Before you get excited about a cast that includes the likes of Brendan Fraser, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Damon and Leah Remini, "The King of Queens" , let it be stated for the record that the sum total of screen time for these four players is something in the region of three minutes.

At the time they were marked as new talent to be watched; before they became stars. College comedies tend to be crude and downright stupid. While "Glory Daze" does have it's moments of such things it is redeemed by some good ensemble playing. Being the story of a bunch of guys renting a house it's crucial that the bond between the characters of this disparate group be palpable. In this, director Rich Wilkes has succeeded. While dealing with the serious issue of making decisions which will affect the rest of one's life, "Glory Daze" remains light, never losing sight of what it set out to be; a fun movie.

While it's not a whole lot of fun, it is watchable. It also has a wacky, liberal professor, who just can't stop dropping his contempt of Reagan and the military industrial complex into his lectures; a crotchety old baseball coach who only cares about the team and continually drops life lessons that all involve a whorehouse; and a hard-partying fraternity that doesn't play by the rules and cares only about having fun.

Similarly, the '80s setting has less to do with anything organic and more to do with the fact that the creators seem to enjoy the culture of the time and want to think that simply saying the words "William F. Buckley" is good for a laugh. Michael J. Fox was Alex P. Keaton, indeed. Central character Joel is the kind of kid who's been aimed toward college his whole life.

He's not an exceptional student, but he's a pretty good one, and his dad the cameo-ing Brad Garrett wants him to keep his eyes on the prize. In remarkably short order, however, the combination of a too-dorky-to-be-believed roommate, a hot girl sitting next to him in his first class, and a crew of friends who want to rush various houses take him off the path of serious studying he has set for himself and toward becoming a member of a fraternity.

If you were asked to place a bet on whether Joel would join the ultra-conservative and straitlaced fraternity he first visits or the hard-partying slobs who know how to have fun he visits next, nearly every single one of you would win the bet. There's little to no drama in the pilot for Glory Daze because the essence of the story is like a passion play at this point, where we know all of the steps the characters have to hit and the only drama involved is in whether or not the writers and directors come up with a new way to tell us the same basic story all over again.

So if Glory Daze suffers from an acute lack of originality that cripples it from the word go, at least it has assembled a solid cast. Rather than fill up the roster with actors you've seen before outside of Garrett and David Kochener in cameos and Tim Meadows as the liberal professor , the main roles of the college kids are all played by virtual unknowns, and the cast is fairly strong for this sort of thing.

Leaving the strongest impression is Callard Harris as Reno, who plays a pledge recruiter for the ne'er-do-wells at Omega Sigma which will presumably be the central setting for the series. There is not a whole lot to the role, except that it interestingly plays on a lot of what Matthew McConaughey would coast on in later years. This short scene in Glory Daze is like watching the birth of a million Matthew McConaughey tics, and as a result it becomes the most purely fascinating part of the movie from a film history perspective.

Glory Daze is a forgotten breeding ground for a lot of future stars, and it is kind of interesting when you watch it from that perspective.
