Everybody Wants Some - Blu-Ray Review

Commentary

I was expecting this movie to be, well, Animal House. However, Linklater doesn’t make over the top, outrageous slap-stick comedies. His comedic skills are bit more subtle and have an appealingly realistic feel to them. This story is about what it was like to go into college when I was going into college. I could relate to some of their misadventures. I liked the meandering storyline and some of the offbeat characters.

Secrets Sponsor

1980 was an interesting time in America, and Linklater really captures the spirit of the times here. I also liked the way this movie dovetails with Dazed and Confused, his film about the last week of the school year for high school seniors. If you liked that movie, well, you’re bound to find a lot to enjoy here as well.

Technical

The picture quality is outstanding, with bold colors and great lighting. The sound was exemplary as well, especially with the 80’s soundtrack with some wonderful sounding music in surround. I wouldn’t mind getting this films soundtrack on cassette or 8-track!
