7/25/18 Everybody Wants Some? (Hulu)

    I don't know who pulled this magic off, but this is a bonafide 80's movie complete with a bunch of naked random titties like we grew up watching in the style of Porky's or Fast Times at Ridgmont High.  The movie follows a freshman baseball player starting out his first year in college.  Of course, there are the assortments of personalities and stereotypes right off the bat.  There was not a single face I recognized in the movie, not that it mattered.  Another thing that was weird was that although it was set in the 80's, the movie was made and/or released in 2016, but it had that gritty film look to it, it wasn't all Wi-Fi HDMI 4K fancy looking.
    There was the bullying that goes with being a freshman from the upperclassmen.  The outside of classroom education these upperclassmen are only too willing to give to the young and naïve.  Although they are all on the baseball team, and that is all they talk about, they don't actually get out on a field until about an hour and fifteen minutes into the movie.  The hothead freshman who has no time to make friends and wants to fast track himself to the pros is humbled in his first attempt at pitching when the team homerun king smacks his third pitch over the fence not to show off, but to calm him down that the season is long, and you are better off being a team player than trying to do this alone.
    There was a ticker counting down until baseball playing day which gave it some significance, but I don't think all the guys were that worked up for it.  Of course they have some coach coming in talking about rules and no alcohol in the house, and especially no girls in the bedrooms only to be obviously ignored when it is party time and the guys need a place to drink and party.  They end up partying in a disco, in a country and western bar and then in a house full of theatrical art students.  It seems someone wanted to get deep with the psychology of mankind, the freshman kid is asking one of the upperclassmen if perhaps they are confused about who they really are when they go out one night as cowboys, one night as hippies, and another night as punks, all in the same weekend.  The upperclassman puts him at ease by saying "there are some animal species where the male sacrifices his life to get laid, all we are doing is changing our wardrobe a little bit in an attempt to get laid."
    Overall, the movie was stupid but entertaining, there wasn't much of a point to it other than to show them coming together over alcohol, which we have seen too many times.  It was a bit longer than it had to be at almost two hours long, but since I am stuck at work with nowhere to go and have to stay awake, the movie did its job.
