This is one of my favorite coming of age post graduation films ever made, and early Ben Stiller, I’m glad he doesn’t get the girl in the end
I think it's a great piece of time showing us Gen X fumbling the bag. The movie is a better dark comedy than it is a romance.
Great cast, realistic & good ending! Decent watch.
i loved the set up & was really intrigued by the whole pov of crisis, jobs etc tbh the whole romantic plot was kind of unnecessary for me 🤠
Great slice of life film. A Gen X classic that is as brilliant today as it was 25 years ago.
Standard movie about life from the 90s. Ok to watch, nothing spectacular
Nice grunge flick. More or less Sums up the 90s.
This must have really resonated with Gen X but it’s sadly dated and cliche by modern standards, still a worthwhile watch.
Does a decent job of capturing young adulthood, finding your place in the world, and resisting the urge to sellout. Pairs well with SLC Punk
I love it, great writting and perfomances
