Full review

This film was made in the last years of the classic "teen movie" era. in 1993 director Richard Linklater (also known for Empire records and Slacker) made an excellent film, set in 1976. It was the last day of high school in a small texas town. The seniors are preparing for a big party while "introducing" the freshman. The freshman girls are humiliated and covered in sauces and the freshman boys are physically beaten with bats(its funny). One of these freshman "Mitch Kramer"(Wiley Wiggins) realises he is the main target for seniors "introduction". one of the seniors "Randall "pink" Floyd"(Jason London) picks up mitch after his "after baseball match beating" and introduces him properly to the high school flow. With the biggest beer bust party of the year.
It follows different seniors and freshman through the day and makes you really feel what its like to be a 70's kid.
This film is a little confusing and seems to have no plot at all, but if you watch it twice you will see there is a lot more underneath the things you see.
It has Young stars like:
Ben affleck
Milla Jovovich
Adam Goldberg
Rory Cochrane
and in the end a great story.
The DVD has subtitles(as it is quite old there are little features)
i think this film is really great and it brings you back in time to experiance and excellent era.
sex, drugs and rock'n'roll!
