!
I recieved the movie faster than expected and it was still in the shrink wrap!
Rating:  - Cameron Crowe's Film #2 Wins Me Over
After watching "Say Anything" and considering it a mediocre film (read my review), I lowered my expectations on this film. I have never seen this film before, yet it remained so dear and near to me most of my life. I recall my now 33 year-old sister having the poster in her room when I was only in the 3rd grade. I remember my sister jamming to the CD and me finding the music odd, but slightly good at the same time. Years past and I hear the songs from the soundtrack and immediately think of that ...

Rating: - A Romantic Comedy That Really Makes a Pleasant Watching
I had this DVD stuck on my shelf for almost 5 years. I just watched it once, right after my purchase. Today I decided to choose one of my movies to revisit and this was my choice. I forgot how pleasant and entertaining this movie is.
"Singles" is a romantic comedy movie with the sound of Seattle rock scene of the 90's running in the background. Basically, this movie approaches the concept of love and relationships as it is for quite a long time. While some still appreciate relationships ... Read More
