Totally awesome! Filled with appealing unknown (to me) actors and tons of great period music. Funny as hell and really sweet. I want to watch it a million times.
There's a scene where a few of the guys are passing a bong around and in the background is a Pink Floyd song I've always loved but never heard in a movie before. ("Fearless"). How can you not love a movie where a bunch of dudes are passing a bong to Pink Floyd? An offhand line took a beat to sink in but had me guffawing maybe a bit too boisterously once it hit me. One guy hopes the Astros win the World Series that year, and this Philadelphia baseball fan roared! (Look up the 1980 MLB postseason, kids.) It truly is a spiritual sequel to D&C but, since the characters are a bit older, there's a bit of nudity thrown in, which I absolutely approve of.
And since the main characters are college baseball teammates, there are many good-looking, athletic men in half shirts and short shorts and jock straps to look at for two hours, if that's your bag. It's totally mine.
Some reasons I love contemporary movies set in the seventies and eighties are the costumes and hairstyles. They make the movie that much more entertaining.
The female lead is played by Lea Thompson's daughter. Damn I'm getting up there when Lea Thompson has a child old enough to play a college student.
When you see this movie, stay through the credits. My favorite D&C callback may be the way the cast is credited, this time to The Cars instead of Foghat. If the best movies become illegal then Everybody Wants Some!! is under arrest.
