Some scenes defy all movie conventions-doing nothing whatsoever to further the plot-and exist only as a forum for hearing the characters' philosophies of life. The first five minutes or so show Poiccard driving through Paris, talking to himself about nothing in particular, but giving us insight into how his mind works. Another scene shows an author's press conference that Patricia covers for her news-paper.

Moreover, "St. Elmo's Fire" had exciting twists in its love plots, while the love plot of "Reality Bites is absolutely stock. From the moment you see Ben Stiller's Ken Olin hair and eager, money-making kind of mannerisms, you know that Winona will wind up with theother: the unshaven, moody "slacker" who can't keep a job even...
