June 12, 2009This 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.

May 17, 2009I 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.

January 3, 2009Ohhh yeahhh baby what a FUN movie...Shane Black is a great writer. Robert Downey before he made his "huge comeback." Assholes should have seen this movie and Zodiac if they wanted to see his comeback...America was ASLEEP on Downey

A silly, self-reflexive lark oozing spitfire sarcasm and nonchalant cool. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Pretty damned funny in its insubstantial, gratuitously violent, gratuitously everything way. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang contains a lot of comedy and invention, but doesn't much benefit from its clever style. full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
The best director for Shane Black's unique style of writing just might be Shane Black. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
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

June 28, 2006Certainly 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!
-
June 19, 2006Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is is extremely unique, often hilarious and a load of fun. Kilmer, Downey and Monaghan make for a great team.

June 12, 2006I'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".

June 11, 2006Full 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

June 8, 2006Im 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.
