      Homer R maybe if the movie had the move or the word that will the goal of the film Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/27/22 Full Review Audience Member Redmond (Kevin Corrigan) is a young guy who can't find what to do with his life. When his uncle Sam (James Woods) gives him a bag to deliver to some uptown connection he fails to do so and it gets them in trouble with Jack (Burt Young), a low-key criminal. While Redmond is trying to avoid Jack and his uncle, his crazy friend Stretch (Michael Rapaport) wants Redmond to take part in his illegal beer business, and at the same time he bumps into the beautiful flight attendant Megan (Linda Fiorentino). Redmond just needs to get his priorities straight in life... "Kicked in the head" is an uninspired low budget 90s indie film that´s not that funny nor interesting while the New York backdrop feels more solid. The script is wobbly and the dialogue as well. Kevin Corrigan´s Redmond is just annyoing and so is Michael Rapaport´s character. The only plus in "Kicked in the head" is the magical and lovely Linda Fiorentino. With other words this is an indie film you can be without. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I think this is a great little comng of age tale that deserves a lot more attention than it received. Although it doesn't have resolve. It's still a great movie for young adolescents or early twenty somethings to see Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member To be honest, I didn't pay attention throughout the entire film, but the parts I did watch were hilarious. "Sometime I do wacky things. Thats why they call me Wacky Jack." "P as in 'phenomenon'...G as in 'phlegm'..." Also, great soundtrack; how often do you hear The Cramps in the movies these days? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked this, but I remember so very little of it. I remember James Woods being a shitty uncle to Kevin Corrigan and always taking his money to "keep it in the family" Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member the dog pulling the shopping cart everywhere was the only entertainment this brought. Oh, and the years of jokes we've had that this was the worst movie ever. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Kicked in the Head is one of those movies where you wish the story was about the supporting characters. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Michael Atkinson Spin Kicked in the Head is a giggly bender of a movie, staggering like a rummy with a bellyful of hootch through its paranoid landscape. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com A sophomore jinx, this is a disappointing follow up to Matthew Harris's striking debut, Rhythm Thief; the acting, though, is good. Rated: C Dec 20, 2006 Full Review Susan Tavernetti Palo Alto Weekly Rated: 1.5/4 May 20, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
