Dazed and Confused was cozy and enjoyable, this was just grating. I prefer not to spend my time watching a bunch of chauvinistic sports-obsessed douchebros try to get laid, but maybe I'm just weird. [Adjusts glasses, starts new game of Stellaris]

As someone who would never fit in with this group of characters, I enjoyed the inclusive way Linklater wrote and directed this film. The way each scene is shot and edited makes you feel part of every joke and jab. Even though the moments might not be emotionally deep or profound, they feel real. We never get to know any of these character's insecurities, so inserting more than superficial conflict would feel cheap.

This is by far the laziest Linklater I've seen. You can see the framework for what he wanted to do and ended up just spreading everything too thin and came up with nothing in particular. The girl who was clearly supposed to be charming was boring and droned on about nothing, and the likeable characters were too shallow and just 'accepted'. Nostalgia and references aren't content. I wanted to like it but it was just kind of boring.

This is little more than a romp down memory lane & fails to provide much reason for being beyond that. It lacked follow through. There were many humorous moments. Good cast. Everybody wants to get laid, which is no great revelation. Zoey Deutch was cute. Blake Jenner was handsome. Characters in general seemed a good cross section & were authentically odd. Great music & good production quality. I enjoyed reliving a few moments of my teenage years from the late 1970's. Likeable but hollow.

A joyous, funny and completely intoxicating slice of eighties Americana that has a loose and casual feel to it. However, the portrayal of the milieu in this time and place is very precise indeed, I should think. In fact, a lot of it probably won't ever change. The film stars many excellent, soon no longer unknown actors (the charismatic Glen Powell is the standout), and I had a blast partying and hanging out with all of Linklater's deftly drawn characters. One of my new favorite hangout movies.

What initially seems like an enjoyable hangout movie set in 1980 is actually deeper. The movie is set during the transitional time between the 70s and the 80s as the characters are in their transitional time between adolescence and adulthood.

Linklater offers a gentle critique to his college years, slowly building toward a more chastened memory of that time--especially the treatment of women. On its face, the film is a sex comedy, its male leads wanting nothing more than to get together with someone, anyone...and often succeeding. However, the film's view of women shifts toward something more human, even while retaining its exuberant sense of fun.

It is exactly the smile-inducing slice of life you expected it to be. Not as organic as Linklater's best shit (see 'Before' trilogy) but I actually found it much more complete than Dazed & Confused. It is aggressively likeable.

Maybe we only love Van Halen because the machine tells us to, but what Willoughby leaves out is that this doesn't make Van Halen any less great. In a way, it's an apt metaphor for the characters that populate this film - I probably wouldn't be friends with them in real life, and they probably wouldn't like me either, but I was glad to spend 2 hours in their presence.

Felt a lot like it was trying to recreate the same feel as Dazed & Confused, but I didn't connect as much. In contrast to the first day of summer timeline, we are treated to the first day of school approaching, and as such, the freewheeling shenanigans felt less urgent and more indulgent. Also in contrast, this time a paddle is broken against a wall instead of on the ground. They traded spanking for Ping Pong, and somehow didn't win me over.

I love Richard Linklater, but what the hell is this? Misogynistic assholes, a storyline that repeats itself for no good reason, and the potential for something great that goes nowhere. The ticking time clock to the first day of school is great, but he doesn't seem to take advantage of it. And a cast of all white guys with one token black guy? Seriously? I just found none of these characters interesting or compelling. Their pursuits were just childlike. This does not live up to Dazed and Confused

A love letter to that great bubble butt that all baseball boys have. There are some stellar performances in there too and it's directed wonderfully. But, let's be real, Linklater really just directed a homoerotic wet dream with some sweet oldies in it and I'm 100% here for it. Anyway, let's throw out any credibility I have as an amateur reviewer and get back to my favorite subject, men with bubble butts...

A decent movie on it's own, but after watching it I was kind of disappointed since I think I compared it to Dazed and Confused too much, and unfortunately it's nowhere near as brilliant. While I enjoyed the movie for the most part, it just seemed a little off: hollow characters, everything is too perfect and glossy and at times the dialogs feel extremely fake. A very joyful movie without substance

Linklater delivers the goods again. Full of cartoonish but all too real characters you'll be able to pick out in a lineup from your own life. I will say this though: Linklater really likes that same kind of shaggy hair protagonist from Dazed and Boyhood. I'll watch this again in some years.

Linklater's tribute to 80s sex comedies has some solid characters, but it's lacking the depth of his other films. What's left is the comedy and sex from those classic films and there isn't much of that here -- some, yes, and it is a relatively brisk two hours, but still not what it could have been.

I didn't have the same problems with the main character as many - he's revealed to have a thorough philosophy on the world (his Sisyphus monologue) which allows him to remain relatively uncombative in his social world. The lack of drama is replaced by mannerisms, clashing ideologies, and an abundance of culture. In other words, a Richard Linklater movie. Should be no surprise to anyone familiar with the man's work. As for comparisons to his other work - another unsuspecting slice of perfection

Fun, but given all the acclaim heaped on this (& its predecessor) it would appear most critics consider it a masterpiece (& "hilarious") to recreate the kind of fun times they had when they were young & stupid, but have the same sophomoric minds implausibly comment on what's occurring through a sociological lens. It's a very rose-colored look into the past as well, w/ races & wildly different cultural groups displaying an open-mindedness that isn't remotely realistic at all now, never mind then.

It has its moments but it's less expansive, less angsty, and less introspective than the masterpiece the filmmakers and marketers have determined they must hitch their wagon to. There's exceptional casting and mostly great characters. I just wish the protagonist had any inner conflict whatsoever; dude just breezes through the movie like he's got everything figured out.

I really appreciate Richard Linklater's perspective, but this film is amazingly unpleasant. I don't understand how someone who makes films with such depth can be the author of this one-dimensional film. Maybe I missed something, but the characters just suck and have no redeeming qualities. It's that simple. Linklater has always worked with flawed characters, and he's always been very talented at getting the viewer to sympathize with most of them in some way. He really failed to do that here.

It might be easy to dismiss this as a superficial retread of Dazed & Confused, but that's a mistake. This film adheres to a pattern and theme which is altogether different than the former's laissez-faire attitude. The task of fitting in is Sisyphean; a perpetual rotation of cliques and genres, parlor games and psychological sparring. Linklater's charm is the optimism of youth; these characters come of age with bright eyes. "Be yourself" is trite, but it's a conclusion come by entertainingly.

Have Linklater movies always been this... shallow? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, which I'm guessing was the point, but I'm sure I remember a point in time when Linklater's movies had something to say. The shameless citing of Camus and pretending it was a character's own original thought was... weird. Anyways, this movie is entertaining, funny and ultra-chill, which is definitely the kind of movie you need sometimes. Still, I can't shake the feeling that this is Linklater on automatic.

Linklater must be stalking me at this point. He thought "well, Dave likes Dazed and Confused, baseball and the 80's so fuck it I'll make him a movie". The only complaint I have is that there isn't enough of it. Oh, and I was a theatre major. We were closer to the baseball guys when it came to parties.

Just like "Dazed and Confused" before this, it's about getting laid and partying, only this time we've moved on to college. The film is a tad over written, and filled with the usual philosophical rhetoric you've come to expect from a Linklater film, although he's an expert at capturing a moment in time, allowing you to experience a bye gone era first hand. With that being said, it works most of the time (I mean nobody wants to watch a movie about doing taxes and paying bills...or do they?)

I enjoyed it just fine, but it's not an incredible movie. First of all, it wasn't as funny as I had hoped; it has a few great lines scattered throughout but it needed more consistency. Even though I thought the story was passable, the beginning bit left me feeling cold. It wasn't until I started to gel with these characters that the movie opened up and I became more engrossed. Unfortunately, by that time we were at least halfway through. Finn is fantastic and charming.

Like Linklater's other great slice of life movies, it really excels at simultaneously evoking a time and a place, but also trafficking in universal characters, relationships, and emotions. The only real knock I have is the lead protagonist--whose character had no conflict and no real character arc, plus I wasn't a big fan of the performance. Really interested to see this a second time and see if has the rewatchability to become a classic.

Richard Linklater is a very hit or miss director for me. Fortunately Everybody Wants Some!! was a hit. Much in the vein of Dazed and Confused this was a really fun character driven slice of life hangout movie. The large cast works very well together and overall the film has a nice sense of momentum. Linklater continues to be one of the best directors when it comes to developing the time and place of a movie. I will say, though adding in more baseball would have been another welcomed dimension.

The first 30 minutes or so feel kind of stilted and awkward and hold nothing surprising, but as the freshmen get more comfortable so does the movie.

While it's an entertaining enough slice of the 80's, I never felt connected to the characters like I did with Dazed and Confused. I think this was partly due to the fact that we were focusing on one subset of a clique as opposed to the various ones we saw in DaC. Some of the acting is a little off and some of the characters are basically the same but it's still enjoyable enough.

A fun movie with feelgood atmosphere to spare. I don't know if I'll ever quite buy a bunch of 25-30-year-olds posing as undergrads, but that seems to be the American Way. The casting was very good anyway. A lot of the characters were memorable, and scenes were fun and goofy without having many laugh-out-loud jokes. The movie doesn't reach the insanity of other college hijinks films, but effectively captures a feeling of an era of fun, friends, partying and minimal responsibility. Which is ok.

Meandering slice-of-life is fun in fits and starts, but sputtering pacing, and a lack of insight into its (too large) cast of characters, dulls the shine. Might be of greater interest to those who want to relive juvenile exploits, and to its credit its good nature acts as a sharp rebuke to the sometimes nasty undercurrent of misogyny which plagues contemporary (and 1980s) 'bro' comedies. The developing romance between Jenner and Deutch is genuinely sweet, and the highpoint of the movie.

How to warm up before college starts. That's all it's about. Besides the cool vintage look and varied selection of characters, this was pretty pointless. Appreciate it for the character study, but don't go expecting any meaningful college story. Not that most college movies are very meaningful. It's about the drinking and getting pussy, and so is this.

Everybody Wants Some!!, a spiritual sequel to Linklater's immortal 1993 Dazed and Confused, in which 1976 teens celebrated the last day of high school before summer. Now it's 1980 and entitled baseball jocks are learning to be bros at a small Texas University. That Linklater was once a baseball jock makes things personal. His best movies, from Slacker to the Before trilogy, all bring us in close.

"Fuckwithery: The Movie". This aesthetic was manipulating me from frame one, and I couldn't care less. I bought in hook, line, and sinker, to God himself Richard Linklater. This is 100% style over substance from the get-go, and I couldn't care less. I dug Jake and Beverly's dynamic in particular, obviously, but in general, I just dug this whole experience, even if "nothing happens". A strong degree of how I judge movies comes from how they make me feel, and this movie just plain made me happy.

No matter how much this is a mildly entertaining homage to 80's comedies it's a lazy acquaintance. The sense of time is completely off (it feels like six months and not a few days) but the worst part is Blake Jenner's smug and rather terrible lead character.

It is lighthearted and fun, but also tedious and overly romanticized.

Jocks have feelings, too -- not just partying and playing baseball and talking about the girls they want. From party to party -- disco, country, punk --, from tribe to tribe -- ball players, theater groups, punksters --, from nonsense to weird and philosophical conversations, Linklater creates his own early 1980s Texas college environment -- one that not specifically exists, but that plays beautifully through dramas, jokes and anxieties of yough right in the days before class starts.

Linklater shows his great directing skills here - turning one not necessarily super original story into a very pleasant one to watch.

An entertaining movie, great film making and set-design - I felt squarely orientated in that period. The pace and high number of characters was quite frenetic, though I settled into that quite late on, once dynamics started emerging - by which time it was resolving. Nice to watch if you are not expecting to engage too fully. The romance or comedy didn't really emerge strongly. The characters are cast as caricatures of cool, which kept them at a distance for me. Good for what it wanted to be.

Linklater made a mistake by claiming it was a spiritual cousin to Dazed and Confused: it set up completely unrealistic expectations. It's a funny film full of dude bro humour, but it rarely goes beneath the surface, and it lacks the resonance of Dazed because of its reduced scope; in Dazed we got a glimpse of an entire world--school as microcosm--E.W.S is a bunch of jock like guys crammed together in the same house fighting for space. At least they're likeable, and it is better than Boyhood.

If Linklater's film is a tribute to those crazy college movies of the past, he nails the vibe and then some. It's a fun, funny movie with a great soundtrack, semi-interesting characters, and pretty girls from beginning to end, plus well-composed dialogue that sounds the way people really talk. Central characters move from episode to episode like they're going through rooms in a funhouse. Against each backdrop, our testosterone-laden athletes with two things on their minds: sports and girls

Linklater, again, succeeds in making a film that is wonderful in its simplicity. The metaphors are familiar, grounded in its soundtrack, but the refreshing hijinks are entertaining and familiar. A brisk and enjoyable two hours.

I actually liked this more than Dazed and Confused which I've always found a bit overrated. It's quite a perfect hybrid of "Porky's" style teen-comedy and Linklater's indie charm. The characters are great, the soundtrack kicks ass and it's full of minor details to catch. It's not really a laugh-out-loud kind of comedy, but I was grinning constantly and that's a rare treat these days. You can argue that the characters are a bit thin etc., but the film delivers exactly what it sets out to do.

"Hey, look at the interchangeable young scamps havin' shenanigans in a circa-1980 college setting! It's art cuz it's relatable, y'see?" I was also unable to locate anything appealing about DAZED AND CONFUSED despite multiple attempts. There are clearly wavelength issues betwixt me and this Linklater fellow.

A relatively fun slice of life comedy. Basically 3 days of dudes hanging out but they are charismatic enough where you want to keep watching.

YES - YES - YES! I'm becoming such a huge fan of Linklaters genuine writing. Awesome cast and characters. I have no clue, but this feels like a piece of American 80's college culture. I might think lesser of this in a year or two, but right now I'm very excited. *Very Good

It really does feel like a sequel to the spirit of Dazed and Confused. Perhaps inevitably, it's not as good. But I enjoyed it for what it was - a low-stakes, feel-good college movie. The cast is good and they did a good job of presenting a bunch of fun, likable, interesting characters in a comparatively short time. I kind of think maybe they should've made this a mini-series, but it works well enough as a film. I thought this was a nice movie, though, admittedly, not Linklater's best.

I have seen this movie nine times. It is equally as fun and entertaining every time I see it. Glen Powell is so freaking charming in this movie and deserves to be the next Matthew McConaughey. I also think Linklater in this movie made a perfect distillation of the Camusian way of life, but that might just be me overintellectualizing a movie I just can't stop rewatching.

While it has good dialogue and fun characters, I didn't really have much fun with the film as the humour didn't hit me as it should've, not to mention it's a bit too long for the pacing it has. But I can acknowledge it as a very well-made film that brilliantly captures a moment in time and feels extremely nostalgic.

Linklater's love letter to the spirit of the late 70's/early 80's is full of fun characters with a great rapport; has a meandering, nostalgic pace; and is riddled with hijinks that manage to be hilarious without being over-the-top. It isn't the freshest take on the genre, but it is a surprisingly thoughtful one.
