You remember high school? Really remember? If you think you do, watch this film: it'll all really come racing back. After changing the world with the generation-defining Slacker, director Richard Linklater turned his free-range vérité sensibility on the 1970s. As before, his all-seeing camera meanders across a landscape studded with goofy pop culture references and poignant glimpses of human nature. Only this time around, he's spreading a thick layer of nostalgia over the lens (and across the soundtrack). It's as if Fast Times at Ridgemont High was directed by Jean-Luc Godard. The story deals with a group of friends on the last day of high school, 1976. Good-natured football star Randall 'Pink' Floyd navigates effortlessly between the warring worlds of jocks, stoners, wannabes, and rockers with girlfriend and new-freshman buddy in tow. Surprisingly, it's not a coming-of-age movie, but a film that dares ask the eternal, overwhelming, adolescent question, 'What happens next?' It's a little too honest to be a light comedy (representative quote: 'If I ever say these were the best years of my life, remind me to kill myself.'). But it's also way too much fun (remember souped-up Corvettes and bicentennial madness?) to be just another existential-essay-on-celluloid. --Grant Balfour

Supposed to be about the era when I graduated High School. It's not. At least not on this planet. Instead it's a parade of stereotypes, over used prop-gags, and a hodge-podge of someone else's confused idea of what might have been happening, some place. To someone.
Rating: - A Modern Classic that captures an era as perfectly as looking through an old photo album.
Richard Linklater's first picture, SLACKER, made on a shoestring, earned him a lot of attention, and he somehow managed to persuade Universal Pictures to spend $6 million on his sophomore effort, DAZED & CONFUSED, which follows a group of two dozen suburban Texas kids on the last day of high school in 1976. The studio that financed AMERICAN GRAFFITI several years before may have been hoping that lightning would strike again, and indeed there are intriguing similarities between the two movies. ...

Rating:  - anyone from 18-35
Most people under 40 should enjoy this movie. Sensationalized end of summer film that takes place in 70's Texas. Mary janes beers and Footbal, girls and a new freshman class to haze, what could be better!
ben affleck is great! and parker posey is all star. Go SUNY-Purchase!
Rating: - Top Ten High School Comedy
This movie perfectly captures sort of a lost era in the US. It is the post hippy/pre-gen x'er era in which young people are trying to figure out a purpose for life. I would consider it the 1970's version of 'American Graffiti.' It's easily one of the ten best comedies about high schoolers and is very funny in some scenes, yet very poignant in others.
