A look back at the movie Singles

Personally I thought this movie was a weak-ass attempt at profitting from the current music trend. Storyline was dwarfed by the soundtrack.

After his success with a flurry of teen based movies, Cameron Crowe decided to move up a notch and look at the trials and tribulations of dating in your 20s in big city Seattle, which was going though a change in itself as the grunge movement was just set to explode and change the face of music as it was known.

Arranged in episodes rather than the normal non-stop film narrative, Singles focuses on a group of friends who live in the same building and hang out in the local coffeehouse. The central story focuses on Steve (Campbell Scott) and Linda (Kyra Sedgwick) who, after meeting at an Alice in Chains concert, fall in love and deal with the highs and lows of being in a relationship and dealing with the commitment that entails.
