Kicking and Screaming


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: No
Watched With: Myself

No, not the Will Ferrell one.

Well I said I should probably watch this, so I did. College kids talk: the movie. It has some quietly funny moments, a little contemplative and rather aimless feel. I do tend to favour narrative over character though, so while this was nowhere near as painful as Down to the Bone, it didn't do much for me. If I were a college student in the 90's this may well have been a favourite. Sadly, it was not meant to be.

Man, Noah Baumbach got bitter as he got older. Good thing too, his later films are much more interesting.
