Summary

Ben Stiller, Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Janeane Garofalo and Steve Zahn star in this smart and insightful comedy that looks at life, love, and the pursuit of gainful empoyment.

This irreverent portrayal of the harsh realities of life after college captures the misadventures of Lelaina (Ryder), an ambitious TV production assistant, and her relationships with her sarcastic roommate, Vickie (Garofalo), friends Sammy (Zahn) and Troy (Hawke), and an ambitious video executive, Michael (Stiller). Now, in its 10th anniversary, this is truly a comedic and cultural touchstone that encapsulates an era like no other.
