K-Pax (2001) |
"Kevin Spacey, consummate actor that he is, avoids the preachiness that would have resulted if, say, Robin Williams had played the part." |

Tomato B+ |
Kabluey (2008) |

Kangaroo Jack (2003) |
"This is a a simple-minded comedy of errors in which a lot of errors are made, but few of them are truly comedic." |

Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"An amusing diversion while we're waiting for something better to come along." |

Keeping Mum (2006) |

Kickin' It Old Skool (2007) |
"Kennedy believes he is one of those performers whose every move is funny, who can keep an audience in stitches simply by falling down or looking confused. He is mistaken." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Kicking and Screaming (2005) |
"It plays to Ferrell's strengths: his Everyman normality, as well as his gift for silly, merry lunacy." |

Kikujiro (2000) |
"Kikujiro is a failure of a movie, an utter mess that manages to be irritating and offensive IN ADDITION to being the worst thing a film can be: deadly boring." |

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |
"An indulgent, outlandish, and thoroughly entertaining ballet of blood." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) |
"Watching it is like watching a symphony. You know every part, even for the lesser-used instruments, has been composed deliberately, with concern for the product as a whole." |

The King (2006) |

Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
King Arthur (2004) |
"King Arthur is a good enterprise, and it makes a good run at it, but by the last act, it's just the same old Saxon violence." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
King Kong (2005) |
"It's an epic experience, three solid hours of high-flying entertainment and special effects wizardry" |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
King of California (2007) |
"It's barely distinguishable from the many other independent films about eccentric people who do odd things, but hey, it ain't bad." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
King Of The Corner (2005) |
"Amusing, but not the sort of transcendent human comedy that it wants to be. It is, instead, a middling one, certainly watchable but by no means special." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat F |
King's Ransom (2005) |
"Mean-spirited, unpleasant comedy about characters who are both nasty and stupid and who deserve every bad thing that happens to them. In fact, they deserve more." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
The Kingdom (2007) |
"Offers the satisfaction of a crowd-pleasing police procedural -- the mystery is solved; the bad guys are caught -- tempered with the uneasiness of a terrorism thriller." |

Kingdom of Heaven (2005) |

Kinky Boots (2006) |
"I can't think of any reason for you to see it, but I can't think of any reason not to, either." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
Kinsey (2004) |
"It overstates its subject's importance just a bit, but it also covers an impressive number of sides to the story, making the doctor a human being and not just a sex object." |
Eric D. Snider |

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) |
"'Tis the season for over-the-top violence and delightfully absurdist humor!" |

Kissing Jessica Stein (2002) |
"Romantic comedies have needed a dose of intelligence and depth for quite a while, and Kissing Jessica Stein has just the thing." |

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008) |
"The movie gets by largely on its guileless, upbeat charm, and on those same qualities as found in Abigail Breslin." |

The Kite Runner (2007) |
"It's the kind of film whose major accomplishment is to make you think, 'Wow, the book is probably really good. I should have stayed home and read it.'" |

Knocked Up (2007) |
"It's a near-perfect mix of juvenility and intelligence, and of coarseness and sweetness." |

Knowing (2009) |
"In the end, the whole thing's rather preposterous -- but you gotta admire Proyas' nerve for going there." |

Kramer Vs. Kramer (1979) |
"Hoffman excels at being an Everyman, a modern professional whose life is rearranged by a child, a movie cliché that he pulls off without a trace of melodrama." |

Krippendorf's Tribe (1998) |
"In order to find Krippendorf's Tribe funny, you must agree with it on one fundamental principle: Penises are funny." |

Kung Fu Hustle (2005) |
"Wildly funny and inventive, a giddy re-imagining of martial-arts flicks that might be one of the most audaciously entertaining films of the year." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Kung Fu Panda (2008) |
"It's slick, energetic, and entertaining enough to separate it from most of the in-it-for-the-cash animated products that the studios have been cranking out the last few years." |

Kung Pow! (2002) |
"Oedekerk wrote Patch Adams, for which he should not be forgiven. Why he was given free reign over this project -- he wrote, directed, starred and produced -- is beyond me." |
