Made in the 90s but based in the mid 70s...76 I think...it's basically about the last day of school, high school for some, grade 8 for others. I would expect I probably would have enjoyed it a bit more if I was around in the 70s...or graduating in the 70s...but I do appreciate it, and I've heard from talking to people who did graduate mid 70s that the movie is pretty spot on. Favourite character would have to be Slater...the pot head played by Rory Cochrane.
Fun fact of the day...in this movie the word 'man' was said just over 200 times (I would guess 80% of those were from Slater :P) and the word 'fuck' just over 60.
Matthew McConaughey makes a creepy appearance as an old graduate...I'm sorry, but I find him so disgusting...his little blonde mustache, ugh it's just so gross.
I kinda liked that his character was there though...him being the old graduate, hanging out with the new graduates, hanging out with the soon-to-be freshmen...it was kinda neat. And alotta fun. The movie was just fun...
With a kick ass classic rock (well, now classic rock) soundtrack consisting of Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Bob Dylan, Nazareth, Black Sabbath, The Runaways, Kiss, Foghat etc.
Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and it was funny without being overly cheesy which I can imagine would be very easy for that type of movie.
