Think off slacker but in another setting and with an actually small plot.
Its characters are charming as hell and the dialogue is a natural evolution from slacker.
Dazed and Confused
It was the last day of school in 1976. A time they'd never forget. (If only they could remember)

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sun-drenched, episodic ramble through one perfect summer afternoon where nothing life-altering happens, and that's exactly the point. Linklater captures the specific ache of adolescence as a series of small moments and conversations that feel like they'll matter forever.

Reviews
The soundtrack is so good, and Milla Jovavich is so hot.
This is a classic, and I get that, but I wanted more of the women and less of the guys with paddles, and I wanted Sabrina and Mitch to end up together. Also the credits should have done that thing where it tells you where the characters end up.
