About this movie

Ben Stiller, Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Janeane Garofalo and Steve Zahn star in this smart, insightful and hilarious comedy that looks at life, love and the pursuit of gainful employment. This irreverent look at the harsh realities of life after college captures the misadventures of Lelaina (Winona Ryder), an aspiring TV production assistant, and her relationships with her sarcastic roommate, Vickie (Janeane Garofalo), friends Sammy (Steve Zahn) and Troy (Ethan Hawke) and an ambitious video executive, Michael (Ben Stiller). This is truly a comedic and cultural touchstone that encapsulates an era like no other.
