"Kicking and Screaming" was Noah Baumach's first film. He wrote and directed it at age 25, which is a real accomplishment because the film's very compelling. Riding the wave of the independent cinema in US in the early 90s, Baumbach created... Full review

I saw this film when it first came out on VHS because it had Eric Stoltz on the cover and, I thought, anything with Eric Stoltz must be good. It was the mid-1990s, after all, and I had first become acquainted... Full review

Bayer: So, "Kicking and Screaming" (by Noah Baumbach) is one of my favorite films.
Lehr: It's very much like "Spinal Tap" - it's like my all-time favorite movie.
The cast loves it because they don't have to memorize anything.

The scenes are welcome, but the film is better without them.
Like many indie pics from the mid-1990s, "Kicking" -- here benefiting from an excellent visual and audio transfer -- explores post-collegiate angst and failed romance through a comic prism.

Now, cleaned up and free from pan-and-scan butchery that threw Baumbach's framing off completely, the film looks quite smart....Baumbach is a surprisingly engaging and wry comic presence, and the actors generous and affable.....Even on his first film, Baumbach shows himself to be a sharp writer, with a knack for piercing observation and sarcastic humor..... ...

More remarkable about Kicking and Screaming , however, is Baumbach's directorial minimalism, his long, graceful takes and sly employment of rock and country music bestowing the comedic and romantic proceedings with subtle sophistication, as in an emotionally well-calibrated scene between Grover and his maritally separating father (Elliot Gould), as well as a final, hopeful image whose heartfelt poignancy isafter the preceding onslaught of smart-alecky gibber-jabberall the more powerful for... ...
