Every college kid from the 80s is sure to love “Everybody
Wants Some”, Richard Linklater’s latest film.
Just as “Dazed & Confused” was a nod to the director’s high school
experience, “Everybody Wants Some” is a summation of his college years.
The opening scene takes us to a fictional Texas campus as
seen through the eyes of the film’s main star, Jake – a freshman baseball
player. Within minutes we have met the
rest of the team, and it’s a cast of characters we won’t soon forget. It wouldn’t be easy to handle such an
ensemble cast, but Linklater is the man for the job.
The soundtrack alone is enough to send everyone on a trip
back in time. The cars, the clothes, the
hair – everything is styled to perfection.
Everybody Wants Some in hilarious – and quite
nostalgic. It’s also one of the best
movies I have seen so far this year.
I had the chance to meet three of the actors from the movie a couple of weeks ago at the Kansas City premier. Super nice guys.
