Industry Reviews
"...[A] wryly comic mood piece....Scenes move from hurt to resigned laughter and ring poignantly true..."
Travers
"...[The dialogue] scales the heights of post-Salinger acidity and provides an element of charming pathos..." -- Rating: B+
Hajari
"...An easy, low-key tone, with nicely framed shots and subtle camera movements....Baumbach draws good performances from his cast..."
Variety - Greg Evans (10/02/1995)
"...Baumbach surely does make these characters, all of whom are impeccably acted, absolutely real....Baumbach builds unobtrusively to a knock-your-socks-off finish that allows KICKING AND SCREAMING to conclude on its strongest note..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (10/25/1995)
"...[The film has] a good eye and a terrific ear..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (11/10/1995)
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he balance is introspective, goofy, sharp, and every bit as relevant at the beginning of this century as it was at the end of the last decade."
Premiere - Claire Evans (10/01/2006)
Quotations
"Who would you rather be stranded on a deserted island with, MacNeil or Lehrer?" -- first line of dialogue.
