  Singles (1992)
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.
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.
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.

The romantic aspect of this movie is actually rather subtle, despite the focus on relationships, and it ends up being a rather comical portrait of hopeless single people trying to survive the shark tank that is dating.
The music dates this movie to the early 90’s, but it’s an era which to this day, is still one of the most prominent in music history, and definitely one of the best.
Singles has become the 'grunge' film by default, though truth be told that is really the backdrop to a tale of lovers in Seattle.

 Singles | Movie Review | Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman is a film critic for EW Singles, a disarmingly sweet- spirited comedy written and directed by Cameron Crowe, puts a new spin on the saga of boy meets girl.
In Singles, Crowe expands his focus to include six characters in their early to mid-20s, most of whom live in the same horseshoe-shaped apartment complex in Seattle, the new capital of middle-class bohemian chic.
Singles often comes close to being a television show (in a word, it's twentysomething), but it's a clever and infectious comedy of manners.

 Singles (movie) - Definition, explanation
Singles (1992) is a film set in in Seattle, Washington (in the north western USA), written and directed by Cameron Crowe.
The movie included music (and cameos) from key bands from the Seattle music scene of the time, such as Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and grunge favorite, Tad Doyle (lead vocalist of the Seattle bands Tad and Hog Molly).
The soundtrack is sometimes considered to have helped open the door to the explosive popularity of Seattle grunge music in the early 1990's, although Nirvana had their main success a year earlier with the multiplatinum record Nevermind.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Singles - Original Soundtrack at Epinions.com
Singles is probably the best soundtrack ever, period.
Some people may argue that some of the classic John Hughes 80s movies did the same, but not one of those really captured the essence of the era the way Fever did the 70s (and don't give me this Breakfast Club stuff, that was literally a one song soundtrack).
Singles is an essential album for any 90s rock fan.

 The Singles Ward (2002)
A new feature-length movie showcases the peculiarities of life in a typical singles ward and puts the adventures of dating under a humorous microscope.
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.
The profits from the movie, which was produced with a $500,000 budget, will be used to start a perpetual entertainment fund so other members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saintscan use it for their own shots at mass entertainment.

The Seattle music scene is the backdrop for this tale of single twentysomethings trying to find themselves and each other in the 1990s.
The delight in "Singles" is that the screenplay allows room for the characters to breathe and roam free based on their desires and emotions.
"Singles" is a wild, boisterous, smart, refreshingly simple and supremely entertaining take on the day-to-day basis in which twenty-year-olds live on their fears, their hopes, their agendas, their worries.

 Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Singles"
The meat of the movie comes from all the little tricks, games, and mysteries involved in being in your early adulthood and single.
I had to check to see which was made first, Clerks or Singles, because I was frequently reminded of the Kevin Smith-style dialogue in this flick, and I thought maybe a little scene stealing was going on.
The "french movie" metaphor is finally expanded upon, and the talking magazine scene is flat out hilarious.

The inter-related stories about each character's progress through the singles scene are intriguing and often very funny, and the soundtrack is a grunge fanatic's dream, with the likes of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Mudhoney.
For me, Bridget Fonda was the main draw at the time, as she received top billing and was on the movie posters with Matt Dillion.
Singles came out in the early 90's, a time that to me, was all about the grunge scene.

Though it is uneven in tone (especially the stilted dialogue in certain scenes-- the foreign student from Spain is a good example), it does have enough going for it to make it worth while, such as the affecting performances by Campbell Scott and Kyra Sedgwick.

All in all, "Singles" is a worthwhile film, filled with interesting bits of exposition on single life, and also watch out for Eric Stoltz as the mime who speaks, and Ally Walker ("Profiler") as Debbie's roommate.

 When a movie precedes the date - The Boston Globe
For the price of a regular movie ticket, singles were invited to show up an hour and a half before the featured film's viewing time for drinks, creative icebreaking games, and a chance to socialize.
Patty, 59, and Kerry Michaels, 27, a Cambridge mother-daughter team who enjoy hanging out together, decided to give meeting singles at a movie a try -- plus, mom is a sci-fi fan and "Alien Vs. Predator" was playing.
However, Patty Michaels declined playing the "Click" version of Spin the Bottle, in which singles stood in a circle, spun a vodka bottle, and, if pointed to, ended up handcuffed to the spinner for a trip to the "adult playhouse" -- a small room outfitted with cherries, a fl feather, and dice with suggestive comments.

"Singles" captures very well the horrors of the dating pool that confronts single men and women in modern society.
At its best, "Singles" is witty, bright and offers insights without a sledge hammer approach.
"Singles" is rated a fairly tame PG-13 for some profanity and graphic language; there is also a brief sex scene, brief nudity and violence (an auto accident).

Singles follows the tumultuous relationship between Steve and Linda and their friendship with Janet Livermore (Bridget Fonda), who is trying to win the affection of grunge-rocker Cliff Poncier (Matt Dillon).

I dont think we should treat this movie too seriously.Though this movie will inspire us and will remind us about how "cool" it is to be a Mormon,this is mainly a romantic comedy,its not necessary (at least in this movie) to include all the teachings of our church.
