100One of the most exciting movies of this, or any other, year. It's smart, funny, and wonderfully crafted and performed.
-
It's a highly enjoyable spree that doesn't add up to a whole lot by the end. But you don't necessarily want it to add up to anything -- that's part of its charm. [24 Sept 1993]

80Despite some gags which use the benefit of hindsight too much for their own good, this is a smart piece of filmmaking which suggests Linklater is already one of the more formidable talents of the 90s.
-
60Expertly captures the details and textures of the time without condescending or lapsing into cheap-shot parody.
