But here they’re all still young and flannel-y and full of hope—and nobody needs an app for that.

Mr. Crowe (who wrote "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and directed "Say Anything") has an exceptional ability to enjoy such characters without a trace of condescension

Singles is a bright and beautiful piffle about love American-style, junior division.

Crowe and his movie leave you with a good and generous feeling. As the Matt Dillon character might say, it's a pretty good hang. [18 Sept 1992, p.C1]

A pleasant mix of quiet comedy and sweet romance born of a sharp eye for contemporary mores. [10 Sept 1992]

Singles is never dull; Crowe keeps the pace moving with gimmicky devices such as direct address, flashbacks and catchy title frames to introduce new segments. The result is a chummy movie about a group of singles hurtling toward a fairy-tale ending. It's pleasant enough, but fans of Crowe will probably crave more. [18 Sept 1992, p.G5]

Sometimes it works, but more often than not, it's just cute. In the editing, the characters, general style and attitude, Crowe seems to have drawn heavily from Slacker for inspiration, but in his insecure reliance on traditional narrative and Hollywood convention, he undermines his more interesting experimentations. As a result, Singles winds up being a date movie with pretensions.

En principio una propuesta de romances sosos e idealistas por parte de jóvenes veinteañeros en búsqueda de encontrar un lugar en el mundo de Seattle a principios de los 1990's. Finalmente una muestra del idealismo y esperanza que todavía aquella generación tenía para un mundo que ya en esa época comenzaba a desmoronarse en cuanto a las relaciones de pareja. Lo fuerte acá es la capacidad de ser una cápsula del tiempo para lo que muestra y la fuerte representación de la movida "grunge" en Seattle en aquel entonces. Esta es la clásica película que te saca una sonrisa si es que todo ese contexto representado te genera interés o sabes algo al respecto, ya seas fanático de la música "grunge" o la década de 1990's en Estados Unidos. Mucho más allá tampoco la película prentede ser, en cierta forma la inocencia que todavía quedaba y que se buscaba retratar es la misma que la limita y le impide llegar a mostrar lo que ya el "grunge" en sus letras mostraba sobre aquella sociedad como por ejemplo las drogas, las relaciones disfuncionales, la drepesión, etc. Buena película pero con las luces justas.
