This was a really cool movie. In my opinion, even though it was a different time and styles and rituals were different in those days (if seniors tried publicly paddling freshman today, they'd probably go to jail), I think that kids today can relate to Dazed and Confused. I don't mean everything, but little things.
This is just a fun movie to watch. There's a lot of good music (Alice Cooper and Aerosmith!), and the kids are all very believable. At first I thought the whole seniors hanging out with freshman at parties was total bulls**t, but I soon came to realize that it very well can happen (although I didn't have to get my ass paddled first). I also liked the fact that the movie wasn't just about getting stoned, even though that is a lot of the movie. I thought at first the whole movie was just gonna be 90 minutes of kids taking bong hits, but that actually isn't a very big part of the movie.
I think my favorite characters in this movie are Slater and Wooderson. Slater was just funnier than hell, and Wooderson was like this cool guy who was also kind of a scum bag, but he seemed so innocent about trying to pick up younger chicks. Wooderson's classic line in this movie was "that's what i like about these freshman girls... I get older, they stay the same age". I love it. It's a little creepy, yet really funny too. I also liked Pink (partially because his name his Pink Floyd). I thought he was a good character. He is like the popular guy that everyone in school likes.
My only problems with this movie was that there was no Pink Floyd (there were dark side of the moon posters everywhere, but no Floyd), and no Zeppelin. I could have swore they were going to play the song 'Dazed and Confused', but no dice. Other than that I loved it. It was really funny, and I can't say this from experience, but all the people i asked that went ot high school in the 70's said it was fairly accurate. I can say it was accurate in capturing high school kid's in general. A great flick! 10/10
