U.S., 1994, 99 min, 2K DCP, Dir. Ben Stiller, Rated PG-13, Universal Pictures


Reality Bites

Saturday, 6/1

“By aiming specifically—and accurately—at characters in their twenties, debuting screenwriter Helen Childress and first-time director [Ben] Stiller achieve something even greater: they encapsulate an era.” – Desson Howe, The Washington Post

Ben Stiller’s directorial debut is an irreverent look at the harsh realities of life after college that 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 (Stiller). A comedic and cultural touchstone, Reality Bites encapsulated the ennui and existential crises of Generation X like no other.

The 2:15 pm "After Hours in the Sun" screening is at regular price but includes free popcorn, happy hour and $5 tickets for After Hours members.


After Hours is the best films you never saw on the big screen (or maybe you did) from late-night cult classics to foreign favorites and even summer blockbusters on weekends. Please note that unclaimed pre-ordered tickets will be sold to the rush line 30 mins after showtime.
