	AML-List Review: The Singles Ward
		Singles Ward had a number of cameos by local celebrities, but for the most part, they were wasted.
		Yet this is a film that pokes fun at everything LDS -- right down to the schmaltzy tear-jerk climax that gets a delicious mocking -- and has a main character that's inactive and about as cynical towards the gospel as you can get without becoming meanspirited.
		Singles Ward was a film that should have been made, but it should have been made by people who know how to make a movie.

	Laughing at Ourselves: The Singles Ward Debuts
		Indeed, the film's theme deals with what a testimony is, how it is manifest, and what it does when challenged by reversals of fortune.
		Every Mormon character in the film is pushed to the limit of absurdity: the dweeb who aggressively seeking a mate with bluntness, the overly perky assertive female, the very holy Elders' Quorum president, and the list goes on and on...and on.
		While the film is intentionally light on doctrine or thought, it does have it's moments of reflection and poignancy.

	Singles (KOREA 2003)
		Although the film is certainly plotted, there's the sense that it's trying to provide "a slice of life" in presenting its tale of four very different, but connected souls.
		The film's implicit open-endedness along with the fact that two propose to remain friends leaves the door open for more interaction between the two, but sadly, that story is not present in Singles.
		Certainly the film would have benefited immensely from not putting so much weight on Na Nan and her fateful decision (which isn't that surprising), and split its focus more evenly among its four cast members.

	Meridian Magazine :: Arts :The R.M. Shows Improvement - 2.5 Stars
		The R.M. is not a sequel to The Singles Ward.
		The Singles Ward was simply stuffed with cameos of LDS celebrities, and a number of the jokes in the film could only be understood if you recognized that celebrity.
		As much as The Singles Ward was trashed for its amateur use of cameos as jokes, it lent a kind of charm to the film that I think those in its intended audience actually enjoyed.

	DVD Times - Singles
		His films are almost entirely driven by his screenplays; his direction is certainly very competent, but it doesn’t shape the material rather than simply illustrate it.
		Singles is a transitional work, certainly flawed but at best very enjoyable, a time capsule for its era, and an engaging romantic comedy that doesn’t insult your intelligence.
		Singles is certainly an entertaining, warm romantic comedy that’s worth your time but somehow, and frustratingly, isn’t quite as good as it should be.

	The Singles Ward
		As a frequent vociferous critic of religious films, this reviewer enjoys watching them because they are usually so sub-par.
		However, one should not that is film was not made for an audience other than that of the Mormon church, which may be one reason why it is more enjoyable.
		As genre, it tends to be stale and formulaic, and The Singles Ward follows the typical story arc and has the same types of characters as the entire genre, with the notable exception that almost everybody is Mormon.

	‘Singles’ (PG-13)
		In fact, the horseshoe-shaped building's courtyard is more crucial to the film than the Seattle clubs; if this were television, the movie's title would undoubtedly be these singles' address.
		"Singles" is a familiar boys-meet-girls, boys-lose-girls story, focusing on two couples and several unattended pals whose lives are interwoven in ever-evolving ways.
		But although these singles are looking for a doubles match, they seem to be fighting the mating game every step of the way.

		The film is about a five single people trying to find love in the backdrop of the burgeoning Seattle music scene that was crawling from great bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains to lesser-known acts like Mother Love Bone, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, and Tad.
		The film begins with a look at people in Seattle going to grunge concerts and everything as it begins with a woman named Linda (Kyra Sedgwick) who is trying to get on with her life after having a passionate relationship with a Spaniard who ends up cheating on her.
		The film is filled with great music that is always selected by Crowe that also includes a song from the Smashing Pumpkins and two older Seattle acts, Jimi Hendrix and the Ann/Nancy Wilson Heart-side project the Lovemongers doing a great cover of Led Zeppelin’s “The Battle Of Evermore”.

	Singles Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		Kwon Chil-in's 2003 film "Singles", which recently enjoyed a North American DVD release, is a droll look at this tug of war through the eyes of its almost-30 heroine, Na-nan (Jang Jin-young of "Scent of Love" and "The Foul King").
		As the film's lead, Jang delivers a bubbly and off-the-wall performance that carries the picture, and she is ably supported by the scene-stealing Eom.
		Though "Singles" is hardly the first Korean film to look at the relationships of modern Korean women who are a little older than the traditional 'marrying age', it has probably become the most well-known, earning it the moniker of South Korea's answer to "Sex and the City".

	Amazon.com: Singles (1992) (1992) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This film has it all...great music suitable to the period (grunge/alternative), fantastic use of place (Seattle in a starring role), interesting and quirky characters, and true to life portrayal of young people in their twenties negotiating through life as they find their true passions.
		This film is so ingrained into the grunge culture of Seattle of the early 1990s, that future audiences could use a lot of background info a director's commentary would provide.
		Singles came out in the early 90's, a time that to me, was all about the grunge scene.

	Husbands and Wives, Singles explore relationships
		Allen may have anticipated this criticism, because he provides an excuse late in the film: After Gabe lends Rain a manuscript of the novel which he is working on, she tells him that all of his characters are hyperbolic stereotypes, and Gabe counters that he merely exaggerated for comic effect.
		The scariest scene of the film, involving a drunken Jack violently dragging Sam out of a party where she embarrassed him, was written chiefly for laughs.
		Cameron Crowe's Singles is a film that sharply contrasts Husbands and Wives' attitudes.

		Their neighbor Steve (the film's most interesting character, played by Campbell Scott) is one of these nice guys who believes in true love and has trouble playing games.
		This is not a bad film, but I think it would be more involving if it focused on a single love story.
		"Singles" still isn't as great as Say Anything and Campbell Scott can't top John Cusack as Lloyd Dobbler, but we're still in that ballpark of brilliant dialogue, killer musical cues and hilarious comic beats.

		Filming, which is expected to wrap up this month, will continue in Orem through next week and then the crew will be shooting in Johnny B's Comedy Club in Provo, the Salt Lake City airport, and a church house in Wallsburg.
		Singles Ward is an insightful and clever comedy focusing on the unique cultural experiences of a Mormon Singles Ward.
		The comedic look at life as a single religious person is designed to be a classic film that every adult on the market would want in his or her library, screenwriter John Moyer said.

		Singles, more slight but funnier than Say Anything, continues Crowe's fascination with young people and their relationships with one another.
		About the importance of the music to the film, Bramson added, "I think music is obviously a part of our everyday life, whether it's as common as a musical association with a particular event, time, or place, or it's something to carry you through the day...

		But there's rich compensation to be found amid the aspirations of six love-hungry hopefuls as they explore Seattle's singles scene.
		Writer-director Crowe suffuses the film with tender humour and affection as the characters, most of them living in the same apartment block, swap stories, ponder sexual come-ons where none exist, and remain resolute in the face of emotional horrors.
		Pearl Jam, Mudhoney and Soundgarden contribute to the soundtrack, and the film's tone couldn't be sweeter.

		The film is presented in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and is 16x9 enhanced.
		As the film is set in the throes of the grunge revolution, most of the clothes that the characters wear are very drab and dark with no colours that are capable of jumping off the screen.
		Later on in the film there are other titles that appear, and it seems as if the problem was rectified because these titles are solid as a rock.
