Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Dec 7, 2004
Pros: Funny depiction of 70s life with a cast of early stars
Cons: The plot and a lot of drug use
Summary: I have one friend that is slightly out of touch. He still thinks Poison will return to rule the earth and is convinced that cinema reached its apex with the release of the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic Universal Soldier. Needless to say, I don't put much ... read more

Pros: Relatable in many respects, less overblown and more realistically-constrained than other high school movies.
Cons: Still pretty one-dimensional for the most part, a little too ambiguous for this reviewer.
Summary: May 28, 1976. It's the last day of school, and the juniors (who will be seniors the next year) are getting ready to haze the incoming freshmen. They engage in all sorts of humiliating acts, from the guys beating incoming freshmen boys with paddles ... read more

Pros: Funny "slice of life" film filled with "before they were stars"; Great soundtrack
Cons: Heavy drug content, profanity and sexual innuendo likely to offend some
Summary: In 1993, I was a fifteen year old who enjoyed classic rock and shopping at thrift stores for vintage gear. Naturally, I saw Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused several times after it came out that year. Not having seen the movie in a few years, ... read more

Pros: Funny, Entertaining, Honest, Authentic, Well Acted, Well Made, Fantastic Soundtrack
Cons: May be a little too honest for some people. Takes a while to get going.
Summary: Not only did I originally plan to see this film for the wrong reasons, but I was also lead to believe that I was watching it for the right reasons before I watched it. Like a lot of people, before watching the film I looked it up on Imdb, where many ... read more

Pros: Excellent characters, great sound track, authentic feel
Cons: None
Summary: Good movies about high school are hard to come by nowadays, the 80's had John Hughes but since they ended good movies about high school are few and far between. Sure there's Superbad but for everyone of those we have to endure countless brainless films ... read more

Pros: meticulous detail; convincing naturalism; excellent structure that capably juggles 20 characters
Cons: it saddens me that I wasn't a 70s high school football player in Texas
Summary: Calling this a “stoner movie” is like saying “The Searchers” is about horses. Sure, there’s enough toking here to appeal to the “Half Baked” crowd, and some may appreciate this movie for lightweight “That ... read more

Pros: great story line, lots of well known stars
Cons: none
Summary: While I did not grow up in the 70's, I have heard and seen enough to know what it was like. People say bell bottoms were the rage and that bongs were in. If this is the case, then "Dazed and Confused" gets a high mark for staying on track with the ... read more

Pros: The rad double-disc collector's package we've all been waiting for.
Cons: If you're looking for interviews with Milla Jovovich, I hate to disappoint you.
Summary: Throughout the years, it has become evident that Universal never really knew what to do with DAZED & CONFUSED (Universal Pictures; rated R for drug use involving teenagers and strong language throughout; 103 mins.; released September 24, 1993). ... read more

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.
Summary: I’ve seen this movie so many times that I cannot remember why I watched in the first place. I am pretty sure it would be save to assume that the appealing tie dye crazy cover has a lot to do with me watching this movie for the first time. Being a ... read more

Cons: The DVD isn't anything special.

Pros: The best feel good movie of all time.
Cons: There is a lot of swear words, and too much drug use.
Summary: Dazed and Confused is one of the greatest movies of all time. The writing and acting is incredible. Dazed and Confused launched the careers of Ben Affleck as Fred O'Bannion and Mathew McConaughey as David Wooderson. These two great actors gave ... read more

Pros: Jason London
Cons: Guys with long hair
Summary: When I saw Dazed and Confused several years ago, I automatically labeled it as one of my favorite movies. Although the movie mainly takes place in one day, it keeps the audience glued to the television anticipating what will happen next. By having the ... read more

Pros: Great soundtrack, witty writing...
Cons: None really.
Summary: Everyonce in a while, Hollywood makes a film that is funny, smart, a bit different and ground breaking. While many professional critics might disagree with me, I feel that Dazed and Confused is one of those great films. I guess the number one knock ... read more

Pros: Hidden contempt for the aimlessness of seventies high schoolers, fine anthropology
Cons: Poor acting, cardboard characters, hokey soundtrack
Summary: Instead of reading it as a loving elegy for the bygone days of the mid-1970s, like I think most people do, I read Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused" as a condemnation, not of the era per se, but of the generation that survived it. And by ... read more

Pros: Acting, writing, directing, tone
Cons: May seem "jumpy" at times
Summary: The year is 1976, and it’s the last day of school. Thus begins Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused, a new kind of teenage film that tries to show a truthful, fun, and sometimes poignant look at the 70’s teen scene.
The film can be called a ... read more

Pros: Takes you back to the partying scene of high school teens
Cons: Not something for small children

Pros: This Movie will probably bring back memories of how high school was in the 70's.
Cons: It goes by very slow and some of it was pretty unrealistic.
Summary: Watching this movie all the way through is like trying to sit still when you really have to pee. There was not really any plot, The movie went by really, really slow,I honestly could not even sit through the whole thing without taking a break during the ... read more

Pros: Great way to show the coming of age of the teenage-era in the 70's
Cons: Language, content and story line are raw, so may not be approp. for youngsters
Summary: First off let me say that this is one of my favorite movies of all time. My friends and I can sit around and just laugh and laugh even if it is the 34th time we've seen it. We can relate people we graduated with to characters in the movie, or places ... read more

Pros: accurate portrayal of youth, engaging setting, humorous, honest
Cons: Ignored at the box office, Richard Linklater not given more projects because of this.
Summary: I stumbled across this little gem while in my sophomore year of college. Having had a relatively crappy high school career, I always clung toward those films that tried to portray high school in an honest, realistic, yet fun light. Easier said than ... read more
