Not to be confused with the Will Farrell flick of the same name, the movie by Noah Baumbach is an attempt at reminiscence of lost love and the misplaced excitement of college life. On paper, this film's premise seems exciting, daring even, but on film Kicking and Screaming is simply another post-college drag. At an hour an a half this movies seems a semester long - as long as it takes the protagonist to realize he can't skip in time - whether backward or forward. This film contains a poignant supporting performance by Eric Stoltz.
Viewer Reviews
There is a certain quality about this film which makes it watchable over and over again. I think it has to do with the success of the flashback sequences providing just enough overlap of weaving the story and the characters together. There is cleverness and a humble attention to human reality that just packs every little scene - you can watch this totally out of sequence and still enjoy it. I don't think it has anything to do with the post-college setting, it has more to do with the universal nature of fleeting relationships, bad choices made out of pride, and the sort of instant nostalgia you feel for things that you knew were good and let slip away. This is a very smart, funny movie I highly recommend. There's no gimmicky death, illness, or obsurd plot points - just an honest story about lost love and friendships as they mature through time, played by skilled actors and filled with great dialogue.
