Reviews for Remember the Daze
[Director Jess] Manafort aims for Dazed and Confused, but falls well short of Can't Hardly Wait.
Mostly, though, Remember the Daze is a set of largely plotless scenes showing teens trying to score either sex or drugs, with no particularly profound point to any of it.
Ultimately, the ensemble of more than 20 featured characters seems as vapid as the intentionally caricatured adults who pop up on occasion. Where are this decade’s John Hugheses? Or even the Cameron Crowes?
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.
This dreck can’t even hold a candle to Can’t Hardly Wait and prompts the question: Where’s this generation’s Lloyd Dobler?
