This movie makes me wonder why I subject myself to romantic comedies when I know they're never as satisfying as you hope they will be. I watched TV after this and found myself thoroughly enjoying Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.

Pros:
Two measly songs are what saved me from rating this a lower score. I shouldn't call them measly. I love R.E.M. and Jimi Hendrix.
The premise behind this isn't bad.
One scene is actually pretty funny.

Cons:

Twenty-somthings that look like thirty-somethings behaving like forty-somethings. It's like a really long episode of Friends but without the funny bits.

Also I don't remember grunge being so poodle-rock.

When this was released it made my heart a flutter with the hipster Bridget Fonda. She was so cute and innocent, one couldn't help but love her. Blessed be the cheap seats, because I managed to see this movie about six times in the theater, just soaking in the music and the quirky Seattle scene. It was a benchmark for me in terms of music placement in a movie.

Sweet, but a bit dated. Love the Seattle band cameos.

The Seattle "Grunge" bands (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, etc.) are my favorite bands of all time, so it would be pretty hard for me not to enjoy a movie about that specific place at that specific time, not to mention FEATURES those bands prominently. But even beyond that, the film is funny, sweet, and honest in that way that Cameron Crowe does so well. It's not his best film, but it's worth seeing.

I had wanted to see this movie for a very long time, and it didn't let me down. A collection of interconnected love stories, it reminded me of "Love Actually". It was also fun to see something set in the Seattle grunge era. I loved it.

This ensemble rom com has a bit more depth than a lot of others in the same genre, but it's also not as *fun*. I didn't really care about most of the couples, even when I thought the themes were interesting. It was fine, but I'm not going to remember it a year from now.

I was nowhere near your neighbourhood

Oddly, it only gets better with age. I love every moment of this movie, and I miss the 90s so much. What a nasty hang.

All i basically remember at this point is the soundtrack.

Lately, I’ve been going through some of the seminal films that shaped my GenX young adulthood. And “shaped” they did. I never realized until now that some of “my” philosophies were lifted off these films, including cherished lines that underline my own drama, too. (Josh Charles’ speech about “equipment” in Andrew Fleming’s Threesome is a particular favorite.) I had no idea that Cameron Crowe’s Singles, from 1992, predicted so much of how I would live now — sans Seattle. And the video dating thing. Otherwise, I am Campbell Scott. And there are days and nights when I mumble things like, “Work. Work has never been better,” to soothe another broken heart — when all along all I want to do is hope for a miracle to be able to say something like, “What took you so long?”

Best. Soundtrack. Ever.
