Editorial Review:
On a spiritual quest for the truth, a bewildered young man encounters a strong dose of reality in this quirky and hilarious comedy. When Redmond (Kevin Corrigan) finds himself out of home and job, his life becomes a series of unpredictable escapades--from dodging gunfire after his uncle (James Woods) makes him deliver a highly suspicious package, to pursuing a moody stewardess (Linda Fiorentino) he thinks has come to save him. Soon Redmond begins to suspect his road of mishap might actually be the path to truth he has been seeking all along.
Kicked In The Head Reviews:
awesome-osity 
2009-12-16 - Some really nice quotes. I have to write this one down here because of its total awesome-osity:
Stretch: You keeping track of this like truth stuff, you writing it down?
Redmond: Yeah, that's all I do.
Stretch: Where is it, let me see it. I want to see the truth, let me see the truth.
Redmond: I got it right here. *pulls out his little notebook of scribblings poetry and starts looking through it*
Stretch: You got it right there?
Redmond: Uh...
Stretch: Huh? The truth is in there?
Redmond: *mutters*
Stretch: Where is it at, the truth is in there?
Redmond: This ain't it.
Stretch: That's not it?
Redmond: I got it written down somewhere though, but this is something else.
this movie tripped me out 
2006-04-25 - 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
The blackest of the black comedies.
2005-04-01 - 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.
Woods is wacky!! 
2003-10-14 - 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
Worth a Look
2003-04-30 - "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.
