Storyline
In this study of Generation X manners, Lelaina, the valedictorian of her college class, camcords her friends in a mock documentary of posteducation life. Troy is her best friend, a perpetually unemployed musical slacker. Vickie is a manager at the Gap who worries about the results of an AIDS test, while Sammy has problems grappling with his sexuality. When Lelaina meets Michael, an earnest video executive who takes her homemade video to his MTV-like station, she must decide what she values--the materialism of yuppie Michael or the philosophical musings of Troy. Written by Rick Gregory <rag.apa@email.apa.org>

Trivia
Quentin Tarantino had originally intended to include "My Sharona" (The Knack) on the soundtrack to Pulp Fiction, but when he went to obtain the rights he found the song had already been licensed to this movie. See more »Goofs
Crew or equipment visible: When Lelaina leaves the club where Troy is playing with his band, when he and Michael run out after her, we see her BMW driving away, however if you freeze-frame, the driver is clearly a man. See more »Quotes
