Storyline

Romantic comedy about six of Seattle's young people, most of whom live in the same apartment building and whose lives revolve around the city's ever-expanding music scene. 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.

Quotes

Linda Powell: So, who are your neighbors?
Steve Dunne: That's Bailey, right there. He's a maitre d', he keeps us all in free meals. On the corner there, that's Debbie Hunt. She actually consumes men instead of food. And that is Cliff. He delivers flowers, has four jobs, works in the coffee shop around the corner. Upstairs is Janet Livermore. She works there too. She's saving up for architecture schooI. Cliff and Janet... That's it.
Linda Powell: You sound like me, talking about my family.

User Reviews

Cute, funny and sincere...

1st watched 11/14/2004 - 7 out of 10(Dir-Cameron Crowe): Cute, funny and sincere attempt to chronicle a singles life in the 90's in Seattle. What I liked about this movie is that all the single people know that they need "someone", which is the constant struggle that goes on in their lives, but finding that "someone" isn't as easy as we think it would be. This movie does a good job of showing this. It is well-written, funny, played out well by the stars and has a nice soundtrack to fill in the voids.

It's about "people" and it has a style like a chronicled life where the characters every once in a while talk to the camera as if their lives are being documented. Excellent effort by Crowe and his crew to bring this segment of society into view for all of us.
