    Just awful. The concept is great - 80s breakdancing kid lapses into a coma for 20 years. Fish out of water, 80s retro references - it could have been a good movie. But everything else was awful. The cliches, the acting, the cinematography, even the dancing. Jamie Kennedy is supposed to be a comedian. I don't think I laughed at all through this.

    I decided to give this a "slightly" better score than the audience score. There were many things that failed tremendously with this movie. I think the concept was a good one, but it failed from a massively poor execution. For one thing, the directing must have been at fault. There was a pretty good cast and an interesting array of talent involved. I'm what you'd call a die-hard Jamie Kennedy fan. He's miraculously talented, but he couldn't help save this movie from the ash heap of mostly idiocy that it was. Notwithstanding my harsh criticisms, I got some great laughs at certain parts of this, and that's partly why I'm willing to give it a slightly better rating than most. Still though, I'd have liked to seen a much better overall end product. The editing might have saved this a little bit more, but I bet it was a rough job to meld this into a final cut for release. It felt like a B movie with some very funny parts, and with some absolutely abysmal parts. The script writing didn't really match the individual actors very well. The jokes and the timing were off, or just not so good in many instances, with a few very good exceptions of course. Again, the core concept was a good one, but the script writing and the directing seemed to misfire hard on this. Never-mind though, because I'm a Jamie Kennedy fan fo-life. Maria Menounos looked amazing and she pulled off a likable performance as Jennifer in this otherwise drought of entertainment. At best, to some, this movie might take on a cult status with a few who find the charm in this as an epic movie failure. None of this is intended to be a knock on Jamie Kennedy. He's given me so many outrageous uncontrollable laughs throughout the years that I gotta give him mad props. I wish this movie had also been a hit because it might have given a boost to the idea of Stu Stone and Jamie as a rap duo. They put out a good record that deserved some great credit, but it will almost surely be forgotten. It was worth a once over, but I doubt I'll ever take the time to watch this gain.

    lots of haters out there, however this movie is hilarious. it keeps you laughing the whole time with slapstick comedy and notable characters. Coming from one who is hip to the hip-hop scene, this comedic portrayal highlights some humorous aspects.

    Hillarious! If you were born in the 80's you would appreciate much of the jokes in this movie.

    Jamie Kennedy, has, and will always be a supporting actor. When you try to cast him as a lead role, it's is guaranteed failure.

    "Kickin' It" is a terribly written, terribly unfunny flick that relies on poor '80s and '00s satire, along with a cascade of fat, black, Asian and fart jokes. If you don't laugh at it once, you're not going to laugh at it again. And if the bad jokes don't get you, the cardboard cut-out characters and cliched plot will.
