Summary: A very well written and realistic comedy/drama...
Review: ...about five good friends on their way out into life after college. In a last ditch effort, Jack(Ben Affleck) attempts to extend his "glory days" of the partying, and drinking college years. I love this movie for all the great dialogue and insights the characters have. Matthew McConaughey is hilarious in his two minutes of film and the bus scene is just fantastic.

Summary: If you ever lived with a bunch of people in college,see this
Review: Affleck is great - very cynical. French is hillarious. Milano should have gotten naked, but oh well. See this movie. It is not the animal house of the nineties as the lame brained promoters say on the cover. It is its own movie.

Summary: It is a must see movie.
Review: All the actors were great, specialy Leah Remini. She had a small role but she really made the film with her grace and beauty.

Summary: Glory Daze-d!
Review: Glory Daze is an excellent movie, as long as you can handle 90's post-teen and punk-like attitudes! Ben Affleck delivers a stunningly real performance (as he did in Chasing Amy) and his on screen prensence is gritty, it gives a true-to-life feeling to the movie. And the supporting cast is rather stellar considering this movie was released so low-key. My biggest draw to this movie has to be the moral dillemas and friendships- much of this movie mirrored my own last two years, and not many movies seem as realistic. The soundtrack is also stellar. If you want an example of some great modern punk/ska bands, pick up this soundtrack. Overall, if you find Kevin Smith's type's of films entertaining(Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma) you should have no problem loving this movie as much as I do! A definite must-buy for any movie lover!

Summary: 9 out of 10
Review: Glory Daze surprised me with its great story and top of the line acting, without failing to mention the incredible chemistry in the affinity of the five male college students. This is much unlike a fraternity group that gives out the typical stereotype normally found in any college movie. Rob Wilkes, the director, takes this film into a different direction of the college days. Totally, this reminds me what I used to go through what Jack, played by Ben Affleck, went through. I had that type of friends, girlfriend problems, reality issues to be dealt with, and unsure parents. It really hit the understanding of what I was facing, and often, I hated to give it up. Ultimately, the college days were over for me, and we moved on. So simple a film, the deep the meanings were. I applaud the performances, a surprisingly top-notch performance given by Ben Affleck followed by the rest of the cast members. I enjoyed those cameos by Matt Damon, Matt McConaughney (that was a world-class cameo), and Brendan Fraiser. This film is definitely better than Reality Bites, although the themes are very similar. Glory Daze gave some unpredictable moments which I enjoyed. A few great twists. Ben Affleck has really been very impressive. I can't say enough about his work. Another actor, French Stewart, has done a marvelous job here also. Glory Daze is the one I would recommend to anyone, especially those who have gone through college days and wanted to know what it feels like again. This is a real gem.

Summary: good movie with a great cast
Review: good look at the disfunctional fraternity brothers, the house includes Ben Affleck(Paycheck, Dogma), Sam Rockwell(Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, Charlies Angels), Vien Hong(Gleaming The Cube and City Of Industry), French Stewart(tv's 3rd Rock From The Sun and Stargate) and Vinnie DeRamus. They all have problems but each one works it out in the end. Cameos by Matthew McConaughey(Reign Of Fire), Brendan Fraser(Looney Toons:Back In Action), Leah Remini(Old School) and Matt Damon(Dogma, Gerry) spark this movie. other cast members include Megan Ward(Arcade), Meredith Salenger(Lake Placid,The Kiss), John Rhys-Davies(The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy),Spalding Gray(Kate & Leopold,How High) and Alyssa Milano(tv's Charmed and Fear). great beginning, middle and ending. a good view favorite line
Rob(Sam Rockwell)-"Look at me, I look like Jam Master Shecky!"

Summary: An excellent performance by Ben Affleck :)
Review: I actually never saw or heard of this movie before until I purchased it from amazon.com, and as soon as I watched it, I am glad I did. Ben Affleck plays Jack, a 22 year old man, who is graduating from college, and he has to accept the fact that life has to move on. The supporting cast which includes Alyssa Milano, Megan Ward, and French Stewart were great as well. I really enjoyed this movie! I am so glad that I purchased this movie, I absolutely adore it.

Summary: Fun comedy about facing life after graduation
Review: I admit that I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I never expected to see a semi-major star like Ben Affleck play a drunk/punk/skater in a raucous comedy, but he pulls it off well. I suppose I liked the movie more than most because I was once in Jack's (Ben Affleck's character) position, and it was a hell of a lot of fun, but at times it was scary, because once you graduate, everyone expects you to put down the beerbong and pick up a briefcase, which is a hell of a transition. The characters were weird, out of control, and at times larger-than-life, but it's exactly what you see in "party" houses around college campuses all around the country, especially in California. Alyssa Milano, Vien Hong, and French Stewart all play their parts stylishly, but Affleck is the star of the show - he even had me believing he was a Screeching Weasel and Op Ivy fan. I recommend this movie to anyone who's interested to know what the non-frat boy college party life is really like, but please don't think that people like NOFX as much as is portrayed in this film. I think Fat Mike (lead vocalist for NOFX and owner of Fat Wreck Chords) must have had a hand in supplying the soundtrack, hats, and t-shirts for Glory Daze, because it was a little silly to see and hear so many references to NOFX! In my opinion this is a must-see comedy, almost like a 90's version of Animal House, and I commend Affleck for taking a chance on this role.

Summary: Moving with very good performance by Ben Affleck
Review: I bought Glory Daze just because I am a Ben Affleck fan. I didn't expect much. I am 38 years old and I thought that the story of a bunch of college graduates would have nothing to do with me. Boy, was I wrong ! Only 10 minutes into the movie I could see myself portrayed in those characters. Although the movie was shot with young people, for young people and about young people, there are certain things that stay with you as you mature and Glory Daze sure manages to pull some of my emotional strings. The actors are all fine. We get to see French Stewart from 3rd Rock from the Sun, Alyssa Milano from Who's the Boss and Charmed, and Brendan Fraser in a small part. There's also a very small scene with Matt Damon. Ben Affleck delivers such a powerful performance. He really knows how to touch you with his sensitive portrayal. It always amazes me his capability of deep emotions at such an early age. This is pretty rare in young actors. It makes you wonder what was Ben's emotional background. A pretty intense one I suppose ! Glory Daze is a must for any Ben Affleck fan and will be enjoyed by young people of all ages. Finally it has come out on DVD. And I can't wait to get my hands on it ! :)
