“O.k., so Reality Bites did much the same thing several years before this movie came out, certainly thereu0026#39;s plenty of angst to go around.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie isnu0026#39;t perfect, as there are several places along the way where the acting / writing / directing does misfire, but this is a good movie that resonates true as three college friends try to figure out what life after college holds for them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll three leads are eminently watchable on screen, as all are sympathetic characters despite their flaws. Jason Londonu0026#39;s self-absorbed credit-card spender shows us why we keep people like him as friends.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf anything, these characters, while still recognizable as X-er archetypes (the shallow biz dude, the waffling woman who canu0026#39;t decide to commit, and the tortured artist in unrequited love) are more real than many other attempts to put them on screen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA solid piece of work from young writers, directors and actors. Definitely worth a rainy-day rental.”
