Splat
2/4

K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)

"K-19: The Widowmaker delivers Hollywood heroics, stock characters and heavy-handed sentimentality in a handsome but repetitive production."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato

Kandahar (2001)

"Makhmalbaf fully achieves his aim of showing life in a society devoid of hope (especially for women) and ruled by soul-crushing barbarians."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat

Kate and Leopold (2001)

"Has the sex appeal of a Road Runner cartoon, one-tenth the laughs and equal plausibility."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato
3/4

Kicking and Screaming (2005)

"Ferrell's ideally suited to man-boy characters, and that's what Phil Weston is."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato

The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002)

"Frank, hugely entertaining but hugely biased film."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)

"A bloated, simplistic, cartoonishly violent film."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat
1.5/4

King Arthur (2004)

"A grunting re-make of Tears of the Sun, the last movie from the same director, with villains wearing Conan the Barbarian-style furs instead of jungle fatigues."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato

The King is Alive (2001)

"A piece of art rather than reality -- and a slo-o-o-w piece of art, though it rewards your patience."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato
3/4

The Kingdom (2007)

"The movie isn't nearly as complex and challenging as Syriana, yet critics who dismiss it as jingoism miss the point."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat

Kingdom Come (2001)

"An ill-conceived series of vignettes in which no cliché remains unexplored, phony pathos drowns the ending and the characters are black Southern stereotypes."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato
3.5/4

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

"A war story that takes no sides because it takes all sides. And it's a period piece, set in the last decades of the 12th century after Christ, that resonates in a thoughtful way today."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat
1.5/4

Kinky Boots (2006)

"The betrayals, reconciliations and revelations are forced on us with clockwork precision, and no cliche goes unexplored."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato
3.5/4

Kinsey (2004)

"Neeson's performance is earnest, dogged, vivid, vital."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat

Kiss of the Dragon (2001)

"On the plus side, we have Jet Li ... On the minus side, we have everything else, especially that plot."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat

Kissing Jessica Stein (2002)

"It wouldn't be out of place on television, where its cultural stereotypes and comfortable humor belong."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat
2.5/4

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)

"Breslin keeps her cool and anchors the film in reality each time the camera crosses her face, but she fights a losing battle."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato
3/4

The Kite Runner (2007)

"Director Marc Forster and writer David Benioff might seem odd choices to adapt a book about such a place. But they have respectfully transformed Hosseini's novel."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat

Knockaround Guys (2002)

"I saw Knockaround Guys yesterday, and already the details have faded like photographs from the Spanish-American War ... It's so unmemorable that it turned my ballpoint notes to invisible ink."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato
3/4

Knocked Up (2007)

"Those of us whose diet includes two dozen romantic comedies a year may find Apatow's crass good nature appealing. Knocked Up has something to shock almost everyone but something to make almost everyone smile, too."

Lawrence Toppman

Splat
1.5/4

Knowing (2009)

"The slovenliness of the filmmaking is embarrassing."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato
3.5/4

Kung Fu Hustle (2005)

"Being a movie critic is like being a prospector: After almost 30 years of exploring terrain, you can stumble upon a streak of pure gold you've never seen. From the looks of Kung Fu Hustle, Stephen Chow is a mother lode."

Lawrence Toppman

Tomato
3.5/4

Kung Fu Panda (2008)

"Manic but hilarious Kung Fu Panda kicks its way onto the scene with irresistible force."

Lawrence Toppman
