"Dazed and Confused" is a funny, iconic, and slightly above average coming-of-age teen comedy.

Now this is what you call a feel good movie. Dazed and Confused takes place in the year 1976 the last day of school. all the stoner, jock, nerds and other people; having a unforgettable night of there lives.

Richard Linklater is a great director, because he understands certain age groups. He almost never delivers a cliché in his movies, sparking something inventive, yet staying true to the genre of the film. And Dazed and Confused, is a true genre film.

Me and my "loser" friends, you know, we gotta get Aerosmith tickets. Top priority of the summer. Oh, and Coach, I forgot. I might play ball. But I will never sign that!"
