Movie Review: Everybody Wants Some

Everybody Wants Some, directed by Richard Linklater ( School of Rock, Boyhood, Dazed and Confused), depicts a story of a young collegiate baseball player, who is about to enter in his freshman year of college. The film takes place in the start of the 1980s, in Texas, as the protagonist, Jake, ( Blake Jenner), meets his rowdy and free-spirited teammates in his shared team house for the year. His teammates show Jake and his fellow freshmen classmates, how to pick up girls in college, what not to do at parties, engage in some "mary jane", and some childish baseball hazing rituals that every freshman must go through to gain acceptance on the team.  Along the way, Jake encounters a girl who catches his eye, he makes it his mission to find this mystery girl , later known as Beverly in the film, and get to know her better.  Overall, the film is a great throwback to the pop culture scene in the 1980s, with amazing set designs, the props such as the "8-track music player", in the opening scene along with the cars. If you grew up in the 80s, you will definitely have nostalgic memories of your youth.  In addition, the film is shot so smoothly with its scene transition. Linklater and his crew do a great job of scene transitions in his films.  The film is approximately 2 hours, but it doesn't feel like 2 hours when watching it because the ongoing action, dancing, and funny dialogue between all of the main characters. I highly recommend this film and all should check it out at their local theaters.  My rating for this film, is a 9/10! Every Wants Some, and everybody deserves to watch this movie!

Here's some trailers from the movie!
Enjoy!
