What to Know

Critics Consensus

Smart, funny, and engagingly scruffy, Singles is a clear-eyed look at modern romance that doubles as a credible grunge-era time capsule.

Noel Murray The Dissolve It's like a catalog of everything Crowe had to offer back in the early 1990s, from detailed evocations of place and time to the characters' pronouncements about popular culture. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 6, 2015 Full Review John Hartl Seattle Times This is one happy-ending romance that doesn't feel forced. You can't help getting into the spirit of it. Rated: 3.5/4 May 19, 2014 Full Review Terrence Rafferty The New Yorker This is romantic comedy of the wispiest kind, but the picture is generous, graceful, and consistently funny. May 19, 2014 Full Review Bob Shelton Birmingham Post This is a warm and witty piece for the young about the young. Sep 26, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a reasonably memorable romcom... Rated: 3/4 Oct 17, 2021 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant For all of the director-writer's hipness, there isn't much life in Singles, a wearying if occasionally witty look at life after college in the troubling years of twentysomething.

Pedro L If there ever was a movie that captures the feel of a specific time in history, it was this one. I spent many, many weekends in college watching it over and over. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Ravenswood R Rom Com Alert. Has some funny scenes, but not many. Instead of going for funniness, it leans very heavily into a strained romance between two pleasant, but boring, dull, and unadventurous characters. Side stories that had the potential to be funny or better are totally underdeveloped and just kind of sit in the margins. Dated, obviously, and this was not a realistic portrayal of the scene in Seattle at the time. It really looks fake now. It's light and kind of wholesome overall. Fun to watch the street scenes shot on location. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review James B i liked this movie. the cameos from alice in chains and soundgarden were great. the car stereo gone bad scene with matt dillion and chris cornell was cool. bridget fonda was great in this film she was my favorite character too bad she doesnt act anymore. i loved the soundtrack and the characters and seattle setting were great. i highly recommend this film it can be slow at times but i liked the ending the matt dillion bridget fonda relationship was more interesting than the other one in film. see this film if you like romantic comedies interesting film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Dean E Another overrated Cameron Crowe movie that goes nowhere and is completelly dull. Kyra Sedgwick is a Tom Cruise actor, nothing but smiles; irritating. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review david f This is both a fine romantic comedy from the golden age of romantic comedies, and a great nostalgia trip back to the early ‘90s and back to the early ‘90s in Seattle, home of grunge rock and the accompanying subculture. With cameos from the likes of Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and airborne shots of the Space Needle this film nails it as far as setting goes. The characters are lovably eccentric as they try out a variety of dating experiences (like video dating, if you can believe that). Just an all around fun movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review james b One of my favorite movies from the '90s. Pretty much love everything about it... Great cast, great soundtrack, great movie... Always love to watch this every so often and remember that early '90s era. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
