Description of Dazed & Confused (Widescreen Flashback Edition):
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

All right, all right, all right 
2009-10-15 - what a fantastic movie! i have watched this dvd too many times to count and it never gets old. the setting: summer of 1976. going into their senior year, a group of teens have to deal with all sorts of problems. from football to freshman running for cover to the party at the moon tower. this film is a definate must see!
Great movie
2009-08-19 - Great movie from the 90's. You don't see stuff like this anymore in the movies with all these antismoking laws. Excellent acting! Good plot.
A Nostalgia Flick for Braws. 
2009-07-19 - After hearing so many good things about this film, I was surprised by how god awful it was. What I find even more surprising is how many people don't mind admitting their favorite movie is about sex crazed high school jocks who ride around town searching for young, adolescent boys so they can give them a good homoerotic spanking. If you spent your high school career as a football star nursing a secret crush on a 13 year old pre-pubescent boy, you'll want to pick up this nostalgic gem immediately. It'll remind you of the good old days.
Prompt Delivery
2009-07-13 - The delivery was prompt as promised. Cute Movie, reminds me of when I was growing up in the 70's.
Good
2009-07-09 - Bought this dvd for my brother in law's birthday. He asked for this dvd and I couldn't find it anywhere in stores. Found it online at several different websites, but Amazon.com was definately the cheapest.
