Everybody Wants Some!!

(2016) dir Richard Linklater w/Blake Jenner, Juston Street, Ryan Guzman, Tyler Hoechlin, Wyatt Russell, Glen Powell, Temple Baker, J. Quinton Johnson, Zoey Deutch [117 min; DCP]

Linklater’s sequel-in-spirit to DAZED & CONFUSED draws on his own experiences of the first week in college. Blake Jenner plays Jake, a freshman pitcher for Texas State, who, along with his fellow baseball teammates, navigates the landscape of unsupervised proto-adulthood that college provides. A throwback to raunchy, 80s teen comedies with a sentimental heart and a soul grounded in reality, EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! is a raucous good time.
