K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) |
"It's a terrifically dramatic story, but in Bigelow's hands it never feels 'Hollywood.'" |
Robert W. Butler |

K-Pax (2001) |
"When talented leads are talking, K-Pax rules." |

Kangaroo Jack (2003) |
"This major brain-number, about two bozo Americans chasing a kangaroo across the Australian Outback, has as its high point a gag about camel flatulence." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Karate Kid Part 2 (1986) |
"Good sequel to the first Karate Kid." |
Dan Lybarger |
Splat |
Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"Will they fall in love? Does Fabio use conditioner?" |
Robert W. Butler |

Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale (2001) |
"What's really intriguing is the journey into a man's heart and intellect." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2/4 |
Keeping Mum (2006) |
"There's only so much even the best actors can do with a sloppy script, and Keeping Mum can't get over its lack of focus." |
Loey Lockerby |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Kicking and Screaming (2005) |
"Tired rehash of every bad kiddie-sports movie ever made." |
Loey Lockerby |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002) |
"One of the best inside-show-biz yarns ever." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |
"Content? Not important. Here delivery is everything, and Tarantino delivers like a man born with film developer pumping through his veins." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) |
"Vol. 2 slowly wears out its welcome with its empty oratory." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 4/4 |
Killer of Sheep (1977) |
"Don’t go to Killer of Sheep expecting a conventional movie experience. This is an art film, a realistic-yet-poetic examination of a time and place and the people stranded there." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The King (2006) |
"The real acting sparks are generated by Hurt, delivering an absolutely sincere performance as a reformed sinner basking in God's love." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat |
King Arthur (2004) |
"Dreary going, occasionally impressive on a technical level but uninspired as narrative or historic inquiry." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato |
The King is Alive (2001) |
"May seem self-consciously arty, but in the playing it grabs us early and doesn't let go." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3/4 |
King Kong (2005) |
"Despite all the overkill and side trips, the film still succeeds at telling the story of a woman and the gorilla who loves her." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 5/5 |
The King of Comedy (1982) |
"Probably Martin Scorsese's most overlooked movie, this eerie parody of celebrity culture features what may be Jerry Lewis' best performance." |
Dan Lybarger |
Tomato |
King Of The Corner (2005) |
"The things we’ve always appreciated in Riegert as an actor -- a laid-back sardonicism and deadpan delivery of witheringly wicked lines -- serve him well in his feature directing debut." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Kingdom (2007) |
"Sinks into a jingoistic action film cliché." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato |
Kingdom Come (2001) |
"An engaging family portrait of real people dealing with death and one another." |
Leah Green |
Splat 2/4 |
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) |
"Scott once again proves himself an inept director of action." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2/4 |
Kinky Boots (2006) |
"Jarrold's film reportedly is based on fact, but that doesn't stop it from seeming pretty preposterous." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato |
Kinsey (2004) |
"The movie is a lot like its central character: precise, clinical, probing and often terribly amusing in its full-steam-ahead approach to topics that make most of us blush. But it's an emotionally cool experience." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) |
"I was at first entertained but eventually exhausted by all the movie references, which become maddeningly self-congratulatory." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato |
Kiss of the Dragon (2001) |
"[Besson] gives his leading man plenty of room in which to demonstrate his genuinely awesome fighting skills." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008) |
"That Kit largely succeeds is testament to not only its timing but also its craft." |
David Frese |
Splat |
A Knight's Tale (2001) |
"Once you get past the central conceit, Helgeland's plotting slips into a rut." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato |
Knocked Up (2007) |
"As he did with Virgin, Apatow here pulls off the not inconsiderable feat of making the crude seem somehow endearing. There’s something in the Apatow style that makes palatable material that in the hands of other directors would be tasteless." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Knowing (2009) |
"This is a strange, scatterbrained hybrid of disaster movie and theologically minded science fiction. It’s like The Happening with math." |
Loey Lockerby |
Splat 1/5 |
Krippendorf's Tribe (1998) |
"Look at Richard Dreyfuss on the poster, weep for him, and then rent something else." |
Shawn Bowers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kung Fu Hustle (2005) |
"It may not be a classic, but 'Kung Fu Hustle' is a playful, unpredictable comedy, overflowing with the impishly clever personality of its maker." |
Eric Melin |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kung Fu Panda (2008) |
"Kung Fu Panda is one gorgeous movie. If only the story and comedy were half as absorbing." |
