Everybody wants some Is the spiritual successor to Dazed And Confused. Instead of High School Shifting the focus to an incoming group of Freshman College Baseball players and their introduction into the college lifestyle, competitive Baseball fraternity consisting of mostly older kids, and a bigger microcosm.
Where as Dazed offered a very relatable cast of High School kids trying to set up the ideal party and hangout, everybody wants some expands the idea to the college setting a few days prior to classes starting. To a world where there doesn’t seem to be much else going on at all besides partying even once classes commence. The main character Jake a starting college Baseball pitcher, and probably the most charismatic character, considering the rest of the bunch seem to all be based off O’ Banion the town jerk of Dazed, and are for the most part even self admittedly aware of their own ignorance and over competitiveness as touched on in the film. Where as they even say this isn’t your small town high school anymore where your the big star this is college where everyone is out to make a name for themselves.
The movie follows Jake’s few days before classes commence adjusting to the college atmosphere, chasing after girls, and breaking every fraternity rule set by coaches and having party after party at their house loaned to the team by the City, each getting bigger and bigger. As well as meeting new people, cruising the streets, and trying to prove himself to his team.
The soundtrack is filled with late 70’s rock and early 80’s glam and funk music. The movie also doubles down as a period piece. As said before it’s pretty much a bigger badder Dazed And Confused, which is still the better movie imo. My only complaint is the lack of likable characters, minus the main character and maybe one or two others. Where as Dazed had a cast of relatable characters this movie presents more self absorbed and arrogant ones trying to prove a point. However I don’t think it takes away from it at all, the general feel good vibe boosters this. It’s an essential coming of age movie and still remains relevant to the college culture movement today.
