One of the 90s BEST comedies

Richard Linklater movies are often funny in the way your best group of friends were in high school… only more so. Personalities bounce back and forth, and laughs are elicited less from set-pieces than the authentic rhythms of characters who either know each other well or not at all. Circumstance takes a backseat to those relationships in Linklater’s first masterpiece, Dazed and Confused. There are certainly efforts to draw out pure humor, namely from the presence of Matthew McConaughey in his breakout role (“high school girls…” is more widely quoted but I’ve always been partial to his delivery of “it’d be a lot cooler if you did”). But a lot of the comedy in Dazed derives from an understanding between the audience and the film, those moments that pop up as they do in real life. Linklater’s filmography is full of this aching authenticity materialized as charm and wit. With Dazed and Confused he told us something about the pains and pleasures of growing up, but only after the keg ran out and the last joint made its way around the circle.
