Splat

K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

"What could have been a movie packed with historical significance and nail-gnawing underwater tension ends up little more than a lumbering public-service announcement for the human spirit."

Rex Reed

Splat

K-Pax (2001)

"As a brainless laugh riot, it's as funny as a flu epidemic. As a drama, it's an unintentional Robin Williams vehicle sour beyond its shelf life."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Kandahar (2001)

"We never see Nafas reach Kandahar, but we have been taken on a colorful and exhilarating trip just the same."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

Kangaroo Jack (2003)

"It's 89 minutes of pure agony without a laugh in sight."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Katyn (2007)

"As a portrait of hell on earth, Katyń deserves to be seen by anyone with a feeling for history, however horrifying it may be. Actually, it puts just about every other horror movie to shame."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Keane (2004)

"Mr. Lewis, a highly talented British actor, displays a flawless American accent in what amounts to a hyper-Wellesian monopolization of screen time and screen space."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Keane (2004)

"Lodge Kerrigan is a director worth watching, and Keane is a small wonder in a season of big but deadly, brainless blockbusters."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Keeping Mum (2006)

"Director Niall Johnson and his co-writer, Richard Russo, have shrewd eyes for quaint British mannerisms and keen ears for the eddies of their curious speech patterns."

Rex Reed

Splat

Kicking and Screaming (2005)

"A zero, but the title describes how the audience is likely to react, perfectly."

Rex Reed

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)

"I would argue that, in a bizarre way, Mr. Tarantino empowers women as no action-genre director before him ever has."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)

"People who stayed away from Vol. 1 because of its genre-dictated violence may find Vol. 2 so much fun that they'll want to catch up on Vol. 1."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Kill by Inches (2001)

"Starts out as a wickedly stylized, derisively grotesque contemplation of the obsessive world of the tailor, and gradually descends into the gruesome horror of a deadly sibling rivalry."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

The King (2006)

"The movie grows mean-spirited and ugly instead of psychologically stimulating or emotionally sound."

Rex Reed

Splat

King Kong (2005)

"Silly, pointless and obscenely overproduced."

Rex Reed

Tomato

King Leopold's Ghost (2006)

"King Leopold’s Ghost can be recommended as an economical education in one of the lesser-known atrocities of the capitalist system, as well as an eye-opening account of history’s most ruthless amasser of wealth."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

"The religious sentiment accumulates into a tower of politically correct Jell-O."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Kings and Queen (2005)

"Kings and Queen is a marvelously textured and civilized study of two tormented souls finding redemption not in each other, but in themselves and in other people."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Kinky Boots (2006)

"Kinky Boots is hilarious and poignant enough to suspend skepticism and erase doubts."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Kinsey (2004)

"Admirably adventurous."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Kinsey (2004)

"The great thing about Kinsey is the triumphant way it entertains, informs and electrifies us with the highest values of traditional cinema while opening our hearts and minds with the liberating potential of human diversity."

Rex Reed

Splat

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)

"Vulgar, noisy, pointless and stupid."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Kiss Me, Stupid (1964)

"I recommend Kiss Me, Stupid to the skeptical with no reservations whatsoever."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Kissing Jessica Stein (2002)

"What makes the film break the relatively new gay-film formula is the wit and charm of the two actresses, who have written themselves some sparkling lines."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)

"The movie and its pint-size star clear all hurdles subtly and valiantly with a surplus of charm, saving Kit Kittredge: American Girl from blandness and turning it into one of the summer’s most pleasing surprises."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Kitchen Stories (2004)

"Mr. Hamer never goes for belly laughs, preferring instead the smiles of quiet recognition from viewers who appreciate a change of pace from all the slobbering in recent movies."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Knocked Up (2007)

"Knocked Up isn’t going to help change the world or anything, but at the very least it may help take one’s mind off the relentlessly dismal headlines. I don’t know what greater service a mere movie can perform these days."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

Kung Fu Hustle (2005)

"The truth is that I haven't seen nearly enough unimaginative martial-arts movies to respond to Mr. Chow's bizarre flights of fancy."

Andrew Sarris
