Splat 2.5/4 |
K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) |
"This isn't a bad movie, just an uninspired one." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat |
K-Pax (2001) |
"When Kevin Spacey's thinks-he's-a-spaceman mental patient tells his psychiatrist, 'For an educated person, Mark, you repeat things quite a bit,' he essentially summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of the movie K-PAX." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kamikaze Girls (2005) |
"What the film does say, with infectious exuberance, is that in a world in which shopping trumps all, it's so much nicer to go with a friend." |
|
Tomato |
Kandahar (2001) |
"This movie blows away simple notions of good, bad and righteousness like so much dust in a sandstorm." |
Bob Strauss |
Splat .5/4 |
Kangaroo Jack (2003) |
"No mere waste of time and energy -- it's a lazy and boring waste of time and energy." |
Evan Henerson |
Splat |
Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"Suffers from a complete lack of conviction in its material." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Keeping Up With The Steins (2006) |
"... the comedy is too timid to really make much of a satirical statement." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006) |
"Lu Chuan's film may be an old-fashioned outdoor adventure. But it's a harrowing one that leaves little doubt that there are some outdoor regions human beings have no business in, however noble their reasons for going there." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato |
Kenny (2008) |
"Don't worry, though; Kenny isn't so realistic that you can smell it." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Keys to the House (2004) |
"We always understand why these people feel the way they do and, remarkably, believe we well might act the same were we in their shoes." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kicking and Screaming (2005) |
"Presents an almost human side of Will Ferrell. And you know what? He's funnier than ever playing a regular guy. Or, at least, trying to." |

The Kid & I (2005) |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002) |
"It's Bob's story, and he's so good and so experienced at telling it, you wouldn't want to ride through hell with anyone but him as your tour guide." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 4/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |
"A movie that will separate the true cinema lovers from ... well, just about everyone who has another set of values." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 4/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) |
"Kill Bill - Vol. 2 finishes the job -- and then some." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2.5/4 |
King Arthur (2004) |
"While King Arthur isn't a waste of time, per se, the story hasn't exactly been reinvented in a way that makes its two hours compelling viewing." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato |
The King is Alive (2001) |
"May start out on a premise as seemingly misguided as the route taken by its hapless travelers, but it ends up, like Lear, as a fever dream of the destruction exposure to true nature, human and otherwise, can visit on the human soul." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 4/4 |
King Kong (2005) |
"It cannot be oversold: Jackson is so far ahead of every director making these epic, effects-laden event movies that it's really not even fair." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2/4 |
King of California (2007) |
"Michael Douglas clearly enjoys himself while Evan Rachel Wood looks appropriately exasperated throughout King of California. My sympathies were with her." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) |
"That there is a controversy (admittedly, one that's followed by, oh, 23 people) over who actually has racked up the most points playing an old-school video game is among the more amusing revelations in [an] entertaining, if extremely slanted documentary." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato |
Kingdom Come (2001) |
"A lightweight, generally pleasant dramedy." |
Bob Strauss |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) |
"Another in a recent line of sword-swinging epics that insists on adding ideas to bloody spectacle." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kings and Queen (2005) |
"An intelligent story is being told here in a very artful manner. That's quite a worthy accomplishment. I think." |
Bob Strauss |
2.5/4 |
Kinky Boots (2006) |
"The movie is safe and predictable as a pair of loafers." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kinsey (2004) |
"Whatever you might think about Kinsey's research methods and findings, Kinsey succeeds marvelously in its depiction of how his pioneering work sent shock waves into 1950s America." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato 4/4 |
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) |
"Storytelling, performance and visual literacy this brilliant may be out of style, but I can't imagine anyone who sees Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang not coming out panting for more." |
Bob Strauss |
Splat |
Kiss of the Dragon (2001) |
"Without generating any compassion for its characters, Dragon plays like one long martial arts movie with a bunch of bad acting and dialogue between the fight scenes." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kissing Jessica Stein (2002) |
"... a charming, well-acted, observant and tough-minded inquiry into the elusive nature of love." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008) |
"But then, Kit, written by Ann Peacock and directed by Patricia Rozema, is that rare all-ages movie that never talks down to its audience and isn't afraid to use history to illuminate current times." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kitchen Stories (2004) |
"Against all odds, it turns out, everyday life in a Scandinavian kitchen can be quite a show." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kite Runner (2007) |
"The actors, and the many cultural specifics the movie imparts, overcome the script's deficiencies." |
Bob Strauss |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Klimt (2006) |
"Klimt is obviously not a dumb film, but it is one big ol' fruitcake of a movie." |
Bob Strauss |
Splat |
A Knight's Tale (2001) |
"For every joke that connects, there are three that are obvious and superfluous; for every jousting scene that rouses, there are 10 (20, 30?) that gallop nowhere." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Knockaround Guys (2002) |
"The movie takes itself too seriously and, as a result, it makes for only intermittent fun." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato 3/4 |
Knocked Up (2007) |
"It's the Sideways of the Something About Mary subgenre, a raunchy cartoon laughfest that takes its emotional issues dead seriously." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kontroll (2005) |
"It makes Euroflash metro thrillers like Luc Besson's Subway look about as serious as a ride on Disneyland's monorail." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kung Fu Hustle (2005) |
"Mayhem doesn't get much more fun than Kung Fu Hustle makes it." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kung Fu Panda (2008) |
"DreamWorks Animation's best movie since Shrek." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kurt Cobain About a Son (2007) |
"A deeply personal movie about a gifted, complicated man who could never shake the feeling that he didn't belong." |
Glenn Whipp |
