Kicking and Screaming (1995)

A decent little film about life after college, or rather the stalling of life after college. It has the typical four friends set up, with each friend dealing with their problems in unique ways. One guy takes to having sex with eager Freshmen, another actually decides to re-enroll in college, one just lounges around and does crosswords, and another gets a job at a video store. It's broken up more into bits than a cohesive story so there can be some weird transitions. A scene in particular that stood out for me was one with a support character in the main character's living room one scene, and then the next he's working behind a bar the four characters go to. The film is definitely one of those dramedys, but kind of forgets about it towards the end where it just because a really sad drama, the ending in particular is a major cock slap for that. Basically if you're in this age group (22-25) whose recently graduated college but still unemployed or having a kind of existential crisis, this movie is definitely for you.
