Richard Linklater writes and directs this comedy drama about a group of college freshmen baseball players in the ’80s. In the finals days of summer leading up to the start of college in Texas, promising pitcher Jake (Blake Jenner) plans to enjoy his last moments of freedom before studies begin. Forced to share a house with his teammates, including alpha male batsman McReynolds (Tyler Hoechlin), ladies’ man Finnegan (Glen Powell) and slacker Willoughby (Wyatt Russell), the boys begin three days of initiations and partying, in total defiance of their coach’s strict rules. With the responsibilities of adulthood fast approaching, the boys bond over partying and chasing girls before hitting their first practice of the year.
Following the acclaimed Boyhood, nominated for six Academy Awards, Richard Linklater returns with EVERYBODY WANTS SOME, a spiritual sequel to his 1993 breakthrough, Dazed & Confused. Set in the world of 1980s college life, EVERYBODY WANTS SOME follows a freshman’s first weekend at college, experiencing a fraternity-like lifestyle with his hard partying teammates as they navigate their way through the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood.
