I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

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.

Everybody Wants Some!! (2016) Drinking, girls, tunes, weed,
Named after Van Halen's song,
Watch post-credits skit.
Linklater's baseball homage,
Tribute to fun college days. Way overrated.
One dimensional players,
Need more cute couple.
Some scenes great, others boring.
Maybe if I liked baseball. Somonka is a form of poetry that is essentially two tanka poems, the second stanza a response to the first. Each stanza follows a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable pattern. Traditionally, each is a love letter. This form usually demands two authors, but it is possible to have a poet take on two personas. My somonka will be a love/hate letter to a film? #Somonka #PoemReview

Everybody wants some If you're going to do product placement in a 70's movie, you should use props that look like they're from the 70s or 80s or whenever this lame hipster movie is posing as. I wasn't even alive back then but even I can tell you Dr. Pepper soda pop cans looked different, with a bigger top; not like the current can with a smaller head and bigger body. I wouldn't have even noticed if the product placement was so obvious and had as much screen time as it did. For a time span of at least 5 minutes it seemed like half the cast and extras walking around in the streets were drinking nothing but Dr. Pepper out of cans from 30 years into the future. Anyway, the film has a high production value but no real story. It is just a series of ultra- clean and artificial scenes of what someone who as never watched a film made in the seventies thinks the seventies looked like. You can tell a lot of money was put into this film, too bad they didn't chuck-in a few dollars more and buy a decent script.

"Everybody Wants Some", written and directed by Richard Linklater, is certainly a tribute to 80s comedy and era culture. It starts out promisingly for the introductory 15 min or so setting up the place, time, and characters - 1980 Southeastern Texas College which may be fictional (I've never heard of it) pretty well. The look, costuming, and locales are done well. The problem though is this movie runs almost 2 hrs and spends over an hour of it portraying a cycling a frat-lifestyle partying over 3 or 4 days which comes off as one overlong scene. If you can manage though the semi-monotony into the last 30 min, the movie finally picks up on some good character development and love interest. This love-interest should've been put in the first quarter or third of the run-time and more the focus. I liked the movie for its homage, and although it did have several funny parts its strength might've been served in more drama rather than repetitive antics. 6/10 - mixed.
