Everybody Wants Some!! (2016 Richard Linklater & scr)

Funnily enough I just bought Q his Before.. trilogy and he also made the similar Dazed and Confused. This is the early 1980s high school baseball team, and although you get what you are kind of expecting, the film's deeper and more interesting - the characters are well drawn and not all dumb jocks by any means. And it's consistently enjoyable. And when they actually start playing baseball, after an hour and a half of partying, you can see they're all in fact rather good.

A refreshingly not well known cast comprises Blake Jenner, Juston Street, Ryan Guzman, Tyler Hoechlin, Wyatt Russell, Zoey Deutch etc.

Familiar eighties music abounds, along with Pink Floyd's 'Fearless'. Shot by Shane Kelly and edited by Sandra Adair.
