Singles Reviews
Singles well worth multiple viewings!
Singles came out in the early 90's, a time that to me, was all about the grunge scene. I was in high school then so this was the norm for us all. But as I got older, I never outgrew Singles. In fact, I think I began to relate to it even more as I gained more life experience. Anyway, here is a wonderful comedy that offers us all a glimmer of hope in this overpopulated world. We meet a group of friends who are various tennants in the same apartment building in Seattle. Singles centers around Cliff (Dillon) a struggling musician, his girlfriend Janet (Fonda) who has put Cliff's needs before her own for the last time, Linda (Sedgwick) who thinks she's found "the one" until she discovers him in a bar with another girl when he told her he was going back to Spain, Steve (Scott) who spent his dating career playing the field, and Debbie (Kelley) who searches for Mr. Right via video dating service (oh-so hilarious). The main story is about Linda & Steve meeting and the relationship that blossoms from it. If you were a big fan of grunge when it was popular you'll fall in love with Singles (with bands like Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, and even Alice in Chains featured). Many funny moments abound (this shouldn't spoil anything for you should you be the 1 person left in Wyoming or something who hasn't seen this movie) including a run-in with a pessimistic mime (played by Eric Stoltz), Debbie's dating video and Steve's story about learning about sex as a child, but that's about all I can say without giving it all away. And for a price this low, Singles is a steal as it is something you will watch again and again and again.
Pretty Good
"Singles" is written & directed by Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, and Vanilla Sky) and features an all-star cast including Matt Dillon,
Bridget Fonda, Kyra Sedgwick, and Bill Pullman. The film also features Chris Cornell (formerly of Soundgarden, currently of Audioslave) and the members of Pearl Jam (Eddie Vedder & Co.). The film follows several stories; One is about Cliff (Dillon) the lead singer of Seattle band Citizen Dick. Cliff is under the impression that he's a rock god (the members of Pearl Jam are his band with Eddie Vedder on drums) and is worshipped by his neighbor Janet (Fonda). Meanwhile we follow the story of Linda (Sedgwick) who has had enough of guys and decides to stay single until she meets Steve (Campbell Scott). It's an awesome movie for anyone who dug the Seattle grunge scence; The soundtrack rocks, featuring songs by Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, The Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains,
The Lovemongers, etc. The movie is well acted, Fonda is hot; Dillon is very cool and funny. The movie is well written and very entertaining. A few parts of the film fall short; but other than that. Don't pass it up. B+
