Please don't spend money on this.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Everybody Wants Some!!4 Out Of 5Everybody Wants Some!! is a character driven hilarious drama about a new add-on to the group of guys who blends in before the college even starts. First and foremost, it's a Linklater movie; it's sassy, it's 80's, it's a revelation. His nature of seeking out its selective audience may have grown habitual to them but everytime he pulls out the rabbit from the hat, it leaves them in an awe of it with such mature ideology that it makes you think twice. The writing is smart, gripping, adaptive, elaborative and just plain fun throughout the course of it. Linklater's world may feel sketchy visually but its three dimensional characters (despite each of them are identified with a specific property, it somehow managed to achieve it) keeps it grounded. The music is seductive and the songs are up beating that elevates the momentum at its best; the boys singing on the car and the disco themed dance, it hits the perfect anticipated note. The costumes and the hair-styles and the accent and the references in each conversation; every little aspect of it demands attention; it is a delight to encounter such a breezy feature. The performance objective is the only weakness in here and don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it just isn't palpable to its strong writing. Linklater; the writer-director, has never been so robust and raw where the structure of the script may be transparent, but what a sight it is; pure elegance. The mannerism of the bonding, a conversation from the scratch and layered thought provoking policy are the high points of the feature that helps it enter the major league. Everybody Wants Some!! is something that not everybody gets but if taken seriously and read between the lines, you might find your mind blown away in its poetic tone.

In 1980, a group of college baseball players navigate their way through the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood. THE END That´s it, there is no story, no plot at all. I watched this movie, because I saw Blake Jenner in "Billy Boy", where he did a good job, although the movie itself is rather mediocre. This one , however, was a complete waste of time, unless you like to watch a bunch of frat boys getting wasted, smoking weed and doing all kind of stupid things, avoid this at any cost.

Haven't seen dazed and confused, but this movie is awesome. waiting for the next.

Another really enjoyable Linklater film - very different to 'Boyhood' and almost a sequel to the high school-set 'Dazed and Confused' - 'Everybody Wants Some!!' is the story of college, as seen through the eyes of baseball pitcher Jake (Jenner). He has it pretty good - an off-campus dorm (not quite a fraternity) at an unnamed Texas university, where he and his teammates pretty much have free reign. The film's set in 1980 and looks the piece - great cars, crap hair, dodgy fashion, mo's everywhere. Plus, the music!The soundtrack is exceptional, and I imagine if you were of the right age in 1980, it would take you straight back there - The Knack, Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Parliament, Blondie, Queen, Pink Floyd, Devo and, of course, Van Halen, with the eponymous song. There's plenty of fun and plenty of characters, with the teammates going to three different parties in three nights before classes commence - but the film's not all about drugs, sex and alcohol - although they're quite prevalent. It's really about finding out who you are or want to be as a young adult and along with the quips, jokes and games, there's a few nice philosophical moments thrown in - plenty courtesy of Finnegan (Powell) and Dale (Johnson).Beverly (Deutch) is a nice love interest and it's great to see most of the dozen characters get a decent airing. A few oddballs for the laughs, but plenty of realistic college-age pastimes too. There's no real focus on baseball other than for about 15min, which is good. It's a good cross between 'Bad Neighbours' and 'Animal House', with not as much outrageousness, but a fair bit of heart. The film's probably 20min too long, but it's still enjoyable with a good ending.
