My wife laughs when I enjoy cheap B movies. I deleted it after the first 5 minutes. That says a lot!

I'm pretty sure I wasn't the target audience for this, as I am one of the few people who "Dazed and Confused" failed to charm when I first saw it... Alright! Alright? Alright.I suppose the 70's setting of its spiritual forerunner was mildly interesting, but 20+ years later, when the focus shifts to the 80's, one would have hoped that its worldview - self absorbed stoners searching for chicks - would be seen as passe...The central relationship is fairly cute, but it doesn't get much attention, because the film seems besotted by the yahoos that surround them, instead....I would pass, on whatever it is that this is selling. It's a serious case of arrested development, and you've got to grow up, sometime!

Everybody wants some If you're going to do product placement in a 70's movie, you should use props that look like they're from the 70s or 80s or whenever this lame hipster movie is posing as. I wasn't even alive back then but even I can tell you Dr. Pepper soda pop cans looked different, with a bigger top; not like the current can with a smaller head and bigger body. I wouldn't have even noticed if the product placement was so obvious and had as much screen time as it did. For a time span of at least 5 minutes it seemed like half the cast and extras walking around in the streets were drinking nothing but Dr. Pepper out of cans from 30 years into the future. Anyway, the film has a high production value but no real story. It is just a series of ultra- clean and artificial scenes of what someone who as never watched a film made in the seventies thinks the seventies looked like. You can tell a lot of money was put into this film, too bad they didn't chuck-in a few dollars more and buy a decent script.

As a huge fan of Dazed and Confused, yes, I actually saw it first in a movie theater, this movie stunk so bad I can't believe it actually got released at all. Even the out-take rap video at the end sucked so bad. Some of the lines were good and the music was spot on, but who wrote this movie really? Were they professional writers or high school kids? I kept going back and looking for something positive to say and I honestly can't think of a thing. Oh, the 442 was cool. If this is all you got left in your Rich, time to hang up your spurs. Really...
