Avis à la une
Cameron Crowe is one of those directors that thrive on making the little moments in movies the most memorable ones you'll ever see in your life. In 'Almost Famous,' it was when everyone on the Stillwater tour bus was singing along to "Tiny Dancer." In 'Say Anything...' it was when Lloyd was driving around and proclaimed how his heart was exchanged for Diane's pen. Crowe also creates many memorable little moments in 'Singles,' which may not be the most famous movie he's made but it's one of the best.
Even though 'Singles' is about twenty-somethings in Seattle, everything rang true to me as I am now, a teenager. The film is honest and real in how couples become couples and how relationships can fall apart. 'Singles' isn't at all mean-spirited or depressing in its portrayal of relationships or the dating game, so it might turn some people off who want to see the extremely ugly confrontations (a la 'Closer'). But the moments in 'Singles' that make it worth watching are when Linda (Kyra Sedgewick) gets to know Steve (Campbell Scott) while going through his record collection in his apartment. Or when Janet (Bridget Fonda) sneezes and gets a "bless you" from someone she (and the audience) would least expect.
Everything about 'Singles' is great. The cast, the music and the truth behind the movie will bring a smile to your face.

If you lived it, you love it. If not, you try to appreciate and judge if not willing. This captures the magic of a time and a city, and mostly the magic that Nirvana brought forth.
This movie was so much more like TV sitcom "friends" than "sex and the city", i mean, it makes you approach to people in their early 20s on a different level than just sex. Boy!!! would i like to have seen more of Campbell Scott & kyra Sedgwick. i mean, they have so much chemistry that you just wish you could be part of them. Scott began his career with very big promise (with this, longtime companion, the sheltering sky and dying young) but without you even noticing, he became a indie dude that chose the worst roles in the worst indie movies (at least, until secret lives of dentist) and there's a big talent wasted. Kyra Sedgwick's on a similar position (great beginning with born on 4th of July and something to talk about and then...just dissapearing into shi**y roles).Bridget Fonda achieves yet another great performance of her early career (along with single white female and Jackie brown) and shows she can be so sexy without being the classic boob-blonde girl. Cameron crowe, well, i would do a standing ovation if i ever get to meet him. he made a great movie, and practically, a gen-x classic. good for you.
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.

1st watched 11/14/2004 - 7 out of 10(Dir-Cameron Crowe): Cute, funny and sincere attempt to chronicle a singles life in the 90's in Seattle. What I liked about this movie is that all the single people know that they need "someone", which is the constant struggle that goes on in their lives, but finding that "someone" isn't as easy as we think it would be. This movie does a good job of showing this. It is well-written, funny, played out well by the stars and has a nice soundtrack to fill in the voids.
It's about "people" and it has a style like a chronicled life where the characters every once in a while talk to the camera as if their lives are being documented. Excellent effort by Crowe and his crew to bring this segment of society into view for all of us.

- AnecdotesBased on a script that Cameron Crowe originally wrote in 1984, which took place in Phoenix, Arizona. After Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Seattle bands Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone, died of a drug overdose in March 1990, Crowe noticed the music community in Seattle coming together to process the loss. He rewrote his script with the incident in mind, changing its setting to Seattle, which had been the location of his previous movie, Un monde pour nous (1989), which featured a song from Mother Love Bone in the soundtrack, "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" - the same song is on the 'Singles' soundtrack.
- GaffesDebbie's frantic bike ride on her video date has her darting all over the city. She starts at the first restaurant at the end of lake union. To get to the second restaurant on first avenue downtown, she circles all the way around to Waterfront park on the Sound. After leaving the second restaurant, she crosses a draw bridge over the ship canal, only to suddenly end up back downtown near post alley and first avenue (where she just left the second restaurant). After getting a flat tire, she finally walks all the way home to the apartment on Capitol Hill (nearly 2 miles away).

- Versions alternativesThe Blu-ray has the 2003 Warner Bros. Pictures logo at the beginning of the movie. The YouTube version retains the plaster but also included its accompanying fanfare which in-turn cut the first few seconds of the song "Waiting for Somebody".
