Everybody Wants Some!!

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Nostalgic in the best sense, Everybody Wants Some!! finds Richard Linklater ambling through the past with a talented cast, a sweetly meandering story, and a killer classic rock soundtrack.

B-
While Everybody Wants Some!! isn't a great movie, there is something comforting about its predictability, self-awareness, and ability to basically recapture the plot of every single end-of-school-year/beginning-of-school-year teen/early 20s storyline. Go to Full Review

3/4
The movie respects its audience in a way few of these coming-of-age comedies ever do, and while not a home run for Linklater, it's still a solid triple off the wall I'm certain to still be cheering for throughout the remainder of 2016. Go to Full Review

3/5
There's no storyline. The script just drifts from one vignette to the next as the boys cruise around, ogling girls, haunting the campus night spots and staging a party while their house does its best to remain standing under their assaults. Go to Full Review

A meandering, conversational, yet completely rewatchable joy of masculine college innocence. Go to Full Review

…even if the sports movie is a generally a turn-off for you, there’s lots here to enjoy, from a young, hip cast to a typically eclectic soundtrack… Go to Full Review

In spite of its somewhat domesticated style, the film doesn't suffer from fascinating internal tensions. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Eric W @RandlePMcMurphy 1h Literally about nothing. Just some college guys practicing baseball and partying, nothing else. See more jayme S @RT14983225 1d Tries sooooooooooooo hard to be a 80’s movie. Was so embarrassed by this!!!!!!!! Movie sucked. So ashamed!!!! Trying to be a cult movie and it wasn’t, all!!!!!!!!!! Not even one bit funny. Y See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 16 Everybody Wants Some!! is a laid-back, carefree comedy built around a large ensemble of up-and-coming young actors playing college baseball players, though the film barely focuses on baseball itself. Instead, it follows their early days on campus, navigating parties, girls, ego clashes, drugs, and nonstop banter. There’s no heavy plot, no deep drama, and nothing meant to be taken seriously. This is a vibe movie through and through, leaning into goofy humor and a hazy, hangout-style structure that feels lifted straight from a stoner-era mindset. It’s fun, dumb, and intentionally aimless. If you go in expecting a meaningful sports film or a cinematic masterpiece, you’ll be disappointed. But if you want an easygoing, quirky comedy about college excess and youthful chaos, it delivers exactly what it promises. See more John J. @CaptainJack2026 Jan 2 This is without question one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I didn't think I'd ever find a movie less enjoyable than "Do they Serve Beer in Hell?" but this movie might actually compete. There are absolutely zero redeeming qualities. None of the jokes are funny. The acting is horrible and corny. There is no discernable plot. The flirting with women is nausea inducing. The music is good I guess? If you are a boomer. The only conceivable way to enjoy this movie is it gives someone an excuse to live a toxic male fantasy of being a douchey college athlete. For the shocking number of people who somehow find enjoyment in this movie please tell me a single line or scene that you found to contain a single ounce of comedy because I fail to think of a single example. 0/10 See more Lucas B. @lukekhowsbest Dec 15 Super solid movie. Classic Linklater. Nothing to write home about but must watch and very solid addition to Linklaters collection. See more Jayson M @RT36523092 Nov 9 One of my favorite movies. Great cast, fun story about kids just having a great time. This it the movie I put on when I want to smile and it is a movie that just makes you feel good. I know many consider Dazed and Confused Linklater's mater piece but I think this movie is it. Highly recommended. See more Read all reviews
