I really enjoyed this movie. Looking back in hindsight, I can see the selfishness of the characters, and I have read the complaints about this, but isn't that kind of the whole point of the movie? It's about people talking about... Full review

Reality Bites is a failed spoof of the MTV culture that was ironically latched onto BY the MTV crowd.
