Critic Reviews

Variety - Peter Debruge

As high school zeitgeist stories go, Remember the Daze holds no great secrets or revelations, no iconic characters or “American Pie”-style set pieces, but it demonstrates considerable promise on the part of its director and her up-and-coming cast. Read full review

The New York Times - Laura Kern

A generally entertaining but half-baked variation on Richard Linklater’s high school period piece, “Dazed and Confused” (made in 1993, set in 1976), Remember the Daze (set in 1999) takes its cue from the earlier film in an excess of ways. Read full review

New York Daily News - Elizabeth Weitzman

The original title of Jess Manafort's directorial debut was "The Beautiful Ordinary," and she shouldn't have changed it. After all, her cast is beautiful and her movie is ordinary. Read full review

L.A. Weekly - Ella Taylor

Remember the Daze has the irony-free, instant-nostalgia earnestness of your high school yearbook, but watching it is not likely to conjure your own youthful emotions -- it’s more like flipping through the generic memories of a complete stranger. Read full review

New York Post - Kyle Smith

We keep waiting for a story, or at least some comedy, but none ever materializes. The dialogue makes Algebra II seem fascinating by comparison. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Bob Baker

If you swiped the most insipid dialogue of the teenage-angst movies of John Hughes and Kevin Smith and Amy Heckerling, you would still have a script -- and a movie -- far superior to the newest of the genre, Remember the Daze. Read full review

Not quite the next gen "Dazed and Confused" like they obviously set out to achieve but it's not an absolutely dreadful watch. Perfect movie to watch with a girlfriend because you only will end up watching half of it anyway.
