This is an old movie, I watched it long time ago on vcd and finally I got the dvd.It's a 1994 movie starring Ethan Hawke, Winona Ryder, Ben Stiller (also a director), Janeane Garofalo and Steve Zahn. About 4 friends also roomates who still tried to struggle their life, after graduated they had to find what life was better for them, Lelaina (Winona) worked on TV station later as a film documentor, Troy (Ethan) was an idealist one - always lost his jobs because of his idealism and as a singer by night (member of a grunge band), Vickie (Janeane) was promoted to be an assistant manager at GAP who feared of AIDS because her one-night stand's life, and Sammy (Steve) was a gay who still afraid to tell his family about his sexual life. Ben Stiller played Micheal - an executive in one of the companya (Media-TV company).
It's all about the life of the youngsters: the conflict, the love, the relationship & frienship, forgiveness, afraid, anger and all in one packet. They all came with the messages that life is not easy, if you get through it together and follow your heart your life will be easier to handle..
Troy had a long time crush on Lelaina and also she on him but they always had an arguement and Troy hated commitment, she found him as irresponsible and lazy slob. And after Micheal was coming to her life, the air was change and Troy who always deny what he felt, suddenly he felt lost and finally he tried to get what he want to have in this life.
This is a happy ending movie, which is I love the most. You can see Renee Zellweger as her film debut, Ethan Hawke's voice (he can sing...great!), Lisa Loeb-Stay, Big Mountain-Baby, I Love your Way, etc....

Vickie Miner: You don't understand, every day, all day, it's all that I think about, OK? Every time I sneeze, it's like I'm four sneezes away from the hospice. And it's like it's not even happening to me, it's like I'm watching it on some crappy show like Melrose Place or some shit right, and I'm the new character, I'm the HIV AIDS character and I live in the building and I teach everybody that 'It's OK to be near me, it's OK to talk to me.' And then I die. And there's everybody at my funeral wearing halter tops or chokers or some shit like that.
Lelaina: Vickie stop, OK? Just stop. You're freaking out. And you know what? You're gonna have to deal with the results, whatever they are, we're gonna have to deal with them just like we've dealt with everything else.
Vickie Miner: This isn't like everything else.
Lelaina: I know that, alright? But it's gonna be OK, you know? I know it's gonna be OK. Melrose Place is a really good show.
