Well said. I am adjusting as we speak and I will view again soon.

Moviezzz: Trimark is responsible for the Leprechaun franchise, so that tells you what their distribution strategy was like. I enjoyed Kicking and Screaming much more at age 34 than I did at age 22, oddly, and can easily understand why you picked it as the header image on your site.

Pat: This movie is surprisingly good and probably does belong on a list of culturally significant films of the ’90s, but your criticisms are valid. This movie is not very profound; Baumbach doesn’t do profound. But if you reset your expectations to the Slacker, Reality Bites or debut film level, you might really enjoy it.

I have only been able to get through about 30 minutes of this movie before turning it off in a fit or rage. There’s too much talky talky and if you’re going to have that, your characters better be people we like and I didn’t find that. I found the characters to be whiny. And there was a time when I would have liked this and thought it profound, but that time has passed.

But I own the movie, so I will give it a second shot based on your review.

And it only made $700,000 at the box office? Yikes. I saw it theatrically, so I was part of that. It was poorly marketed by Trimark, only opening at a little run down multiplex theatre in my area that doesn’t even exist anymore.

But, it still is one of my favorites. I quote it a bit too much.
