Product Description:
An aspiring filmmaker follows the paths of her friends after they graduate from college in texas. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/27/2007 Starring: Winona Ryder Ben Stiller Run time: 98 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Ben Stiller
Amazon.com:
Ben Stiller's directorial debut was this sporadically successful twentysomething comedy that tries too hard to codify the generational experience of its young adult characters. Winona Ryder plays a still-unformed woman struggling with career and relationship issues, Janeane Garofalo portrays her best friend, and Ethan Hawke and Stiller play the two lovers pursuing her. The story is as also about generation-X confusion over how to get by in a hand-me-down world with not much to get excited about, a world filled with a pop culture currency of bad music and poetry slams. The film's chief strength is its appealing cast, which is bolstered by appearances from David Spade, Renee Zellweger, Kevin Pollak, Jeanne Triplehorn, and Stiller's mother, Anne Meara. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Little bit of nostalgia for the Gen Xers!
This movie is a bit of history now for Gen Xer's that have moved on in life.
Rating:  - This reality feels just right...
I think that `Reality Bites' has been unfairly labeled as thin and hollow. I actually feel as though the film tackles its issues with grace and delicacy, handling the subject in a way that feels complete when the credits begin to roll. The film was never meant to be a weighty message type film but more a relaxed look at real concerns of the youths of the 90's (or `Generation X'). For what it sets out to do, I think `Reality Bites' works very well. When you couple the finely crafted script with ... Read More
Rating: - a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes
[Reality Bites] is the story of four students who graduate and find themselves facing, well, reality. Troy Dyer [Ethan Hawke] is an intelligent but shiftless slacker. He plays in a band, but other than that, can't hold down a job to save his life. He has a thing for Lelaina Pierce [Winona Ryder] but the two fight the inevitable, afraid of commitment, or afraid that their friendship will suffer. Lelaina has a good job at a local TV morning show, but she hates it. She astutely judges it to be insipid, ... Read More
Rating:  - No, the film bites
No, this film bites! Has there ever been another film where the main characters are so unlikable? Winona Ryder is supposed to be the valedictorian of her class, and her acquaintance Ethan Hawke is routinely described as having a "high IQ" - yet they are both lazy, criminally inclined and, well, unlikable. Ben Stiller plays a buffoon executive who is so inarticulate as to invite audience scorn.
Nor are the situations plausible. Ryder, the "valedictorian," forgets the final pages of her ... Read More
Rating:  - A classic!
This movie changed my life. How? The books that the character 'Troy' (Ethan Hawke) either reads or references in the movie. Sure, it's a great movie but what meant the most for me was the director's or writer's (or whoever it was) choice to use or reference the following books: Martin Heidegger's "Being and Time", Robert Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and John Steinbeck's "The Winter of Our Discontent". Read those books and you will be forever changed!
