Last day of High School, seniors picking on Freshers, drinking beer smoking pot driving cars seeing girls. A feel good movie.

"Back to those long hot summer days of 1976. Oh me oh my. Parties at parents house. Kegs of beer being delivered out front. Those long hangovers the next day. Vomiting all over the dog. Those were the days."

"There's nothing like good psychological torture followed by bat on butt torture of 11 year olds to make an old cynical hack happy."

"Back to a world where coach is once again the most important person in your life. Oh to be a jock at High School again."

"Attitude adjustment schmuchment."

"Why 1976?"

"A pleasant flick. A movie in which one can check out the brain and know everything will turn out OK, or, if not OK, not tragically not OK."

"Bares comparison with the great James Dean movies in that it is nothing like them whatsoever. In Dean's films there was always the outside chance he would die violently. In this movie there is never any chance anyone will die, it is simply a car ride of harmlessness. That's not totally bad."

"Everything but the Jell-O wrestling that I've heard so much about."

"Busting 11 year olds by smacking their asses with a bat. Those were the good old days, before those mutts had rights and sued for abuse."

"A young Ben Affleck before anyone thought he could play the romantic lead. He busts ass. Then a tin of paint falls on his head - bested by 11 year olds, the ass smacking is no more."

"A veritable cornucopia of flipping of beer bottle caps. Magnificent control and yet is this a metaphor of how swiftly time slips through ones fingers, down ones arms and stains ones shirt so that one has to throw it out like the rest of ones early life?... What happened to the beer mat flipping? I was quite good at that."

Movie follows a group of High School students on last day of term May 1976.

The day ends.

"Did you order some kegs of beer? There's a guy out on the street with some beer kegs who said you did."

"Did any of you guys know anything about a party here tonight?" ... "No" "No," uh no."

A gin twister, with an extra twist of tortoise milk.

Pretty much like TV series Malibu would look if it was on after 9 o'clock but with a side line of butt slapping with bats.

Teenage suicide - My butt smacking years

Local High School branded beer.

Local High School branded pot.

Oh to go back to High School, it would be cool.
