Everybody Wants Some!!

I have the complete opposite opinion as tj. It was boring, slow, and the jokes weren't funny. Maybe if you were in your late teens/early twenties in the era of the film you'd be able to relate to it a bit and enjoy it. I lasted about half way through before I left the screening, along with a few other people. I'd recommend watching the trailer. If you watch that and think "yeh, this looks really funny" then you'll probably enjoy it. If, like me, you watched it and though "Hmm, i don't understand how this is getting 9/10s everywhere", you're probably better of missing it.

This movie is good but it doesn't compare to 'Dazed and Confused' and I'm not sure why Linklater thought it was a good idea to market it as a "spiritual sequel" to that movie. 'Everybody Wants Some!!' doesn't have that much in common with 'Dazed.' It's a fine college comedy but not much more than that. The soundtrack is great and there are a number of interesting characters, but it all almost seems like a persiflage or parody of 'Dazed.' This movie certainly lacks the realism of 'Dazed,' which makes the latter movie so brilliant in my opinion. 'Everybody Wants Some!!' is a fine comedy but it's nowhere near the masterpiece that 'Dazed and Confused' is. I think it's pretty much impossible to recreate the brilliance of that movie.
