Title: Dazed and Confused Junk
Product review: I was expecting a lot from this movie, having seen and enjoyed Linklater's earlier film SLACKER . But DAZED AND CONFUSED (no Led Zep anywhere!) just rambles without end, a near-complete bore. The subplot involving the bully who hazes unsuspecting freshmen is funny but smacks of Hollywood more than anything else.It is possible to make a film showing bored and shiftless people marking time. It's difficult, but it can be done (I recommend L'AVVENTURA). DAZED AND CONFUSED has no organic tension, none of the characters possesses the individuality necessary to make us care for him/her, and the story itself leaves us no more enlightened than we were before.Bubba
