Not a lot happens during Dazed and Confused, but the characters and their personalities are enough that it doesn't matter. This is really just a snapshot of a particularly fun night in the lives of a group of drunk and stoned, but generally good hearted, mid-70's youngsters.
Critics generally hail this as some kind of coming-of-age story, but it all feels like posturing to make it seem like they've interpreted it in some deeper fashion. It appeared to be nothing more than documenting a night out in the suburbs. The characters are all appealing in their own way, but Matthew McConaughey's "Wooderson" stood out more than the others.
This is a good movie, but its significance seems overstated. It wasn't even "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" deep.
