9. Everybody Wants Some!!

Let's be clear here, this is not a sequel. This is a “spiritual sequel”, and there is a difference. This is not Dazed and Confused 2: the cast is different, the characters are different, and the title is even different. So this is an original movie.

Now that we all agree on that, how excited are you for this movie?!

Richard Linklater is a very unique filmmaker who can make a commercial comedy that has heart,  strong characters and real depth to it. The fact that he made such an enjoyable movie about high school kids in the 70s looking for somewhere to get drunk, means there are high hopes for what he can deliver with his look at college life.

While the cast is made up mostly of unknowns, it’s been proven that Linklater has a eye for burgeoning talent. Don’t be surprised if a good chunk of this cast goes on to become massive stars.

The trailers for the film have nicely displayed the light, playful mood of the film, but the its real path to success will likely come from word of mouth. It already has rave reviews coming out of SXSW and the positive notices will likely only improve as more critics and audiences see it. 

Sure to be a crowd-pleaser, it’s likely every fan will be recommending it to anyone they know.
