Kicking The Dog is basically a story about a group of friends who are hanging out and telling stories about the "good ol' days" while either trying to grow up, trying to recapture those glory days, or wanting to enjoy those moments for the first time. If you "get the humor" you will find it hilarious most of the time.
It's funny because it perfectly captures the conversations and odd situations that arise while in your high school and college. I've never seen another movie or writer that manages to perfectly capture the conversations AND the humor of the topics, which are mostly sex. Most movies seem like the writer has an idea about a situation that would be funny, but is generally unrealistic. This is exactly the stupid sh!t that happens, and it is funny.
But it lacks a compelling plot, which isn't necessarily needed. The characters, conversations and scenes push the movie forward, but a more compelling plot would have helped me enjoy the characters more; although it actually moves at a fairly good pace most of the time. It just seems like it needs more of a story to make me become attached to the characters.
Basically, you will laugh and be entertained, if you get the humor, which I think most people between 15-35 will. It also as a ton of borderline great quotes.
