Rating: Summary: "Are you cool,man?"ΓΏ Review: This is probably my favourite film EVER! I can't tell you how much i love it-i've lost count of how many times i've watched it.The film holds your interest from start to finish,with it's great opening sequence using Aerosmiths 'sweet emotion'-it gives me chills,baby!The film has a brilliant cast,including Wiley wiggins as 'freshman f**k'Mitch kramer,Sasha jenson as sexy don dawson(he get's all the best lines)and Michelle Burke as Mitch's over protective sister Jodie-not to mention Jason London as Pink.What a guy! Some of the cast went on to bigger things,some didn't but all the performances are fantastic.I love Matthew McConaghey as washed up pervert Wooderson("Wood-a-been-happenin'")"say man-you got a joint?It'd be a lot cooler if you did,heh heh".Richard Linklater is a genius-I just wish he'd hurry up and make a sequel already!The man is a God.
Rating: Summary: the best movie ever made, hands down! Review: ONE OF THE ONLY MOVIES YOU CAN WATCDH 100 TIMES A MONTH AND NOT GET TIRED OF, IT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME AS THE BEST "TEEN" MOVIE EVER MADE.
Rating: Summary: A fascinating look back to Seventies High school life. Review: A rich blend of charachters and a subtle array of humour makes this movie the cult classic it is. Pot smoking,football playing,beer drinking,women chasing,freshman licking seniors party away on their last day of high school. The fact this movie was set around only one day makes you feel part of the ongoings of the group. past-it hippie wooderson enthralls with 'out of it' one-liners,nice guy floyd and his confused circumstance interest, the women are hot and the partys are wild,man you'd be a fool to miss it.
Rating: Summary: A great must see movie about high school in the 70's Review: This movie depicts life as it was in the 70's. You see stars such as Ben Aff, and Mathew MaC, before they were really stars. This is the greatest movie ever published of high school life. If you think high school was bad for you, just see how these freshman are welcomed into highschool. If you want to see a funny movie mistake look when slater, prickford, and donnie are in the the car driving around. Look at the position they are in, slater is on the driver side rear, but when they switch sceens then come back slater is on the passenger rear when he say "check ya later"
Rating: Summary: An excellent Slice of Life from the 1970's! Review: Much more than an "American Graffiti" for the '70's, because the characters and scenarios in "Dazed and Confused" are less contrived, and more of an actual "slice of life." I graduated from a suburban San Francisco Bay Area HS in '72, so my experiences were just a bit different, but everything rings true, and the depiction of time, place, and character are dead accurate.Besides that, "Dazed and Confused" is an extremely well-crafted piece of filmmaking, satirical, funny, with stand-out performances by all. The opening sequence, utilizing Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" to great effect, draws you right into the film completely, and keeps you there until the closing credits finish rolling. This is definitely a good time movie, whether you get dazed and confused yourself or not. And the companion book is a real hoot, too! So, check 'em out!
Rating: Summary: Cool movie. I just have one question: Review: If Slater and Jeff Spicoli were in a fight, who do you think would win? Seriously though, I love both movies and I think Dazed is one of the few worthy successors to Fast Times, the definitive high school movie. John Hughes was cool, but he was nowhere near as good.
Rating: Summary: Like entering a time warp to the '70s -- I loved it! Review: After I saw this movie for the first time, I called all my friends who went to highschool in the '70s and told them that "Dazed and Confused" is a must-see. I recognized many of my former school mates in the true-to-life characters. In almost every scene, I found myself saying "Yeah, I remember that!". The hairstyles and clothes were a total hoot. But mostly, when I was actually living in those times, I remember feeling the same way many of the characters in the movie feel -- when will real life start? I wish I could go back to those times now, and this movie lets me do that -- at least for a couple of hours.
Rating: Summary: An outstanding look at teenage life, simply wonderful. Review: This movie is the most realistic view of teenage life ever put on film. It goes beyond other enjoyable films like "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "American Graffiti" to become totally real. Anyone should enjoy this film.
Rating: Summary: Top notch movie with great cast Review: All the characters are realistcally drawn, with consistently good acting. I'd compare this movie to American Graffiti, except it's funnier. Both movies used a stellar cast of young actors and both went to a lot of trouble to get all the details of the particular time period right. When you see a movie like this you realize how all the mega-budget special effects often get in the way of the typical Hollywood movie. The advertising that accompanied the movie made it seem like it was just a stoner flick, but it's a lot more than that. The DVD provides very sharp images, but the dialog during the first part of the movie seemed to be too low in volume although it picked up later on. That's my only criticism, and it's still an easy 5 star movie.
Rating: Summary: THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME Review: This movie shows how it really was being a teenager back in the day. I'm a teenager and I live in a small town in Texas and this movie reminds me of some of my highschool days. This movie rocks.
