This is a warm and witty piece for the young about the young.

...a reasonably memorable romcom...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 17, 2021

For all of the director-writer's hipness, there isn't much life in Singles, a wearying if occasionally witty look at life after college in the troubling years of twentysomething.

| May 29, 2018

Classic '90s romcom with great soundtrack; sex, cursing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 30, 2017

It's like a catalog of everything Crowe had to offer back in the early 1990s, from detailed evocations of place and time to the characters' pronouncements about popular culture.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 6, 2015

This is one happy-ending romance that doesn't feel forced. You can't help getting into the spirit of it.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 19, 2014

This is romantic comedy of the wispiest kind, but the picture is generous, graceful, and consistently funny.

| May 19, 2014

There's a genial untidiness about Singles, but it's unified by Crowe's affection for his characters, and by the terrific Paul Westerberg music track, which plays like a pulse-beat to these people's lives.

| May 19, 2014

There is something new here, and very fresh.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 19, 2014

Crowe doesn't add much to the general discussion, but he's assembled an attractive cast and seems to have a genuine affection for the young people on the screen.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 19, 2014

Crowe's movie is like a great record album: the songs connect, and the people connect, too.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 19, 2014

Infernally precious.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 19, 2014

Crowe's script relies for humor on such puerile notions as the supposed similarity between the words Spam and sperm, and such dullard's epigrams as "It's better to be the dumper than the dumpee."

| May 19, 2014

Crowe's greatest strength is the way he focuses on those smaller moments in life that are rarely reflected in movies.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 19, 2014

No matter your age, you will warm to the young men and women in Singles who are striving to find their balance in the pleasant ambiance of Seattle.

| May 19, 2014

Nobody's saying it's perfect, but it is hugely entertaining, a warm-yet-honest look at sex, love and relationships set against the growth of Seattle's grunge scene.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2010

Singles may aspire to be a Big Chill from Seattle, but it is really a fizzled St. Elmo's Fire with rowdier music.

| Aug 20, 2010

The film is stirred with humour and affection while achieving a pleasing blend of the city's caf and grunge cultures.

| Aug 20, 2010

Funny and well-observed and, most notably, plays to its audience's intelligence rather than its libido.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 20, 2010

So lightweight that you're likely to start forgetting it before it's even over.
