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

As many others said, this movie is great for the manner in which it captures an era. I was in high school myself in the 70s, and it's amazing how close to home it hits. Most of the actors even look like kids I new back in high school. The teachers have that same sleepy and resigned look I remember from the last day of school before summer. Strictly speaking, not a particularly remarkable story from a plot point of view, but a must see for anyone who was coming of age back in those days. And ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
With no plot to speak of, Dazed and Confused lives (and dies) on the charm and affability of its characters; it's not a terribly good film, but it is largely enjoyable and features some nice comic moments.

This movie gets it all right. As a child of the 70s, I lived through it all and it's documented very well in this movie.
We didn't have hazing at my high school (thank God!), but everything else is just like what I went through. The constant pot smoking, the music, the muscle cars, the clothes, he even nailed obnoxious coaches too.
And, of course, this movie was a springboard for new stars. I was like the redhead in this movie - I hated the 70s (until punk/new wave came ... Read More

The time in which I received the product was very timely.
However, the disk was listed as "like new" but when I received the disk it was scratched up and definitely not in "Like New" condition. It also had a name written across the front of the disk.
