Reality Bites

Interesting - when I could understand something. It moved so fast and there was so much drama and talking and fighting that I couldn't keep up with it. What is this movie about? It rarely makes a point, it's just endless blabbering and toxic relationships and privileged kids. I liked that it allowed that sort of existential angst of the 90s to be portrayed but at times I felt it was just random rambling and shouting about nothing. I absolutely hated the unstable dynamic between Troy and Lelaina - what's his deal and why are they so randomly mean to each other, then really tender and kind? Is that supposed to be passion or worse, real love? So unhealthy. I get the quarter life crisis mood and disappointment with the real world, can totally empathise, but I was left so confused. Liked the soundtrack though.

Smart compendium of issues that Generation X faced in the 90's: Employment and career, young love and sex, AIDS, personal conflicts and commiseration. All deftly done with comedic flare and heart by all-star cast of that moment. Some of my most memorable movie lines: "Mr. Brady died of AIDS...and Melrose Place really is a good show."

Ben Stiller did a great job of directing as well as acting in this very entertaining piece of art. Winona Ryder, as well as her acting, was HOT!!! She put all that she had into every part of this film. Janeane Garofalo was sort of deppersing but due to the fact that she was always hanging around with Winona, everything ended up being perfect, and did not get the least bit boring. This movie was wonderfully directed by Ben Stiller because it had an underground feel to it with high quality everything. On top of that it just straight out rocked! It is one of those few movies that is a comedy as well as a drama to the fullest amount. Ethan Hawke did a surprisingly fantastic job in his role as Winona's "boy friend". The chemistry between Ben, Ethan, and Winona was unbelievable. It is something you don't want to miss. ROCK!!!

I really really liked Reality Bites, but it's hard to call it a great film. The flaws are abundant and the acting by the leads is amazing. A time capsule for the 90s.

Ben Stiller directing his first film was a complete screw up. This movie bites not reality. Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Steve Zahn, and Ben Stiller all star in this train wreck. I give it a 6. I don't know why but I give it a 6. It feels like I missed something watching this movie. This movie is a stupid comedy with no real laughs in it. This movie stinks just like The Dana Carvey Show and Tom Green's Stunt Show. Some major stars in this movie, but still this movie sucks big time. I would like Mr. Stiller to show me my money back sooner or later. I don't see the comedic gem in this movie. Sorry Ben but you don't have my vote.

Never have seen it tell 2018. Wow slow n dumb. I guess this is were Blair Witch Protect came from. This is not even a funny movie. No relationship to a 90s kid too.

Yeah, I saw this movie. What would you like to know? What are the names of the actors in this movie? That's an example of the types of questions you can ask. Who directed this movie? Are they from America? Does this movie have a soundtrack? These are other examples of really good questions to ask me. Here is like another good question- Does what happens in the movie, like is it important, like is it significant to the plot? This is the part of the review where I try to stretch it, y'know, ran out of things to say but I'm still trying to meet the bare minimum of what constitutes for a review. These last few words here should do just that.
