Absolutely the worst movie.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The first must-see film of the year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Worth watching simply for the music - though perhaps Slow Ride is tad bit over used!

Some of you are saying this is so far from your experience in high school while others tell what actually happened. So it didn't happen to you but it actually did happen to some people. Just because you went to high school in thIs time periods and it wasn't true to YOUR experience doesn't mean it never happened. It doesn't matter anyway I was a movie that captured parts of the culture in the 70s get over it

'Dazed and Confused' is a straightforward movie with nothing under its sleeve to surprise you with. No complicated plot or unexpected twists. What Linklater instead gives you is a bunch of energetic, chaotic, high and drunk seniors and scared, playful, high and drunk freshmen. And believe me, there is nothing to complain about. Linklater takes us on quite an enthralling journey allowing us to witness the friendship, love and a few brawls that happens between these young and high spirited bunch after their school closes for the summer. The movie never focuses on any particular individual but instead bounces around giving us snippets of engaging conversations and events happening in their lives. And to compensate the loosely structured plot, what 'Dazed and Confused' has is a wonderful cast. While all of them gives incredible and authentic performances, the star of the show is none other than Matthew McConaughey. Even with so little screen time McConaughey imprints himself on our mind with his charming performance.Richard Linklater's 'Dazed and Confused' is an honest coming-of-age movie with some incredible performances that will leave an impression on the audience.

Following his debut with independent teen movie Slacker, the second film from director Richard Linklater (Before Sunrise, School of Rock, Boyhood) was another teen movie, I was especially attracted to watch when I read more about the cast. Basically it is May 28th 1976 in a small town in the suburbs of Austin, Texas, the last day of the academic year at Lee High School, many of the kids are skipping classes, smoking weed and ready to celebrate the summer vacation, with a big keg party at Kevin Pickford's house. The Seniors are excited to chase the newbie Freshmans for hazing and no-nonsense spankings, while the girls face verbal abuse and humiliation. There is no plot as such, it is mainly a series of conversations while characters walk and drive to the party, and of course when they are there the many groups of greasers, nerds, stoners and athletes indulge in boozing and drugs to their heart's content, but they do change perspectives through their actions. Starring Jason London as Randall "Pink" Floyd, Rory Cochrane as Slater, Waking Life's Wiley Wiggins as Mitch Kramer, Sasha Jenson as Don Dawson, Michelle Burke as Jodi Kramer, Shawn Andrews as Pickford, Road Trip's Anthony Rapp as Tony Olson, Christin Hinojosa as Sabrina Davis, Big Daddy's Joey Lauren Adams as Simone Kerr, Marissa Ribisi (Giovanni's twin sister) as Cynthia Dunn, Cole Hauser as Benny and Nicky Katt as Clint, and featuring up-and-coming young talents Adam Goldberg as Mike Newhouse, Milla Jovovich as Michelle Burroughs, Matthew McConaughey as David Wooderson, Ben Affleck as Fred O'Bannion and Parker Posey as Darla Marks, and look out for Renée Zellweger as the Girl in blue pickup truck. Seeing the young big-name actors is the highlight of the film, it has a pseudo-documentary style, and it has similarities to Fast Times at Ridgemont High and American Graffiti, it is not like American Pie, full of sex, crudeness and over-the-top jokes, it is a simple but effective look at the interactions, attraction and distractions by teenagers killing time, with a terrific soundtrack, including songs by Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Bob Dylan, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Kiss, a most watchable comedy drama. Good!
