Mason M 10/15/2024 With some of the most quotable dialogue that I've seen in a film, and a great cast of characters with interesting dynamics, Baumbach creates a strongly built melancholy and nostalgic world in one of his best works. See more Caleb J 03/18/2024 Hilarious, relatable, and just brings all the vibes. Noah Baumbach is one of the best writer/director's in Hollywood and this is one of my favorites from him. Can I find a girl like Olivia d'Abo? See more Christian K @ckacar 03/08/2024 A fun hang with some fake smart and unhappy people, the banter works throughout. See more Devin B 11/13/2023 Some parts are funny but couldn't get into the majority of the story. See more dave s 12/01/2022 Noah Baumbach's Kicking and Screaming is filled with some clever dialogue. Unfortunately, much of the clever dialogue has nothing to with what preceded it or what follows. And that seems to be the problem with Baumbach's debut as a writer and director – virtually any scene or piece of dialogue could be spliced in elsewhere and nobody would know the difference. The premise of the movie? A group of college graduates, all of them pompous beyond belief, find themselves trapped in a self-created dead zone between university and the real world, a zone where it is acceptable to whine and pout and spout arcane thoughts without any repercussions. The only real reason to watch this is to experience Baumbach's arc as a filmmaker as he evolves and progresses over time from this drivel to, a couple of decades later, the fantastic Marriage Story.
