Reality Bites

Ben Stiller, Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Janeane Garofalo and Steve Zahn star in this smart, insightful and hilarious comedy that looks at life, love and the pursuit of gainful employment. This irreverent look at the harsh realities of life after college captures the misadventures of Lelaina (Ryder), an aspiring TV production assistant, and her relationships with her sarcastic roommate, Vickie (Garofalo), friends Sammy (Zahn) and Troy (Hawke) and an ambitious video executive, Michael (Stiller). This is truly a comedic and cultural touchstone that encapsulates an era like no other.

Critic Reviews:

• " Reality Bites is a legitimately good movie. " – Britt Hayes (Birth.Movies­.Death.)

• " Written with verve and played with grace, Reality Bites is too smart to pass itself off as a definitive statement, but it gets the details delightfully right. " – David Ansen (Newsweek)

• " The best – the brilliant – bits of Reality Bites etch in epigram, anecdote and brittle, dazzling dialogue the inner life of young people who want desperately to believe but haven't decided in what. " – Stephen Hunter (Baltimore Sun)
