03/20/01: Kicking and Screaming: My review

Posted By: power_critic


This movie is a whole lot of nothing. It seems that each scene is recycled over and over again. It doesn't have a plot or any characterization.

The only storyline, if there is any storyline, is a couple of college guys who graduate from college. Well, they decide to stay in school because getting jobs in the real world is scary and could disrupt their comfortable lives. The only thing that is remotely different is the occasional switch to one of the guy's girlfriend who is studying in Europe, and Eliot Gould who is one of the guy's father.

So we sit through the whole movie watching these guys talk. Big deal. They don't even have anything interesting to say to one another. Try this. Push play and watch the first fifteen minutes of this movie. Then stop, fast foward fifteen minutes, and push play again. Notice anything different? Do it again. Now is there anything different? Nope. Same scenes with same guys talking about the same stuff.

At least it was appropriatly titled.

p.c.
