4 Reasons Why "Everybody Wants Some" Is The Comedy You Need To See
Over the last few decades comedy movies in general have always been met with fairly consistent success. Everybody wants to be able to laugh, and watch a light-hearted story unfold. Whether its an action comedy like 21 Jump Street, Rush Hour or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Or its a dramatic comedy like The Breakfast Club, 500 Days of Summer or Love Actually. Or even a spoof comedy like Spaceballs, Scary Movie or Austin Powers. Whatever your preference of comedy, there's a deeper connection that draws us to these sort of movies: the laughs. We all want to laugh and most comedy movies either draw out the laughs because of the obvious jokes or ridiculous situations.

Here are 4 reasons why it's a film that you need to see.

If you haven't seen the latest Suicide Squad trailer yet, then please stop reading and watch this. Okay, now that you've seen the most recent and most definitely glorious Suicide Squad trailer, hopefully you're as geeked about it as I am. From day one, Suicide Squad has promised to be an unorthodox film and a sure-fire, roller-coaster ride. It truly appears to be setting itself up to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, hits of the year, most likely being on par with Captain America: Civil War. Some may say that's a big assumption, but so far I've seen nothing that warrants anything but the highest hopes for Suicide Squad.

6 Streaming Shows That Have Redefined Mainstream Entertainment
Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Apple TV - you know the names, and odds are that you probably subscribe to at least one of these outlets.

Cable networks have even begun changing HOW they do television because of how services like Netflix and Amazon have drastically changed what viewers expect to be able to see.
