Harry: I peed on the corpse. Can they do, like, and ID from that?
Perry: I'm sorry, you peed on...?
Harry: On the corpse. My question is...
Perry: No, my question. I get to go first. Why in plu-perfect hell would you pee on corpse?
A very funny murder mystery mixed with...( read more)
A Fast paced dark comedy, Downey Jr & Kilmer work really well together. A refreshing return from Mr Shane Black!
This movie was not at all what I anticipated. The actors who were in it, the movie description, hell even the dvd case art led me to expect something completely different. What I actually ended up seeing was a weird combination that was odd and slightly amusing at the same time.

I still think the title is stupid but I really enjoyed this movie mainly due to the fact its pretty darn funny and Downy, Jr and Kilmer are gold together. Plus with Shane Black both penning and directing this doesn't hurt either.
A dark black comedy with a sharp story and confident and sarcastic chracters making it more edgy and natural, even with such a unplausable plot.
Robert Downey Jr's back from the dead film. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is hillarious. Robert Downey Jr plays Harry, a new movie star doing a research for his new role. Therefore he must tag along Perry Van Shriek, a supercool gay detective played brilliantly by Vl Kilmer. Harry's stupi...( read more)
Perry : Look up "idiot" in the dictionary. You know what you'll find?
Harry: A picture of me?
hahaha, obviously one of the funniest movie ever, great sense of humour, great play by RDJ.,
the beauty of sossamon and monaghan completes the movie..
This movie is stupid and entertaining. make us thinking about the story. this movie is supported by good actor and actress, and a mixed story between comedy, action and thriller. great!
A silly, self-reflexive lark oozing spitfire sarcasm and nonchalant cool. full review
Pretty damned funny in its insubstantial, gratuitously violent, gratuitously everything way. full review
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang contains a lot of comedy and invention, but doesn't much benefit from its clever style. full review
The best director for Shane Black's unique style of writing just might be Shane Black. full review
Shane Black's film noir is a movie with no particular reason for existing, a flashy, trifling throwaway whose surface cleverness masks a self-infatuated credulity. full review
Interesting cast and plot. I want to see this, almost rented this a while ago but changed mind not it's on my to watch list.
Certainly one of the best films i saw last year, could be described as a funny film noir? i guess thats what its narratively closest to!
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is is extremely unique, often hilarious and a load of fun. Kilmer, Downey and Monaghan make for a great team.
I'd tell you Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a shot of adrenaline in the arm for the genre, but the question is, WHICH genre? This movie couldn't be bothered to adhere to the conventions of one. Part comedy, part thriller, part commentary on Hollywood, I want to start a petition to create a fresh genre: "The Very Excellent Shane Black-esque Movie".
Full of unfunny sarcastic observations. Action scenes seem a bit out of place, and the narration became more of an annoyance as the movie went on
Im going to take the risk and said that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the best comedy i have ever seen in my life. If its not it deserves everything good. Big unstoppable laughs, great action, super original, the cast play awesome at this creative characters, man i cant wait to buy it and watch it again. Where have been hide Robert Downey Jr. the comedian all this time, man youre the best.
