What a waste of my time!!!
Too many fans seem to be blown away
Highly Overrated But Still Good
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
It's aimless, meandering, filled with people that are both likeable and unlikeable, and lacks any real plot, but this is still a classic of the high school movie genre. A great soundtrack really helps to capture the time, but I can see people born after a certain time not getting this movie at all, and maybe even being offended by it, but sorry kids, things were different back then, get over it.
In the year of America's 200th birthday, Richard Linklater drops us smack dab at the end of the school year but the beginning of the summer in a small town of Texas. My friends and I grew up with this film and would often watch either this or Pink Floyd's The Wall, the Alan Parker rendition. Years later, I have grown out of the latter film but Dazed & Confused still sticks with me. I believe this is due to the fact that it explores more than just a day in the life of hanging around teenagers but explores a theme that Linklater would continue throughout his career: the passing of time. This is a terrific film to watch at anytime. Whether you're hanging out with friends or all alone.
wow this is the worst movie of all time. i saw its name in comedy genre and decided to watch it.that was a mistake.it ain't a comedy. there should be a genre named NON COMEDY for movies like this.. this is so bad i couldn't believe it ended without any ending. bunch of stupid highschoolers dream walking for a day and it is supposed to be funny. i was hoping for drastic last few minutes to ignore the torture throughout the movie but they never came. i couldn't understand a word in the beginning and the situation never improved. piece of sh#t.
I won't lie that I watched it after I saw 'Everybody Wants Some!!' from the same director. Because I liked that film and I heard that was a spiritual sequel to this one. So there goes my reason. I usually love the 80s and 90s teen films, you can't compare them to what they make now. The film was from the edge of before my generation began, but I'm very related that time than the other end. So I felt very familiar and enjoyed it thoroughly.The film focused on the final day of the high school. It opened in the afternoon during the final class and followed by night where a party was arranged by the seniors that does not take off after their parents suspected it. Between the freshmen and the seniors, a tradition follows. Some of them escape, but those who got caught, struggles to way out. Not everyone, some make it their best time in high school. So who gets what and how everyone's night turns out revealed in the remaining.We can see some of the big names of the today's cinema in this 23 year old film. Matthew McCanaughey, Milla Jovovich, Ben Affleck and many more. Though the film never focused one particular character, it was neutral and stayed that way till the end. But it told the story of the final day of the high school about the individuals and their intentions. You do not have to be a youngster to enjoy it, it will work for everybody. So I hope you watch it, especially before to try 'Everybody Wants Some'.7/10
