Singles (DVD, 1999)

If you love Campbell Scott, you will love this movie. This is a wonderful movie about love, and relationships. Campbell Scott will melt your heart. Enjoy.

Love this film!!!!! The infancy of the grunge scene..set in Seattle...cool love story, amazing music performed by Alice and Chains.....Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam plays one of Matt Dillon's band members. Matt Dillon is hillarious as the simple minded, grunge singer that Bridgette Fonda falls in love with. Kyra Sedewick and Campbell Scott are awesome. This movie is funny and touching and set in Seattle!!! I moved there shortly after it was made...hmmm.....so cool.

I had this DVD stuck on my shelf for almost 5 years. I just watched it once, right after my purchase. Today I decided to choose one of my movies to revisit and this was my choice. I forgot how pleasant and entertaining this movie is.

"Singles" is a romantic comedy movie with the sound of Seattle rock scene of the 90's running in the background. Basically, this movie approaches the concept of love and relationships as it is for quite a long time. While some still appreciate relationships the old-fashioned way (sending flowers, calling the next day, being romantic and kind), others are more inclined to take things casually, in a more laid down way, without too much of a commitment. When couples (Linda/Steve and Janet/Cliff) that have each respective partner acting one of the both ways, it's hard to keep up and work things out and that's what the movie shows. Both couples split due to these differences and stay away from each other for a while, until they realize that they miss each other, and that is worth changing a little just to be with the one you really love.

As for the production, it's just fine for a romantic comedy. I miss those early 90s years, when Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden (whose members show up in the movie) used to be the soundtrack of my teenager years. I watched this movie without an eye blink or a pause and it is definitely worth your time and money. Very enjoyable. I deeply regret to have forgotten that I had this movie and that I left the DVD in the back of my shelf. Now, it is positioned in a much more privileged spot.

great movie, great actors, excellent soundtrack. It is a must to have in any collection.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT cast. Movie just OK. I bought this movie to watch Bridget Fonda, Kyra Sedgwick, Campbell Scott, Jeremy Piven, even Matt Dillon, HA! I also love the city of Seattle, which you get to see throughout the movie. I think that I would have enjoyed this movie more, back during my college days. Maybe I am just too mature now --- maybe?!

I have heard that the Singles dvd is very good. However i have not yet seen it. The story line of the Seattle grunge scene intrigues me. I have checked out the soundtrack listing for this movie and many of the songs on the cd, I must say i enjoy. So I am hoping that the movie does not let me down. Either way i will still enjoy it due to its music.

Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Eddie Vedder -
Great movie for ANY 90's music fan. I enjoyed
the scene where Alice in Chains were playing
in the bar best!!!

This movie is great and brings me back to the Grunge days of Alice and Chains, Pearl Jam and Sound Garden, which are in fact in the movie. I remember the days of being single. This story tells what it was like in those days and has a comedic twists to it.. This movie also has the character in Something about mary who dated Cameron diaz for awhile. I think this was one of his first movie that he star in. This is a great date movie. Not to much action, but has a great ending and plot.

This is one of those movies that you could watch 100 times and still be entertained. The cast is awesome, the music is awesome, the story line is awesome, the movie is AWESOME!

If you like Reality-bites-type movies than this one should work for you. For teens in the '90s this was a classic. Featuring many musicians from the Seattle music scene in the 1990's, including, Chris Cornell and Soundgarden, Many members of Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains. The soundtrack is also very good if you like these same bands. Young and grungy, it's full of mingled lovestories.

I had to buy this movie because it has a hilarious surprise appearance by Chris Cornell. I'm not referring to the scene where he performs singing in the club (although that was amusing too). There is a scene where Matt Dillon's character is attempting to win back his girlfriend (Bridget Fonda) by pimping out her crappy car with subwoofers in the trunk. The whole car basically blows up, and the expression on Chris Cornell's face is priceless. He doesn't even have any dialogue. He just wanders out of the apartment in the background, bobs his head to the music, makes a face, and then disappears just as you realize that it really is him! I wonder if Chris even remembers his bit part in this movie. It seems totally random. Does anyone else (Soundgarden fans!) remember this scene, or is it just me?

I can't tell you anything about it, because I NEVER RECEIVED THE ITEM FROM THE SELLER.
I have to file a lost item report and get full reimbursement for it.
