Irishchatter Honestly, they added in too much characters in this film that I can't hardly concentrate on who we are looking at here. I was concentrating on the first girl who was cheated on by her new boyfriend from France, then there's this girl who is head over heels with her rocker boyfriend and then it became messy with adding more people to the story one after the other. Seriously, can't they give my head a clear mind for a moment please? This film is just pure messy, I wish they just concentrated on the people at the beginning and then maybe, I would give this movie a rating of 8/10 instead of 2/10??! I haven't got any more comments for this film, it is just plain bad and I don't consider this the best movie of 1992!

Harshit Sahay After the success of Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Say Anything, this movie looks like the next logical step for Cameron Crowe. Exploring the world of dating for 20 somethings in the 90s, this flick works really well by not going down the trodden part of establishing a drama and a solution, but rather letting the narrative flow be determined by the character's lives in a way that doesn't seem forced. With a nice cast of lovable and ratable characters, this makes for a good one time watch, with a nice sprinkling of humour and period pieces. The struggle during making a romcom often is to avoid being cheesy and yet manage to induce a happy feeling in the viewer, which this movie achieves.

Mr-Fusion "Singles" plays out like a love letter to . . . pretty much everything early '90s: grunge, Seattle, Gen Xers, coffee, twenty-somethings grappling with love and responsibility, grunge. It's a movie that feels like it's trying to capture the zeitgeist - but I wasn't there, what do I know? But there's a cloying sweetness to most of this that's a complete turnoff. Maybe it really does boil down to "you had to be there", which would be why I can' relate to most of his (or these people). I did like hearing "State of Love and Trust", if only for 30 seconds. And there's an array of amusing cameos throughout.But I'm not apart of this movie's audience.4/10

rooprect In the 80s, three directors perfectly captured the comedy of young American growing pains. These directors are John Hughes ("Sixteen Candles", "Breakfast Club", "Ferris Buehler"), Savage Steve Holland ("Better Off Dead") and Cameron Crowe ("Say Anything"). All of these films are characterized by witty, tongue-in-cheek dialogue (satirical but not sarcastic) and surreal, music-video-like gags such as, I dunno, a pigburger patty grabbing a guitar and rocking out to Van Halen's "Everybody Wants Some".When the 80s ended, apparently so did their unique and idiosyncratic brand of humour. John Hughes stopped directing in 91, and Savage Steve's last feature film was also in 91. Cameron Crowe evolved into a different style with his hugely successful 30-something comedy "Jerry Maguire". Here, folks, in 1992 I believe we have the last (and possibly best) of the great 80s growing-up films. If you've seen the others I mentioned, don't consider your life complete until you see "Singles".Even with Crowe's 1989 "Say Anything", focusing on high school graduation, Crowe was the most mature of the bunch yet every bit as quirky and hilarious. "Singles" covers the next age, 23-to-27, establishing careers and facing grown up problems but still as wild and emotionally reckless as high school kids. I suppose some of us carry that same crazy recklessness late into life which is what makes this movie great for oddballs of all ages.The movie is perfectly cast with Cambell Scott in the lead (think John Cusack but a sharper dresser), Kyra Sedgwick as a slightly flakey control freak (maybe an early version of Tina Fey in "30 Rock"), and a host of awesome supporting characters: Bridget Fonda as the slightly neurotic groupie who refuses to admit that she's a groupie, Sheila Kelley (remember the hot paralegal in LA Law?) who plays a goofy, insecure maneater, Eric Stoltz (Caprica, Pulp Fiction, The Prophecy) in the oddest role he's ever played: an obnoxious mime who won't shut up, and of course the show-stealer Matt Dillon as the not-so-bright artist/rockstar whose magnum opus is a song called "Touch Me, I'm Dick".Speaking of rock music, cameo appearances, as well as performances, include... are you paying attention, folks...?Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard from Pearl JamChris Cornell and the gang from SoundgardenThomas Doyle singer for TAD ("You got the wrong number, lady, but I'll be right over")Pat Nizzio singer for The SmithereensEveryone from Alice in ChainsJeremy Piven (Ari Gold in Entourage) as the funniest checkout clerk you've ever seenBill Pullman as a nerdy breast implant surgeonPaul Giamatti in one of his first speaking roles ever ("What?!!")Cameron Crowe's motherand none other than director TIM BURTON as Bryan the next Martin Scorcese (pronounced "Score-seeez" haha)And if that's not enough to make you want to rush out and rent this movie, don't forget the killer soundtrack with tunes by the aforementioned bands plus Jane's Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins, Paul Westerberg (The Replacements) and others I'm probably forgetting.The story itself is fantastic, not only hilarious but probably the most insightful peek into romance disorder since "When Harry Met Sally". This comedy has it all. See it, see it again. Live it. And praise the gods of 80s comedy that we were given this final masterpiece of a bygone era.
