100% a LOVE it or HATE it movie. My brother and I both worked with bands in our early twenties. The camaraderie and antics of the characters were very familiar to how we lived back then. I can see how if you have no nostalgia of that…

A simple nostalgic movie from Linklater. It's light on plot and focused on fun. The picture is an enjoyable slice of life.

Since this is a Richard Linklater film, it must be about slackers with sub-minimal I.Q.'s. - you know, the garden variety dimwit that gets into third rate colleges. Since Dickie's generic lunkhead, Ethan Hawke, is a bit long on the tooth…

This movie is similar to American Pie; Horny college bros looking for sex. It's a bit over the top and cheesy. Good for mindless entertainment.

This movie was initially described to me as the "sequel" (quotation marks emphasized) to 'Dazed and Confused". Like DAC, it's a period piece done by Richard Linklater focusing on the lives of a group of young people going to school in a…

I like the Director Richard Linklater, but this movie-not so much. Predictable and kind of stupid. A glimpse of the 80’s. So what? ? I agree with amoby.

A rather silly movie highlighting the disco era, a Texas college baseball team, college romance, boobs, beer, and bros. All in all, a fun watch.

Nursebob gets it right with his comments below. I must say though that at this stage in my game -- midlife and gauging stamina for the march to retirement -- I would gladly spend 48 hours back in the early '80s rambling from one party to…

Yet another bit of nostalgia aimed at the tail end of the Boomer generation, Richard Linklater’s entertaining booze ’n boobs college caper revels in authentic period details (the hair! the clothes!) and a dream soundtrack of classic rock…

I had my doubts going into this one. I love Dazed and Confused and if you have a choice between the two check out Dazed and Confused. Having said that if you're a fan of Dazed and Confused already and looking for something new to watch…

This is basically a recycled somewhat updated version of Dazed and Confused. Not nearly as good as Dazed and Confused- here we cant tell if its the 70's (disco, disco music, polyester shirts ,etc) or the 80s? kicker bars, a few 80s…

This is what happens when you have a focused sound track and a random script and then produce a movie using both. This movie is okay then you get to the credits and the characters start to rap and you feel disturbed about the whole…

I'm a guy (born in the 90's lol) and at times I can find the dynamic that arises when large groups of young men get together rather annoying. Everybody Wants Some!! is able to simulate this phenomenon quite well. Unfortunately, this is not…

After 10 minutes I had enough, wasn't funny or interesting...

Must disagree with the bulk of the comments: this film is very good. (Maybe not exactly four stars as I've rated but it's close.) Firstly, it's fun, with a great soundtrack and many funny lines and parts. But then these college jocks, who…

Richard Linklater wrote and directed this movie. Like many previous reviewers, I do not think it is his best work. Of his films, I thought it was most similar to Dazed and Confused, which I enjoy, and Slacker, which I stopped watching…

Boring movie total crap! Don't waste your life with this movie!

Unfortunately, this is not a great Linklater film. It tries to give you feels like from Dazed and Confused(which is a classic and much better film to watch) but falls short. It is literally watching a bunch of actors in their mid twenties…

Perfect... for all ages 13 and under.
Nov 03, 2016lukasevansherman rated this title 2 out of 5 stars
Sadly, I have to agree with most of the other comments. I've followed Richard Linklater's career since the early 90s and even when I don't like his movies (I'm not a fan of the "Before" series), his films are almost always worth a look.…

A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME
Aug 30, 2016BryanSeattle rated this title 1 out of 5 stars
Really disappointing - especially after such good reviews. I loved Dazed and Confused; most of the characters rang true, the party scene was just like a bunch of high school parties I attended, and all the characters seemed age-appropriate…

SUCH A BORING MOVIE WASTE OF TIME NO PLOT AT ALL
Aug 19, 2016ArapahoeAlison rated this title 1 out of 5 stars
I am disappointed in this movie. Generally, I love the director Richard Linklater's movies from Dazed and Confused, to Before Sunrise, to Boyhood, to Waking Life. His characters tend to be rich and his vision unique. But in this one, the…

Two hours of watching 18 and 19 year-olds hanging out. No plot. No character development. Just guys drinking and talking about sports, women, and what classes to take while waiting for school to start.
