The movie tells the stories of the last day of school in 1976 in a Texas suburb. It was shot on location in Austin, Texas. The camera dips in and out of the lives of a variety of students at the school, rather than focusing on a single individual - in a manner reminiscent of, but less extreme than, Linklater's earlier film Slacker, which was likewise shot on location in Austin.

The film paid considerable attention to period and locational detail, mostly the cars and music of the time, the soundtrack featuring rock staples of the era. It also occasionally featured a sense of melancholy, of having "missed out" by a few years on the cataclysmic events of the late 1960s.

The film's lack of apparent structure, and undemonized depiction of marijuana use, have associated it with "stoner" culture somewhat. It should be noted that the film's biggest user of marijuana is portrayed as having the world pass him by while everyone else gets on with their lives.

The film took in only $8 million at the box office, but in recent years has achieved cult film status on U.S. college campuses.
