A group of recent college graduates hover around campus unable to cut the umbilical cord of academic life.
Reviews:
"...[A] wryly comic mood piece....Scenes move from hurt to resigned laughter and ring poignantly true..." - 09/21/1995 Rolling Stone, p.90
"...[The dialogue] scales the heights of post-Salinger acidity and provides an element of charming pathos..." -- Rating: B+ - 04/12/1996 Entertainment Weekly, p.76
"...An easy, low-key tone, with nicely framed shots and subtle camera movements....Baumbach draws good performances from his cast..." - 10/02/1995 Variety
"...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..." - 10/25/1995 Los Angeles Times, p.F1
"...[The film has] a good eye and a terrific ear..." - 11/10/1995 Chicago Sun-Times, p.43
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." - 10/01/2006 Premiere, p.99
