Query: Boring

The director certainly captured the look and sounds of suburbia circa 1976 with the soundtrack and wardrobe. I'll give him credit there. However, the one thing this movie really needed was a good story with characterization. It just never took off. We follow several groups of teenagers on their last day of school as they roam aimlessly around town getting high and acting like idiots. You never really get a chance to learn more about these kids so you can at least like them. Instead, we are presented with several unmemorable "main" characters who never quite get developed. Was it the disgruntled high school quarterback or the freshman Mitch? This movie has a hard time deciding. If you want a good 70's nostalgia movie I'd recommend "Detroit Rock City" or even "Over the Edge" which was actually filmed in 1979! Both of these movies have interesting stories and characters set against the backdrop of the late 70's. Both are worth purchasing. Dazed and Confused, on the other hand, is just a renter.
