Less of an ensemble and more of a constrained love triangle between Stiller , Ryder , and Hawke ’s character reference , world Bitesbites of more than it can masticate in its attempt to beThe Graduatefor its generation . Yet , time has been genial to this movie merely because it assist as a gripping abridgement of a abbreviated full stop when muddied flannel , someone mend , and cigarettes breath were all considered appealing . Hey , it still beat stupid TikTok dances and Hawk Tuah Girl .
