Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Glory Daze
A last-year-of-college tale centering on Jack, a cynical know-it-all who wants to cling to his care-free years because he's too afraid to go into the real world. This is a college film that most resembles what I think the college experience is like because it tells the tale from the viewpoint of the average guys, not the frat boys, jocks or nerds.
--Sean Stangland, Resident Scholar
