It's the fall of 1980 and Jake(Blake Jenner) a freshman on a baseball scholarship, arrives on the campus of Southeast Texas College three days before school starts. The baseball team are the "big men on campus" due their constant success, bigger even than the football team, and thus are provided with two off-campus houses to ease crowding in the dorms. He meets some of his teammates filling up a waterbed and learns the upperclassmen basically run the house. His teammates include a couple upperclassmen Roper (Ryan Guzman) a classic super confident hound-dog when it comes to women and Finnegan (Glen Powell) who has the gift of gab and can adjust his persona to any situation especially around women. Jake joins them and some other teammates cruising the campus to check out the female students as soon as he moves in. Seeing two woman moving into the dorms they stop to talk to them. The women shoot them down, but one, Beverly(Zoey Deutch), says she "likes the quiet one in the back" meaning Jake. As the women move in to their apartment Jake makes sure to get their apartment number. Later, the baseball coach holds a meeting at the 'baseball house" to introduce everyone and lay down the house rules: no alcohol on the premises and no women in the upstairs bedrooms. The coach cannot have any further contact them until school starts, so they are on their own all weekend. Naturally, they break the house rules as soon as they get a chance. Given their freedom, the players head out to drink and meet women. During the next couple days, Jake and his teammate's sample all the various forms of 1980's music and social interaction from disco to country and western to even punk in pursuit of a good time. They also have time to compete against each other in athletic pursuits like ping-pong and trying to hit a baseball with an ax and hitting golf balls off the roof of the house plus pulling gross childish pranks on each other that usually involve bodily functions or parts of the male anatomy. They also manage to get in one informal practice. Jake has not forgotten Beverly, the girl who liked the quiet one in the back, and leaves a note with his phone number and flowers taped to her apartment door. After a phone call full of flirting from both sides she invites Jake to a performing-arts students' party. Jake reluctantly lets his teammates know where he's going, so they insist on going too, where they do their best to score even in the arsty atmosphere. Jake and Beverley spend the night together. School begins the next day, Jake goes to class but immediately nods off as the teacher begins his lecture. Director Richard Linklater considers this a follow up to his films Dazed & Confused (1993) and Boyhood (2014). He captures the look and mood of 1980, almost perfectly. The comedy is raunchy but not gross, the nudity is fleeting and not overdone.
