A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Director Cameron Crowe received much attention for the Oscar-winning Jerry Maguire starring Tom Cruise. But the former rock journalist - he wrote Fast Times at Ridgemont High based on his own experiences - had already made an equally interesting romantic comedy with this wonderfully funny look at love among Seattle's 20-somethings. Matt Dillon is the self-centred grunge rocker in love with Bridget Fonda, while Campbell Scott and Kyra Sedgwick are the couple too scared of commitment because of past experiences. They head an exemplary cast involved in the sort of dating rituals that recall the acerbic wit of early Woody Allen, but appealingly countered with a knowing and touching sweetness. Crowe's greatest strength is the way he focuses on those smaller moments in life that are rarely reflected in movies. Look out for cameos from Fonda's real-life partner Eric Stoltz (as a mime artist) and Mars Attacks! director Tim Burton (playing the director of a dating tape).
