Everybody Wants Some!! is a 2016 American comedy film, written and directed by Richard Linklater, about college baseball players in Texas in 1980. The film stars Will Brittain, Zoey Deutch, Ryan Guzman, Tyler Hoechlin, Blake Jenner, Glen Powell, and Wyatt Russell. The film had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 11, 2016, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 30, 2016, by Paramount Pictures. The film grossed $4.6 million and received critical acclaim.

The film received a limited release across 19 locations in New York City and Los Angeles on March 30. Deadline Hollywood said “should the film make $20K per theater that would be great. If it makes north of a $35K average, that would be fantastic.” The film’s opening weekend per-screen gross was $16,440; the final gross was $4.6 million—well below the film’s $10 million budget.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 87% based on 186 reviews and an average rating of 7.6/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, “Nostalgic in the best sense, Everybody Wants Some!! finds Richard Linklater ambling through the past with a talented cast, a sweetly meandering story, and a killer classic rock soundtrack.”On Metacritic, the film has a score of 83 out of 100 based on 50 reviews, indicating “universal acclaim”.
