Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A feel-good story about love and friendship
Review: The first time I watched this film I thought it was great and I had to own it. Mostly because I enjoyed the idea of four college friends sharing their lives together, and the fact that Winona Ryder starred!

The charcter Vickie is an instant favourite and wonderfully played by Janeane Garofolo! Also the soundtrack was great and really added the right knd of feel to the film. The documentary idea was a very nice touch. The opening scene where the four friends are on top of the building after their graduation is very amusing - life seems fine until reality starts to bite as the film progresses. One of my other favourite scenes is when they start dancing in the store.

However, after watching it so many times I had the urge to write my own ending! What started out as a film about four friends with a complicated love interest as a sub plot soon became a story about a love triangle...I don't think the character Sam was focused enough on and we are left at the end wondering what has happened to him and Vickie.

Despite this I really did like the film, it is one of my all-time favourites and I will most likely watch it again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Winona's good but the real star of this film is Janeane
Review: "Reality Bites" is one of the most funny, refreshing, insightful films in recent years. Filled with realistic characters and multitudinous pop culture references (which add a great deal to the fun), this movie is definitely a winner. The best performance, however, is usually overlooked. That is that of Ms Janeane Garofolo, who plays Winona's friend, Vickie. That description can hardly do justice to the brilliance with which Janeane creates her character, Vickie, a cynical, funny, dissatisfied yet dedicated person who through much of the film is wondering about whether or not she has AIDS. Her brilliant performance, a mixture of hilarious comedy and deep, touching pathos is what reaches this film to a level above all the rest out there. Admittedly, the role of wisecracking best friend could have been a one-dimensional role but she creates a person out of Vickie--a person anyone would love to be best friends with. The most hilarious moment in the film has to be the "dramatization" she and her gay friend make of how he will come out to his parents. She is a riot. Plain and simple.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITES!

Summary: JUST A WHINING MESS
Review: ben Stiller who was so hilarious in Something About Mary directed this generation X(?) film about love in the 90's and existence without meaning and all that hoosa-fudge. These teeny Bopper movies about finding love without caring about anything really piss me off. You wanna see a good teen film? go see KIDS, its more realistic, more substancial and funny as hell sometimes. Winona Ryder you are so damn annoying in this movie I cant believe it. Ethan Hawke delivered some great lines but never really made up his mind of what the hell he really believed in. Sorry but this is not as good a film as all these reviewers say it is. see KIDS, thats a great great great film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A VERY GOOD MOVIE
Review: I watched this movie a long time ago so I do not remember excatly what I thought about it - I just remember I really loved it, and if I will just get my father's premission to use his credit card... I'll buy it as soon as I can.

Besides, it was the first Ethan Hawke movie I saw - and ever since then I've seen more movies of him and he's my favorite actor now. You can say Winona Ryder is one of my favorite actresses too - I just love her!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Life of a Twentysomething
Review: Ben Stiller captures the lives of these five generation Xer's perfectly.This movie is refreshing much to the fact that it is the typical story of the trials and rocky roads of being a young adult in their early twenties. Stiller does not play any of the character's up to be some type of fantasy, but he is real true to life. This movie really sums up the fact that sometimes...Reality does Bite.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: awful
Review: This is the worst movie I have ever seen. The characters were totally unrealistic. Most twenty-somethings don't act as conceited and immature as these people. I feel sorry for those who liked this movie and came to believe that it is cool to do nothing more than smoke cigarettes, drink coffee, and act like little babies. This movie has nothing to do with actual reality.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 1 stars
