Review of Reality Bites (1994) by Erik G — 26 Jan 2012
'Reality Bites' is the best film portrayal of a postgraduate life where, even if you're the valedictorian, it is often difficult to find the most desirable jobs and romance relationships. When I watched this I was surprised with many of the Generation X references throughout, whether by picture or by spoken dialogue, although the time setting was in the mid-'90s.
The way Lelaina was chronicling her life on film was close to being The Real World to me. Nice to see the great acting performances from our characters - I was surprised with the short David Spade appearance at the burger joint! Plus, the soundtrack has a good selection of tracks to fit with the sequences and to keep them moving, including Lisa Loeb's #1 hit "Stay (I Missed You)".
The good thing about me is that, unlike the characters here, I'm still in college now, so I don't have to worry about the difficulties of life after graduation. :).
