:"For the 2005 comedy film, see Kicking & Screaming.""Kicking and Screaming" (1995) is a film by Noah Baumbach about a group of college graduates who refuse to move on with their lives, each in his own peculiar way. The film, which stars Josh Hamilton, Chris Eigeman, Carlos Jacott, and features Eric Stoltz, Olivia d'Abo and Parker Posey, premiered in 1995 at the prestigious New York Film Festival to critical acclaim. Baumbach--who later wrote and directed the film The Squid and the Whale, and co-wrote The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou with longtime friend Wes Anderson--was chosen as one of Newsweek's "Ten New Faces of 1996". The film appeared in several "Top Ten" lists, and had a lengthy run playing on the Sundance Film Channel. The long awaited Criterion Collection DVD was released August 22, 2006 in the U.S. Much of the film was shot at Occidental College. Eric Stoltz's character was written into the script to get the picture to be released - and in a deleted scene he had been in a relationship with Jane.
