Billed as hip, 90s romantic comedy for an audience American trend analysts condescend to label Generation X...

Yearning, hilarious, lost within their precocious self-awareness, these slackers have soul.

Quite good film with a cool cast. The old films from the 70's, 80's and 90's are always better than their "modern" counterparts. Lets hope this film won't get destroyed by a remake.

Om du har ett enormt sug efter att sätta på en Nirvana- eller The Cranberries skiva så kan du lika gärna ta en nostalgitripp med "Reality Bites".
