The Recipe

Not often that a decently produced film with some veteran actors gets a rating as low as this one. I watched it on Sundance channel with no advance idea of its origin. I am fairly convinced, however, that its flaws... Full review

If you really want to laugh out loud this is your movie. There is no waiting for lunacy to begin. It is a quick moving, never boring parody.Michael Rapaport stole the movie. If his fast talking, high energy performance didn't... Full review

Matthew Harrison and Kevin Corrigan have come up a quirky movie in which there are a lot of ideas. Some of them come across and others fail, but the film is worth a look because it has good performances. The... Full review

Despite a great soundtrack and the presence of the ever amazing Rappaport and Woods, this is another one of those moronic comedies where New York throws itself at the hero in an effort by the writer and/or director to show... Full review

I stumbled across this movie on satellite cable last one night. I was mesmerized - it was SO funny, so well written, and so underplayed. This little independent film has a lot going for it. Michael Rappaport has one of... Full review

Man, I hate to say anything good about a film with James Woods in the credits, my personal choice as Hollywood's most irritating and unlikable actor since Victor Mature. However, he's only got a bit part, thank god, and he... Full review
Good cast. Bad everything else.

"Kicked in the Head" is all about the Corrigan character, a twenty something man on a quest to find himself, and his involvements with a handful of quirky characters. This thin and ambiguous story, which was written by Corrigan, has... Full review
The movie is the opposite of this Hollywood action guy who saves the world in one after another 30 second MTV Video cut with intrusively humor. The movie is just about 4 Days of a young man in New York... Full review
More than what you think.

First off for anyone who is a Kevin Korrigan Fan should know that Kevin co-wrote this movie with Matthew Harrison. They had been friends and he had called on Kevin to ask if kevin liked what he had got for... Full review

The dialog in the movie is clever, with amusing use of fast talking and repetition. Some of the "philosophical" speeches were good too, particularly one where the main character (Redmond) was warned about stewardesses' body rhythms. The violent scenes seemed... Full review

San Francisco Chronicle
No one does nasty like Fiorentino, but ``Kicked in the Head'' gives her little to play. The bungled delivery means that for the rest of the film, whenever Harrison needs to jazz things up, he can have a chase scene, in which mobsters try to kill our everyman. ... Full Review

With a mixture of misdirection and blind optimism, this film delivers some very funny scenes from a cast who seem to fully understand the title;....Lili Taylor has a small role as happy, Redmond's ex, who refuses to believe he doesn't want to be with her..... ... Full Review

The delivery turns into a gun battle, and Redmond soon finds himself on the run, with gangster Jack (Burt Young) eager to catch up with him. As he ponders his next move, Redmond falls into a sudden romance with a beautiful airline attendant, Megan (Linda Fiorentino), while his former girlfriend Happy (Lili Taylor) stays on his tail, and Redmond keeps thinking about the Hindenberg. ...

Chicago Sun-Times
Wary, wounded and cynical, she sleeps with Redmond for reasons having little to do with the plot and much to do, perhaps, with Kevin Corrigan , who co-wrote the screenplay, wanting to give himself a good scene. Unfortunately, the movie isn't about them. ... Full Review
