Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It is a performances centric movie

Highly Overrated But Still Good

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Any one who a had a social life as a student at U.C. Santa Cruz, will love this movie. This movie was very poignant for me having spent my own college years doing the same exact stuff portrayed in the movie. It has just really helped me (nearly 10 years later) to find a bit of closure with what the heck happened back then during the greatest time of my life! I feel the acting was genuinely good. Ben really made the best out of this role. I can tell that the writer/director banged out enough background info. for the actors, so that they could know exactly how their characters should act. I love the scenes of Santa Cruz and especially liked the bus scene between Ben Affleck, Lhea Remini, and Brendan Frasier. Not only was Brendan dressed like I was back then, but I swear, I think, I had a convo. on the bus with a girlfriend while waiting for the damn train to pass, too. Yeah, every bus ride was an adventure! There is a strong moral in the movie, it's hard to find but it can be gleaned from any college graduate. Freedom from Fear leads to a Fear from Freedom. As for any banana slugs out there, save this movie when your thirty and you'll completely realize why you did what you did, and how Santa Cruz will always be on your mind. That's a good thing I believe, because we lived in a very special place that seems to create amazingly talented and successful people. John Garcia -Class of '95 U.C.

I wish I would of came on here to see some of the ratings off this movie before actually watching it. Some people actually liked it which I am surprised but I guess everyone has their own opinions. I think this movie is very poor and do not recommend it to anyone. This movie I thought would be about teen life and the steps taken when you face the real world but all I saw was confusing story lines that went nowhere. This movie is not funny or entertaining at all. It is dull with boring dialogue and not worth seeing to the very least. If you wish to see a movie about stupid teens watch Dazed and Confused. Comparing this to Dazed and Confushed is a huge difference. Dazed and confused is a much better movie and I recommend to see that and never to see this. I rate this movie a 2/10. I give it a 2 instead of a 1 because I actually managed to watch the whole thing.

self-righteous boys run around and act stupid, stereotype women and generally annoy me. wants to be a punk rock animal house with heart, but falls amazingly short. brendan fraser and spaulding gray have memorable small appearances, but not even that can save this film.

Remember that one period in your life that you wanted to last forever? Or perhaps that era of your life is now. God, on the outside, "Glory Daze" is a crude, depressing movie. However, it is my all time favorite because it is more than just a mere movie. It is what most movie makers dream of making: something entertaining, yet so substantial that you can't help but say "whoa" as the impact of what happens hits you. "Life is ever-changing," it says to you, "and we all try to stop it from changing at some point, but then we realize that we can't and find it better just to move on and continue to live."
