Filmed in the lower east side of new york, the story tackles complex emotions and the struggling life of a writer. It has a great cast with Michael Rappaport's best performance doing what he does best: acting like a beefy thug. I'm not sure why Matthew Harrison never made more movies.

For some reason all of those stuck up critics didn't like the movie. I, however, loved it. Kevin Corrigan is perfect for his role, his acting is so low key that he makes some of the funniest lines even funnier. "You pay the rent" "no" "yeah, see that could be a problem" The main reason this movie is so great is all the minor characters we meet along the way and there is at least one line you will remember from every scene that will make you laugh whenever u think about it. The best scene in the movie is when Redmond is talking with some drunk guy about the stewardist (?)

Michael Rappaport's performance alone makes this a must see. The movie has a good, rapid pace, filled with numerous cast of characters (even the dog) that give the film a funny, irreverent essence. It trails off somewhat in the end, but overall, a very funny movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

The film was very entertaining although the subject matter has been well covered. Captures twenty-something life in N.Y. well. Great soundtrack, and funny twists. One of the best indie's I,ve seen in 1998

Oh man, I hate to say anything good about a film with James Woods in the credits, my personal choice as Hollywood's most irritating and unlikable actor since Victor Mature. However, he's only got a bit part, thank god, and he plays a consumate loser(not much of a stretch) so I will gleefully throw this one a prop.

I don't know where all these lousy votes are coming from. I guess people tuned out early from all the existential angst our main character, Kevin Corrigan, is bleeding all over the place. Michael Rapaport is hysterical as an enthusiastic Irish gun toting beer distributor at war with more ethnic gun toting beer distributors. Basically the same role he played in True Romance but this time he's on crack. I think I counted about 700 beers in his refrigerator?

I also noticed that nobody in this movie can shoot worth a damn. Have you ever seen anybody empty an entire clip from a Desert Eagle at 3 feet and hit nothing but the sky? This movie is inventive, witty, and just downright hilarious. The final scene had me simultaneously rolling on the floor and searching for an airsick bag. Funny funny funny! A solid 4 beer salute.

Very funny film about the exploits of Redmond and his group of roundabout cohorts. Accomplishes its purpose gracefully and hilariously. This is one film that will capture the heart and senses with such originality and grace that you'll applaud in your living room. Rent this gem where ever you can find it. It often plays on Cinemax, so watch it the next time it plays.

"Kicked in the Head" ain't brilliant, but it does unfold with an energy that is both youthful and honest, the way movies about young people should be. Kevin Corrigan's Redmond finds himself criss-crossing paths with gangsters, stalker girlfriends, and even a terrier tied to a shopping cart in his quest to find true love (in the guise of Linda Fiorentino as a smoky stewardess who's been around the airport a few times). Less ably plotted than heartfelt, the movie sometimes lets its hit-and-miss comedy get in the way of the better moments, like the confused Redmond's attempts at a Graduate-style reconciliation with what he thinks is the love of his life. Still, it's sincere in feeling, and any movie that can work the remake of Louis Armstrong's Bond song "We Have All the Time in the World" can't be bad. Check it out if you need to be reminded of the breezy angst of young love.

It wasn't all that bad, but then again it wasn't too good either. James Woods wasn't in that much of it but still made up some of the best parts. The funniest parts are still with the "beer wars". But in short, you can watch it, but don't buy it.

if i was anyone else in the world, i would think this movie is horrible. but this movie was very relevant to my life at one point.
first off, i look exactly like Redmond its scary, ive seen Kevin Corigann recently and he looks alot diffrent, hes put on some weight and grew facial hair. but the resemblence with me and Redmonds character is almost 100%, and at the time i saw the movie i was in love with a woman who was a stewardess. she was a total b*tch like the character in the movie, and the relationship didnt work out in the end. but this movie fortold my life in a sense. really trippy.
but overall a heartfelt stupid funny cute movie. i recommend it to anyone that has a sense of humor

I liked it. woods was wacky as Corrigans uncle and it was funny to see Woods get hit y that bus at the end, hilarious. Michael Rapaport is absolutely awesome in this too. funny part is when Corrigans in Rapaports place with his girlfriend and his girlfriend is telling about how she raided some place that had a bunch of vibrators
