Dazed and Confused may be the classic high school movie. It is filled with inappropriate behavior and terrible attitudes - and it is both very funny and remarkably true to life.
"Every one of these characters is completely familiar and recognizable.... There are too many wonderful performances to cite individually here but stand-outs include [Rory] Cochrane as the stoned doper, [Wiley] Wiggins as the young initiate, [Marisa] Ribisi as the not-unattractive smart girl who knows that there's got to be something more out there and [Matthew] McConaughey as the post-high school has-been who can't get high school out of his blood. His is a character we're all too familiar with in the movies but McConaughey nails this guy without a hint of condescension or whimsy, claiming this character for all time as his own."--Marjorie Baumgarten, The Austin Chronicle
"the ultimate party movie — loud, crude, socially irresponsible and totally irresistible."--Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
With the caveat that it is rated R for a reason, this film is very highly recommended.
