Member Rating:  
This film was one of the more mainstream offerings in the array of films that emphasized the overly hyped "Generation X" phenomenon, a list that ranges from Slacker to Singles and includes a host of other films. Winona Ryder stars as Lelaina, a recent college graduate. Out on her own and independent from her supportive, but out-of-touch parents, Lelaina faces the realities of careers and relationships. She can't stand her internship under a local television personality (John Mahoney), and she's forced to choose between Michael (Ben Stiller), a well-intentioned music-video network executive, and Troy (Ethan Hawke), a brooding, sensitive slacker. Meanwhile, she must also protect the artistic integrity of "Reality Bites," a video documentary that depicts the everyday lives of her friends (Hawke, Janeane Garofalo, and Steve Zahn). This 1994 release also marks the feature directorial debut of Ben Stiller. ~ Jonathan E. Laxamana, Rovi

I'll never get that 1.75 hours of my life back. It was boring, not funny, kind of predicatable, and depressing. I thought this movie was supposed to be awesome, but I was wrong. I will say though that I'm not a fan of romantic comedies in general. But this wasn't a comedy. Or was it supposed to be...?

Yes   |   No

Boring, Boring, Boring!! In fact, the disk was bad half way through this piece of CRAP movie and, we wound up not finishing it. Just as well, I lost interest within the first 5 minutes. Not only was it stupid but also the Amateur film making by "The Star" of this rotten flick made this feel like you were watching Blair Witch Project! Who Comes Up With This S*#T!!? My 7-year-old son can write better screen plays than half the movies out there today!! I give this 1 Star Only Because of the Music... Awesome 70's Rock classics!
