This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

My wife laughs when I enjoy cheap B movies. I deleted it after the first 5 minutes. That says a lot!

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.

This movie was refreshingly light, fun and intelligent. Even the tension in the movie felt fun and easy. Not all movies have to have blood and cursing to be interesting. It reminded me of the innocence and fun we had in the early 80's the easiness of everything despite our reckless behavior. The music, the outfits, Disco and the attitude all contributed to what the early 80's was about. This movie didn't try to overdo things and it made me smile. I loved the characters and the pranks. I'm so tired of movies that feel they must constantly have to insert unnecessary violence and language... it's stressful... can't we just have a movie that just reminds us how fun it was to be young and without the worries and stresses of being in the adult world. Winner for me!

Overall great film, great representation of the early 80's. Explores themes of friendship, brotherhood, and just being young and having fun. Great performances all-around. Richard Linklater has knack for making films with heart and nostalgia and he succeeds in doing so with this film. The soundtrack is amazing which coincides with the story very well.
