This movie isn't even sophomoric; it's freshmanic.

Rated: 1.5/4

[Director Jess] Manafort aims for Dazed and Confused, but falls well short of Can't Hardly Wait.

New York Times

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?

Rated: 2/5

Boxoffice Magazine

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.

Rated: 2/5

L.A. Weekly

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.

What an idiotic stoner flick with no real plot. I cannot recommend this to anyone.

Filme ruim, o roteiro é ruim, o elenco é bacaninha mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e as cenas são ruins, o filme não tem nenhuma cena relevante e boa para alavancar o filme, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.

I think while this movie doesn't exactly follow the same storyline as other movies and isn't exactly clear it is still a great movie. People in todays societies watch movies with such a judgmental eye and they like to criticize things that aren't the status quo. This movie while not having that clear of story uses real life teen issues to convey messages that run deeper and require the viewer to think. If you don't like this movie try watching it from not only a teens perspective but also try and look for the deep messages that occur throughout the movie.

Tries so hard to be Dazed and Confused, instead it is just awful and unfunny. I can't believe someone at a movie studio actually gave someone money to make this after reading the script. I wonder if they were trying to make garbage since the cast has so many talented actors that went on to become huge award winning stars. The only good thing about this movie is that it can show young director or writer just starting out that Hollywood will still give out chances but since the writer and director of this movie hasn't made another movie since, they don't give out second chances if you make something this awful.

A perfect look into a day in the life of a 90's teen. It captures the feeling that nothing matters and there's no point to anything that so many 90's teens experienced better than any movie I've ever seen.
