Roger Ebert praised the film's "strong eye and a witty ear," writer-director Noah Baumbach's dialogue is not just accurate, but a distillation of reality—elevating aimless brainy little talk into a poem." Reviews often referred to the characters' life cycle, but most of them described it as a glimpse of the characters' lives. "Kicking and Screaming occupys its postage-stamp size territory with a slew of sarcastic fashion," Janet Maslin of The New York Times said.
