It's almost more of a time capsule of zeitgeist than a movie! I don't think I've ever seen anything nail the grungy, early 1990s views of Generation X more perfectly. Ben Stiller is a surprisingly competent director, and the performances of Ethan Hawke and Winona Ryder are top notch. There are some really dated elements to this movie, and there are several pacing and storytelling issues that hold it back from it's full potential, but if you are interested in any of these artists or the mentality of young people in the early 1990s, you got to give this one a watch!
