The comedy Everybody Wants Some is the latest film by Richard Linklater, the director and screenwriter who last delighted us with a film that transcends the limitations of the feature film, the drama Boyhood. In his latest film, he combines elements of two of his previous films, Dazed and Confused and Bad News Bears. Everybody Wants Some is a sort of spiritual successor to the former, paying homage to the 70s, while the latest film is set in the 80s.
Director Richard Linklater, who gave us masterpieces such as the "trilogy" Before Dawn, Before Sunset and Before Midnight, this time presents himself with a film Everybody Wants Some, a comedy set in the eighties, which revolves around a college basketball team that finds its way to adulthood through women, marijuana, alcohol, and going down stairs on a mattress.
It can be argued that the comedy Everybody Wants Some didn't take Linklater 12 years as Boyhood years, but the film is a kind of spiritual successor to his film Dazed and Confused (1993). One of the main actors even bears a slight resemblance to the character from the aforementioned film, Wooderson, played by the then unknown Matthew McConaughey (True Detective). This is not the case in this film, but that's why there is a lot of "grass".
