Summary: Singles - The best romantic comedy of the 90's
Review: I am not what you would call a "movie junkie". I don't watch movies just for the sake of watching something. I just can't sit down and watch mindless television. But there are some movies that I have seen several times and would watch over and over again. Singles is one of these movies. It just makes me feel good. I feel great after watching Singles. I'm not sure how much of a sentimental element is involved with my love of this movie (I lived in the Seattle area when the grunge scene and the movie broke out). All I know is that it helped me get through some of my tough single times like nothing else has. I loved the soundtrack, the setting, and the story line. The cast was perfect. This had a potential to turn off a lot of people by being "too cool" but it didn't. The characters were grounded, not over the top. As in all of Cameron Crowes movies, there are some lines that I'm sure I will always quote. It's kind of a shared secret amongst friends. This film really hasn't received the recognition it deserves, but that's okay. I think maybe I wouldn't like it as much if everyone else did. If you haven't seen it, by God spend a buck or two and rent it will you! One last thing: what the Hell happened to Campbell Scott? I was sure his career would take off.

Summary: quirky amusing and truthful insight into love
Review: I bought this video three years ago and still enjoy it. It is a quirky insight into the trials and tribulations of 90's relationships that are rarely touched upon. The dialogue is funny and if you have a friend who has seen it too, it becomes a sort of cult chit chat, Intellegent film too

Summary: I Am Obsessed!
Review: I cannot lie- this is my favorite movie of all time; the visual equivalent of my favorite comfort food or the security blanket of my childhood.Whenever I get stressed out or feeling miserable, especially on a rainy Sunday, I pop this baby in the VCR and settle in. I know that the Seattle grunge rock scene was way over when this movie was released, but Singles definitely presents a gently softened and filtered version of what a lot of artistic (or hoping to be artistic) and driven 20-somethings of the American persuasion go through. Faux grunge scene aside, Crowe effectively captures the "process" of growing up. The acting, of course, is excellent. Everyone nailed their characters perfectly, especially Matt Dillon, Bridget Fonda and Eric Stoltz as "that obnoxious mime." One quibble though- The Campbell Scott and Kyra Sedgwick characters both seem much older, physically and emotionally, than the 25 year olds they're supposed to be.

Summary: pretty good
Review: I don't know why I liked it. I just did. Its a comftorable kind of movie. its cool to see eddie vedder in this movie. he looks a little confused though. I only wish the movie focused more around Janet and Cliff though. doesn't anyone else think they were the most interesting couple? I don't know, I just think Matt Dillon's character is really funny. this movie makes me want to live in seattle during that time. chris cornell is just walking around like its no big deal and alice in chains are RIGHT there! its crazy. doesn't anyone else know how great those bands are? anyway, thats my review. If I had turned this into my journalism class I would have gotten an F but I think I'm getting my point across.

Summary: I thought love had to be based on something.
Review: I had always wanted to see this movie. An ex-girlfriend of mine and I always used to say we were going to watch it when we were together, but never did. That was maybe a year ago, and i just saw it for the first time tonight after long last. I really wish i hadn't seen it. You can get a gist of the plot from some of the other reviews, i'll just get into why this film was not good at all. The dialogue in this movie was awkward in most parts if not all. The only time things were really flowing was when Bike Dude was talking to that one girl's flatmate. The lack of good dialogue made it so that i didn't care what happened to any of the characters. If the two main people, I can't even remember their names, had never seen each other again, i wouldn't have really cared, becasue the awful dialogue never showed any kind of spark between the two of them. We are just supposed to see them having sex and assume that they are perfect for each other and so incredibly into one another. I never heard one bit of REAL romantic conversation during the movie. It was all short, clipped little phrases stuck together. I know that at the beginning of relationships, things are like that, awkward, but GEEZ! The two main characters, Steve and Linda, i think they're called, never had a moment that WASN'T awkward. If that was their relationship in its entirety, it was truly pathetic, and they didn't belong together because they couldn't even have normal conversations. There was no real action, apart from people bobbing their heads to grunge music while the band onstage tore it up occationally. The characters were left to pull the wieght of the film, and they were all basically transparent and one-dimentional. PAINFUL to watch. Awful editing job. Things just kind of rambled from one thing to the next.
I never got wind of a coherent theme, or moral, or anything that i could've learned from the movie... although the cameos were quite interesting. You'd see a person walk up next to Matt Dillon and HEY! it was Chris Cornell. That kept my attention. The one thing that really bugged me is that before i saw the movie, i heard the soundtrack and LOVED it. But then, in the movie, the have Chris Cornell singing "Seasons," an incredibly emotional song, and they have this vapid, colorless Steve walking down the sidewalk contemplating a boring relationship based off of sex and awkward conversation. It destroyed all the great music, to have such a piecemeal film constructed around it.

Summary: My favorite relationship movie of all time!
Review: I love this movie. I first watched it right after I turned 21 back in the early nineties and could completely identify with this film especially the part Bridget Fonda played. It reminded me of hanging out in rock clubs and falling for grunge musicians a lot like Cliff. This movie is definitely a time capsule of that time and place. Every time I watch it, I get sad and long to be back there. One thing I really loved about this movie was the way Cameron Crowe made the characters so believable. Everyone in the movie could have been any number of my friends and acquaintenances. He was able to capture the true world of dating in a way that was humorous. Yes, I've had horrible experiences with dating but they were funny in a way also. This movie reminds me of that. Each scene is so realistic that I found myself pointing at the screen and saying "I dated a guy like that!" I'm still single but I feel uplifted watching this film. I think it shows that it isn't so bad being single but also that you just never know when or where you will meet the right person. This is a great movie. One definitely worth buying.

Summary: Seattle Blues
Review: I loved this movie and have watched it over and over again. I am what you'd call an old-age rocker, but so what it! The movie makes me laugh and feel good about the characters and of myself at age 51! All the characters were so real and down to earth. After renting it for the 10th time I finally decided to purchase it today and add it to my library of most beloved movies. This movie will never collect dust. Why haven't these wonderful characters played in other movies? MISS CALLADINE

Summary: This is a must see movie!!
Review: I purchased this movie from Amazon.com because I couldn't find it anywhere else. The prospective that the director gives in this movie is excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Movies these days use grafic effects to make the movie, but this one is strictly by plot and prospective. Buy it, you'll like it!!

Summary: The best date movie I have seen
Review: I saw Singles when I lived in Miami in 92'. The movie struck a chord. I guess I was totally into the Seattle grunge thing which was very happening at that time. The soundtrack was among the best ever. Singles really bought out the beauty of Seattle and the problems 20 something's have in the dating seen. I was 20 and living in Miami when it came out and now I am 27 and living in Bombay India and not a lot has changed infact I appreciate the movie more now then I did 7 years back. A must see for confussed people like me
