Forced myself to watch the first half hour. Soundtrack was awesome but actors and dialogue were pathetic.

I've got a soft spot for this one--whether it's the great music, the absolutely ridiculous Matt Dillon character, or the enjoyable Pearl Jam cameo, it still gets to me after all these years. This is not high art by any stretch. However, its earnestness about the need for trust to make relationships work, combined with the dimwitted Dillon character, make this a most enjoyable watch every time it's on.

Everybody in my high school loved this movie, except me. I found it to be quite shallow and pedantic.

The music was good. The story itself was blah. An interesting point made by my date... Kyra Sedgwick looked like she could have played Scott's mom instead of his girlfriend. There were small parts that were good, but I just didn't find it to be as interesting as I thought I would. Had a hard time believing Matt Dillon as the rocker dude. I do now have a new sneezing joke to use on my friends for the future, so that's cool.

I liked this back in high school; does it hold up?

Very 80's but tell the same old story about singles and relationships.

This movie spoke to me at the time but now I can see it was just a pretty shallow romcom pushed out by Warner's to cash in on the grunge trend. See if you can spot Paul Giamatti in a funny bit part.

This Seattle-based, soundtrack-driven package of interwowen lightweight love stories is a fine evidence of Crowe's main skills and failures: he's knows how to deal with his male characters, their anguishes, desires and fears -- like Alex Payne --, but gets lost when he needs to put these things together in a decent and well-organized story -- unlike Alex Payne.

great music, love the era... but disappointingly this movie sucks. It's boring, and you never seem to care or have any sympathy for the characters. Shallow as hell.

Enjoyable enough romantic comedy raised up by a killer soundtrack.

There was good, even hilarious scenes and I laughed a lot in them. But the main plot and stories themselves were pretty draggy and overall not that interesting.

have avague recollection of having watched the entirety of this
