It's graduation day, 1994, and Lelaina Pierce is taking her first, bold step into the final frontier - reality. Unfortunately, her future seems to have moved away without leaving a forwarding address. Wynona Rydera and Ethan Hawke star with Janeane Garofalo and Steve Zahn as a circle of friends, who, facing some hard facts about life and love after college, are mapping out their own offbeat survival guide for the 1990s.

Ben Stiller makes his feature directing debut with Reality Bites, a fresh, irreverant romantic comedy about life and love for post-Baby-Boomers.
