Dazed And Confused was patterned...You're right. Dazed And Confused was patterned on this film. It might have left this reviewer non-plussed, but it has been influential enough to inspire every set-in-the-seventies teen film since. How could it not when it is soaked in that mid-seventies aesthetic, which also makes it function well as a period piece.<br />The Pom Pom Girls is about the girls, not their cheerleading. Okay, so a deep and meaningful story with lots of subtext it doesn't have. But it never promised to either. It's a story of high school hijinks, so it should only be judged on that basis, in which case it succeeds. You don't drive a luxury car and complain that it doesn't handle as taut as a sports car.Varnsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102460227264259285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-73087476889654897952015-11-01T14:22:16.243-08:002015-11-01T14:22:16.243-08:00I thought this movie was incredibly enjoyable.
