The casting is superb: Ethan Hawke, Winona Ryder, Janeane Garofolo and Steve Zahn are all perfect in their roles.

You must see this movie!

Stiller Bites
Review date: 2004-01-21 Rating: 2 out of 10

Now first of all dont get me wrong Ben Stiller is a good actor, he just happens to be one of the worst directors.

This was his first directing outing, and from the standard it should have been his last, most people see this film as a nice little 90's film, but even with an all star cast it lacks substance.

Winona Ryder plays a dippy little city girl troubled with her love life and swamped under with bill payments 'like that's original or interesting'.

Ben Stiller plays his typical kinda guy, easy to conform to the people around him business type.

but most of all i hate Ethan Hawk, great actor, but the single most annoying character's ever, he is egotistic, arrogant and makes his own pathetic life seem more interesting & worthwhile by pointing out other peoples foibles.

all in all you can buy this film if you want, but i seriously advice not doing so, you'll watch it once then put it in the loft to get dusty for years unless of course you never even finish the film.

welcome to the winter of our discontent!!

At first, i have to admit, i watched the film mainly because of Ethan Hawke. BUT, i'm glad to say, by the end i really felt that the film was more than just a rom/com.

the storyline is typical, the love triangle over-used, and the use of amiture vidoe footage a clear reminder of when the film was made, but the idea is classically good and solid.

If i was to point out one part of the film that i liked, i wouldn't be able to. the script is it's greatest asset, with brilliant lines that - i have found - can be used almost every day.

the acting is flawless, although the main storyline does brush over certain characters like Sammy and Vicky which, i think, should have been shown in greater detail and not just by-products to teh Hawke - Ryder - Stiller plot.

but, overal, this is a mustsee film for all pre 30's and remains an everlasting example of the early 90's teen/post college genre before 'She's all that' and 'american pie'.
