Review of Everybody Wants Some!! (2016) by Steven S — 21 Apr 2016
An interesting blend and return to the beginnings for Richard Linklater making Everybody Wants Some!!!!! which is equally a follow up of sorts to Dazed and Confused as a love letter to the 80's instead of the 70's right down to the authentic clothes, games and dressings for the period along with a killer soundtrack, and tossing in some Porky's/Animal House for equal measure as he tracks the just assembled University baseball team as they bond and push each others buttons as they get ready for their first year together as a unit in school while playing, drinking and chasing girls.
What makes this film great as well is it is more cerebral and philisophical than you might expect a film of this ilk to be considering some of its predecessors are more the gross out or ackward in tone.
This one is a love letter to the days of yore with eccentric characters that totally win you over. Totally one of the initial gems for the calendar year of 2016 and hopefully it will find a huge audience amidst all the blockbusters.
