If you really want to laugh out loud this is your movie. There is no waiting for lunacy to begin. It is a quick moving, never boring parody.Michael Rapaport stole the movie. If his fast talking, high energy performance didn't have you laughing he at least had you smiling. The only disappointment was that there were not more scenes with him in them. There should have been more scenes with that rival business.James Woods in comedy... who knew...so funny.The gun battles are so well done. The enthusiasm of the shooters makes their lack of aim all that more funny. Anytime you see a gun... pay attention... you won't be disappointed. None of the shooters could hit the floor if they fell...too funny.

This is a film that really drives home the point that, alas, morning always comes.One of the best indie flicks I've seen in a long time, and nearly on par with one of my favorites, "Floundering".In fact, there is an argument to be made that "Kicked in the Head" is an East Coast take on many of the same weird experiences as "Floundering". Both films have a 'mob spin', people who get shot at but don't die, an 'older woman' as a love interest, cameos by great actors, difficult relatives, and solid, if slightly bemused protagonists. Both films are really modern retellings of "Candide", with the LA Riots and the Hindenburg disaster serving as the "Lisbon Earthquake" of "Floundering" and "Kicked in the Head" respectively. Although the search for the truth in "Kicked in the Head" gets a touch abbreviated, well, let me just say, if Linda Fiorentino wanted to wrap me up that way, I'd relax and enjoy it.Both films are more interesting and fulfilling quests for the truth than "Dogma", which rather overplayed its hand. They ain't Hal Hartley, but they are definitely worth the rental, for the mental stimulation and occasional guffaws they engender.

Kicked in the Head rocked, it was hilarious and Matthew Harrison was excellent in the movie. He is going to be a big star one day, he's such a great actor. The movie kicked butt, and I would recommend it to anyone.

The movie start out introducing a boy who is lost ( in search of "the purpose" ). We get to join him for a few days of his life, telling us that life ain`t always the brightest thing to deal with. The movie deserves some credit for not following the mainstream, and Michael Rapaport does his best role for so far. James Woods is quite good as a jerk, the dog is better though. I´m happy that I´ve watched this one, and I recommend you to do the same.
