I love this movie so much. At the age of 15 or so, I loved this along with Dazed and Confused and Clerks and Mallrats, but more than those other slacker/youth culture films, this movie and its characters felt like me and my friends. It felt like who we were and what were going through and it felt like who we wanted to be when we were older. (or more accurately: who we thought we would be).

Also: best cast in a movie ever?

Also: this movie makes Santa Cruz look so goddamn cool and I'm always a little let down when I go there and it's not as fun as this movie.
