 The Will Ferrell comedy Kicking & Screaming, about kids' soccer, is not scoring many points with critics. Kevin Crust in the Los Angeles Times remarks: "Kicking & Screaming is the kind of movie that makes you wonder why anyone would even bother making it in the first place." Claudia Puig in USA Today is equally turned off by the film's antics. "It's tempting to tell readers they should avoid this movie, because if they have to sit through Kicking & Screaming, they'll probably want to run screaming from the theater." But Michael Booth in the Denver Post suggests that the movie is not quite the loser that some of his colleagues make it out to be. "It's nearly good enough to recommend, not quite bad enough to ignore, and in the end, not so awful a place to take the soccer team to chill on a Sunday afternoon," he comments. |
