I watched about a half hour of this movie because it was shot in Houston, but then I had to stop it before I stabbed myself to death repeatedly. The plot is some counterculture youths finish college but then they have a tough time living in the real world without compromising their radical beliefs, man. It turns out that in the hour that I did not watch they all end up sticking up for their values and saying "fuck you" to the man, but you all knew that already. The most important thing I learned from Generation X is that no matter how much you preach about corporate evil and the horrors of selling out while you're young, there will be plenty of time to sell your music to a car commercial or play an FBI agent on the most right wing show on television when you're older.RATING: 21%

I didn't even recognize Janeane Garofalo. She does look like a Janis, though.
If there's one thing going to law school has taught me, its that there's nothing wrong with selling out.
Thank you, Generation X!
Holy fuck, Ben Stiller was in Reality Bites?
I can't stand Wynona Rider, but I despise Ethan "rat face" Hawke. In Rebel Sell, the authors talk about how the same ill-conceived post-punk Generation X system of "values" probably killed Kurt Cobain. I blame Karl Marx. And heroin.
I'm trying to sell out but no one is buying...damn recession.
I don't think you should use the term "bites" Glenn. It's an ugly word and you are such a nice young man.
