An awesome classic rock soundtrack disguised as a 70's period piece. I was a high schooler in the 70's and there were aspects that held true, but for the most part this film can be accredited fantasy status, glorification, or U. S. culture snipits. Other movies have been made in this style, that is no real plot line and a casual drop in feel on the lives of teens.... I dont think this is one of the better ones. Nice polished mostly 70's era cars, some interesting clothing styles and classic rock carry this movie. Hazing didnt really exist here....not sure why it was such a big focus there. Worth a watch just to knock it off the list, or as good background music. Lacked humour for a comedy.

If you looked up nostalgia in the dictionary you'd see a picture of dazed and confused. You'd automatically know what the word means because of how the movie made you feel. Chill vibes, great music, overall a fun time.

Dazed and Confused is a great, funny movie that brought back some good memories of my high school days. I did not go to high school in the 1970's but many things that take place in this movie happened at my high school just in a different decade. This is about the last day of school at a Texas high school in 1976 and what happened the rest of that day and night. It was refreshing to see actors before they got famous. I barely recognized Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey. The cast did an excellent job. The soundtrack is amazing. There are many great classic rock bands I enjoy such as Aerosmith, Lynryd Skynyrd, and Foghat. Overall, this is a fun movie. I forgot how girls used to use pliers to fit in their jeans. That doesn't happen much nowadays. I rate this film 8/10.

Incredible pre-selection cast acting Talent scout 10/10 many actor/actress after performance in Dazed and confused haved a AAA career. Soundtrack top. Realistic story with many mean.

Looking at many reviews of this film makes me think that I'm at odds with American kids. The film even made watching US torture of Iraqi prisoners far more enjoyable. After two separate attempts to watch it fully after buying the DVD, I finally turned it off for the last time; with 37 minutes left that I could not face. It's boring, silly, immature rubbish that someone wrote in their coffee break.

A group of high school students reflect upon the past year and their future on the last day of school in 1976. Details the activities and interrelationships of several high school cliques. Uneven, with indifferent acting, script. None of the directorial style and sound track integration of American Graffiti. (Rating: B)

Set in the suburbs of Austin, Texas in 1976, Dazed and Confused is an updated version of American Graffiti with a bit of Animal House thrown in. It is set in the last day of school, the incoming freshmen are already being bullied by the older students with cricket bats, even the female students are being hazed. One of the seniors is trying to hold a party but his parents catch them as booze is being delivered. The film does not have much of a plot but it has a great soundtrack. It is an early work by Richard Linklater and features early roles from Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, Adam Goldbeg and Matthew McConaughey. It is an ensemble price with geeks, bullies, high school footballers, hot girls, nerdy girls, potheads, womanisers. I was never fully engaged with the movie as being from the UK, that kind of high school activity was not something I could relate to.
