Trivia:
Contrary to popular belief, the film was already well underway when the celebrated "Seattle sound" became popular, rather than being designed as a vehicle to capitalize on its popularity. In fact, this film was supposed to begin production in 1984, right after The Wild Life (1984) but the project was delayed.

Singles was made during the height of the grunge years, the early 90's youth's attempt to be profound. Aside from sounding like neo-hippies, those years did produce some gnarley music and strange fashions.
Set in the birthplace of Grunge, Seattle Washington, the film follows several twenty-somethings attempt to find love. Bridget Fonda is Janet, is a self-doubting young woman who is hopelessly trying to get the attention of the clueless multi-employed singer, Cliff (Matt Dillon). Debbie (Shelia Kelley) is so desperate for a relationship, she seeks to find that lasting relationship with a horrible video dating service.
Unfortunately, some of the character's doubts about their relationships comes from trying too hard to go by some previously established, understood rules of dating. Such is the initial problem between Linda (Kyra Sedwick) and Steve (Campbell Scott). Notice his opening pick up line. And they are really the main characters in the story, trying to dodge any obstacles that might screw up the chances for this relationship because this could be The One. The entire dating plot becomes rather self-indulgent, though the more entertaining one is between Janet and Cliff, since Cliff is such an oblivious moron.
And, what is an early 90s Seattle-based movie without some music? This movie is partly advertised for it's soundtrack, which features Pearl Jam (the gorgeous Eddie Vedder and bassist Jeff Ahmet of Pearl Jam appear in several scenes as accompanying musicians in Cliff's band, Citizen Dick). Soundgarden has a stage scene as does Alice in Chains. They picked the creme of the crop of Seattle Grunge (but where's Nirvana?) to add some flavor to this somewhat lackluster movie. I've never been much a fan of Cameron Crowe films, anyways, which I think are often overrated (see Vanilla Sky). If for nothing else, I'd highly recommend it for fans of the Grunge Days because this is really a page from the Grunge Diaries.
