TAGLINES
Twelve Friends, One Great Summer, Soon They Will Be Legends
Kicking The Dog is the story of that summer - a story about real life. Yes, the characters need to make life-changing decisions, but they're also partying, poking boobs, searching the fridge for emergency lubricants, telling stories about sharing condoms and enjoying other distractions that make spending time with old friends something so memorable you'll never find it anywhere else in life - no matter who you meet. Satchem and Julie must decide whether they should pursue their own personal dreams, or stay together, all while telling stories about nipples and wieners. Matt can and will hook up with any girl that crosses his path, including the girl of his brother Robbie's dreams. The sexually frustrated Josh finds himself working at the local porn shop while dating the former slut turned good-girl Jen. They soon realize the best times are always with your oldest friends and the ones you love the most.

Funny Movie, Boobs not Fake
posted on 31 Aug 2009I think the movie is hilarious!
The boobs are NOT fake, the right nipple is just a little crooked. If it was a boobjob, they would have straightened it during surgery. People will complain about everything - even awesome, real, large breasts.
I love the soundtrack too.
Background movie at a party - maybe...
posted on 31 Aug 2009Aside from the cover art having nothing to do with the movie (none of the people pictured are in it - including the dog or the house), the title being irrelevant to the story, the plot description repeating the "12 friends" line when there was 9, this could be decent.
You get 90 minutes of guys and girls talking about their sexcapades, drinking and trying to sleep with each other. There is a subplot involving one of the guys working in a porn shop, which is what gives this the R rating, otherwise the remainder takes place at one house over the course of a weekend.
A few laugh out loud moments, a lot of stupid idiots drinking, etc. One of those movies you might play as background at a party that no one is really watching, but would grab a view when the token fake boobs (really bad augmentation too) pop out a couple times. No special features, and film quality was poor to average. 5 star reviews? Please.
Sit, Watch, Repeat
posted on 31 Aug 2009This movie is great! A comedy cult classic. Not to sound like a tool, but I repeat the quotes all the time. The one liners are hilarious, but it's not a one trick pony. The movie is just funny from start to finish. Definately an "OWNER" for the video library.
Like an Indie Superbad
posted on 29 Jul 2009People may compare this to Clerks or American Pie, but it's much more similar to Superbad - if Superbad had twice as many characters and took place in one house. It is low budget, and does have some flaws, but for pure laugh-out loud moments, it is tough to beat Kicking The Dog. It's got a few great characters, attractive cast, boobs, sex, drinking and a ton of hilarious quotes and quips. It's definitely for high school and college kids, because they'll understand.Basically the story revolves around Satchem deciding whether he should pursue a job across country and leave his girlfriend behind, who also may be moving away, or stay home. Meanwhile, his best friend gets a job at a porn shop and develops a footjob fetish. Then his other buddy, who is great as the cocky older bro, is trying to hook up with every girl, including his younger brother's best friend. Then the three high school kids - and the big guy turns in a star-like performance - try to meet girls and get panties, but discover some "toys".It's a great dorm room movie.
Funny Movie You Can Relate To
posted on 25 Jun 2009I was attracted because of a combination of the movie poster and the low-budget production story (like Clerks) and left hoping this filmmaker gets a chance to make a movie on a Hollywwod budget. It had the rare ability to keep me entertained and laughing for 90 minutes - even my girlfriend laughed at most of the scenes - and she threatened to refuse to watch it after the opening scene! If you liked a movie like Dazed and Confused - with no real point, just cool scenes and conversations - you will enjoy this little gem called Kicking The Dog. If you don't "get" these movies, and never spent your weekends drinking beer with buddies, getting too drunk to hook up, reminiscing about the good times and generally having fun, you also won't see the absolute perfect humor in this movie either. Some people just don't understand getting drunk and having fun. If you do, you will quote this movie forever. "Just sit back and enjoy the best 5 inches this side of the Mississippi!!" It's not Clerks and it's not American Pie. Yes, it's conversation, but this is real conversation that buddies have when there's nothing else to do except get drunk and try to hook up - and it's so real it's hilarious. The conversation in Clerks was funny for different reasons. And AP had a $10 million budget, not $50k, so it should be held to higher standards, although I truly find Kicking The Dog as entertaining as Pie or Clerks.Basically a bunch of friends get drunk, discuss sex, poke boobs, play drinking games, discuss sex, get drunk, get a footjob, have fun and a few even have serious issues with their relationships (but don't worry, they're getting drunk too). Plus the acting is amazing for a low budget film - actually probably better than any teen movie since Pie.
An independent American Pie/Porky's for a new generation
posted on 19 Jun 2009This little gem of an indie comedy is filled with many one-liners that will surely be shared among friends for months after viewing.I first saw a clip on you tube. I thought to myself, "Any scene in any movie that involves using mayonnaise as lubrication has GOT to be a funny flick!" I then decided to buy it from Mr. Lammey's website (who, by the way, is an awesome guy) and received the film quickly thereafter.I watched the movie with some friends with some mixed reactions. DON'T watch this movie if you have a large woman around that can't take jokes about women of the same order. It had some pretty ridiculous moments and some of the jokes are a bit facetious BUT, the same can be said of all high school/college based comedies.If you enjoy slapstick and/or teen humor, this movie should go right up your alley.You will be amazed how some people use their feet!
With friends like these who need enemas??
posted on 30 May 2009A group of friends spend their last summer the have before entering adulthood by....staying at home and having fairly lame parties, full of sexual stories of past escapades and hitting on girls. Oh those wild ones. This movie is full of frank sex talk that i'd guess is supposed to be humorous, but the movie isn't on for long before it just becomes boring and tedious. It seems that the writer of this was attempting to channel Kevin Smith (old "Clerks" era Smith, the New Kevin Smith is too busy trying to channel Judd Apatow), but lacked the ability to successfully pull it off. What we get is an overlong, unfunny, exercise in tedium. Eye Candy: Lorianne Dye get topless My Grade: D- DVD Extras: Just a theatrical trailer for this movie; and trailers for "Hide", "Stormforce", & "Brother's War"
Great movie, full of laughs!
posted on 31 Aug 2009I have watched "Kicking The Dog" a couple times and it just gets better. I repeat most lines from the movie on a daily basis. The soundtrack is unbeatable, I just love The Pawnshop Roses.
I was thrilled to find t-shirts at kickingthedog.com
If your looking for a great laugh, this is the movie to buy!
