[edit] Plot
The film deals with five friends who share a house (called "El Rancho") while attending art school at UC Santa Cruz. Now they are graduating, and they are struggling to delay going their separate ways.
[edit] Cast
Matt Damon has a tiny cameo as a hated ex-roommate, John Rhys-Davies plays an unscrupulous art teacher, Alyssa Milano is a friend and love interest, Matthew McConaughey is an alcoholic rental truck representative, and the role of Ben Affleck's overbearing father is played by the late Spalding Gray. There is also a small scene with Leah Remini and Brendan Fraser.
Glory Daze is notable for being such a small production featuring so many then-lesser-known actors (Affleck, Damon, Stewart, Rockwell, McConaughey, Remini, Fraser) who would all soon achieve a level of mainstream success that, in many cases, surpassed that of the cast members who were more recognizable at the time it was made (Milano, Rhys-Davies, Gray). It would be difficult (and prohibitively expensive) to reassemble the same cast again.
[edit] Soundtrack
The film is also notable for its soundtrack of contemporary, mainly Californian, skate/punk rock music, featuring an original score by The Vandals and other music by bands typical of the genre, including NOFX, Bad Religion, Tilt, The Mr. T Experience, Ednaswap, and Bouncing Souls. The soundtrack album was released on The Vandals label Kung Fu Records.
