MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Edgar Soberon Torchia I saw «Singles» the same weekend that I had to watch «Prelude to a Kiss». After seeing Norman René's flat "comedy", the little enthusiasm I had was killed by Cameron Crowe's movie, which promised an updated portrait of the world of single persons. But this film of the 1990s was not very different from those comedies of the 1960s in which Rock Hudson wooed Doris Day, whose friend Edie Adams would end up in the arms of Tony Randall (Hudson's best friend), whose ex-wife Audrey Meadows, after dating several men, met her match in Gig Young, Randall's professional rival. And so it went. But not even the soundtrack, filled with rock numbers, could hid that it was an outdated formula. «Singles» is a series of anecdotes around five protagonists (Matt Dillon, Bridget Fonda, Sheila Kelley, Scott Campbell, Kyra Sedgwick) with no sociological interest (was it a novelty to show that heterosexuals were as promiscuous as those with different sexual orientations?) Neither did it do anything for the anemic state of the 1990s American comedy. Dramatically, the script accumulated adversities that forced the limit of credibility: for example, in less than 15 minutes, Scott participates in an accident in which his girlfriend suffers a miscarriage, his professional project fails, his work cubicle falls apart, he separates from Sedgwick and becomes a hermit. But, of course, in the end Kyra and Campbell were reunited, Bridget and Matt reconciled, and Sheila found the "father of her children". By then, boredom presided over the projection.

Kirpianuscus as admirer of Campbell Scott, it is difficult to not be fan of this lovely film. who, more than seductive, remains an admirable exercise of honesty , portrait of an age and spiritual/wise analysis of relations between people. in the era of Peter Pan syndrome, this film is a must see. for the characters and for definition of love. for the atmosphere and for the last traces of the spirit of "80 decade. for the humor and for the performances and for the dialogues. for a kind of...spell. because it is a simple, realistic film about friendship and about the perception of the other about you, about the words as not the best tools for define feelings, for the line between teenager and adult life, for the forms of honesty. and, sure, for remember episodes from yours life.

haildevilman This was a 90's version of all those high school films in the 80's some of us are old enough to remember.We deliberately date the film and tap into the grunge era of Seattle. When done on purpose....it can be done very well. This was. We see the baggy shorts and layered flannel on the guys, the leggings and quirky hats on the girls, and the disheveled hair on both. But funnily enough, this flick was in production BEFORE that scene took off. As a result what seemed like cashing in was actually foresight.The relationships unfolding in the apartment complex were done realistically and the scenes involving the band will be enjoyed by anyone into that era's music. And Campbell Scott almost steals this film. His idea for the city was actually a good one.And yes that is 3 members of Pearl Jam as Matt Dillons backup band. And see if you can spot Chris "Soundgarden" Cornell coming out to watch Matt show off his new car speakers.So 90's. But very enjoyable.

David Clark This movie has an awesome soundtrack featuring the who's who of the 1990s grunge scene. It even has a cameo by the band Pearl Jam, or Mother Love Bone depending on your frame of reference. There is also a pivotal scene featuring John Coltrane's Lush Life album. Set in Seattle it tells the story of neighbors in an apartment building and their various lives as they seek love. Matt Dillon, Kyra Sedgwick and Campbell Scott give excellent performances. This movie is hilarious moments (SpaM) and touching romance ("I was just nowhere near...") and speaks to professional idealism (the train) and dating (popcorn) and passion (I love how the world looks from a bicycle). This is one of a handful of movies that I have ever watched more than once (another being the Princess Bride). Do yourself a favor and check it out.
