Phenomenal!
If you're looking for that quintessential nineties vibe, this is your movie. It was really well done and Winona Ryder nailed it...like always.

A 90's Classic.
I first watched this video years ago while going through a divorce. Still to this day, it is a go-to movie for me whenever I'm feeling blue. Ethan Hawke's performance was superb.

16 and Life
Hey It's The Sunnydale Chick, and I had just bought several movies (and the show My so called life) That helped remind me of High school).....cause unlike some.....I ACTUALLY did fall in love with my Best Friend who proposed to me In High school...and this is for him specifically......although my friends know about our love story 2......and I wanted to say Yes that's also why I love these kind of movies and Tv shows and such....Including Buffy for characters like Faith....and Angel for characters like Conner....one's who don't REALLY think they have a place cause they aren't like everyone else, but turns out they HAD a place all along......it was just with a different crowd.....and that's what me and my guy have ALWAYS had ......we'd skip school, and lived together (yes even then) and it was REALLY great until this one day when I had to move away, and when THAT happened......we spent the whole day together......wanting SO BADLY to run away together (like at the end of Ameican Beauty which is why I bought that movie as well.....and we even wrote a song called 16 and life based on how we fell in love in High school (from The Skid Row song 18 and life) and that's our main song now. That was a pretty rough day.....but after we always knew we'd get back together and we did.....and were Very happy together......and that's my Love story I promised I'd tell; but if you're wondering about Corey Feldman and some of you could be.....if you've seen Lost Boys 3.....Well that's what my Bad Boy's like. A Senior in High school when I was a Junior.....and he's also like Troy.....and still 2 this day(just like our friends and the other students all thought....we are still together.....and we've never been happier.....So what I wanted to add to that.....was if you fall in love in High school GO FOR IT......cause you DON'T EVER want to miss that chance!

The 90s spirit encapsulated in one movie
As a nineties teen, this movie was my jam. Watching it again as an adult in my thirties, some of it is certainly dated, but it feels like a fun nostalgia piece. If one could possibly harken back to the good old days of aids tests, greasy hair, chain smoking and working at the gap with fondness- then this is the movie for you.It's fun to see Winona Ryder in her heyday, Ben Stiller as a hot Saab driving yuppy and Ethan Hawke, Janeane Garofalo and many others at the start of their careers. The soundtrack is one of the very best examples of eighties and nineties indie and alt music and makes the film extra fun.What it lacks in substance, this movie makes up for with nineties fashions and sentiments- in spades. Definitely worth the nostalgic journey or as an intro to the 90s as an era...

I Rented This Film For The Knack
My Sharona was so early on in it I was done watching at that point. Ethan's character was a self-centered jackass. Winona's character was 15 years old mentally. Ben Stiller over acts again. I can't figure out who mugs for the camera more, he or Tom Cruise. I've always had a soft spot for Jeanine Garofolo and mad respect for Steve Zahn. As much as I didn't like this film. I'm glad I saw it to get my personal perspective on all the hype. It wasn't trash. But I see how its style paved the way for a hundred and fourteen other films done the same way during that era and after. It was a rom-com without any comedy. Coulda used some.

One of my favorites.

I LOVE this film! The characters are exceptional with the possible exception of Ben Stiller who plays the most annoying yuppie ever and who drives you to distraction with his inability to express himself with even the most simple of words. However, the articulate and linguistic delight that is Troy Dyer (Ethan Hawke) more than makes up for it. It is impossible to not fall for his character. His eventual 'get-together' with LeLaina is inevitable despite their sometimes vicious arguments and personal attacks.......yet we know it is all in the name of love. Their dancing in the petrol station to My Sherona has to be one of the most humourous moments in film history. A brilliant must-see film.

¿Por qué me gusta esto?
Esta peli es la típica pastelada romántica sin puñetero fuste, el guión apesta, los personajes van de inteligentes y profundos pero no pueden hacer más el gilip... hay escenas que dan vergüenza ajea, sin embargo no puedo dejar de revisitarla cada x tiempo. Me encanta! y mira que es mala cojones... Será xq Winona no ha estado más guapa nunca, por la banda sonora de Lisa Loeb y el resto de canciones o porque sí q hay química con Ethan Hawke, o por la época (qué grandes esos años 90). En fin... placer culpable. La edición está genial, súper completa.

a must see film
Reality Bites. One of the best feel good movies to come out of the '90's. A beautifully written screenplay - thanks to the enormous talent of Helen Childress. It has everything that a romantic comedy demands and much more. Ben Stiller not only provides great comedic value to the film but proves himself as a wonderful director - achieving a natural "fly on the wall" feel from all the actors. So many great moments that you'll remember forever. Great chemistry between Ethan Hawke and Winona Ryder.Grabs you from the start and takes you through a unique journey of laughter and poignancy in the blink of an eye. This film will be part of your watch again and again collection.
