Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 09/21/1995

"...[A] wryly comic mood piece....Scenes move from hurt to resigned laughter and ring poignantly true..."

Entertainment Weekly - 04/12/1996

"...[The dialogue] scales the heights of post-Salinger acidity and provides an element of charming pathos..." -- Rating: B+

Variety - 10/02/1995

"...An easy, low-key tone, with nicely framed shots and subtle camera movements....Baumbach draws good performances from his cast..."

Los Angeles Times - 10/25/1995

"...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..."

Chicago Sun-Times - 11/10/1995

"...[The film has] a good eye and a terrific ear..."

Premiere - 10/01/2006

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."
