KARATE KALLIE - A third-rate 3! Amateurish, uninspiring, low budget TV quality Afrikaans "feel-good" romantic comedy and underdog story. Like: Bakgat!
KARATE KID, THE - A solid 7! Respectful of the original, yet fresh enough to justify a remake, this family sports underdog actioner features good turns from leads. Like: The Karate Kid (1984)
KEITH - A solid 7! Heartwarming, romantic drama/tearjerker with good performances. Familiar content with unique edge. Like: A Walk to Remember
KENNY - A solid 7! An entertaining mockumentary based on the life of an Aussie toilet cleaner. Classy toilet humour! Like: The Office
KICK-ASS - A solid 7! Raunchy teen comedy meets superhero action in this violent, unconventional urban tale of crime, fantasy and mayhem. Like: Superbad, Spider-Man
KIDNAP - A flat 5! This Bollywood thriller doesn't have the script, story or chemistry to support its great action sequences. Like: Dhoom
KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, THE - A solid 7! A smart take on modern family values in this well-acted piece about a lesbian couple and their offspring's desire to reunite with their biological dad. Like: Happy Endings
KILL BULJO - A third-rate 3! Cheesy, camp and lame low budget Norweigan direct-to-DVD spoof of Tarantino's Kill Bill. Like: Austin Powers: Goldmember
KILL SWITCH - A flimsy 4! Straight-to-DVD Seagal-written action/thriller. Poor direction/editing and too many stunt doubles! Like: The Glimmer Man
KILLER ELITE - A satisfactory 6! A killer line-up bolster this entertaining-to-mediocre action flick with yet another typical kick-ass Statham performance. Like: Collateral Damage
KILLER PAD - A third-rate 3! Freddie Kruger directs a crude straight-to-DVD stinker, with Dude, Where's My Car? producers. Like: The Last Gateway
KILLERS - A flimsy 4! No sparkle from a miscast Kutcher and a lack of couple chemistry in this predictable, routine spy "romcom". Like: Mr & Mrs Smith
KILLSHOT - A satisfactory 6! Taut hit man thriller carried by strong performances, with a powerhouse turn by Mickey Rourke. Like: The Lookout
KING OF FIGHTERS - A flimsy 4! Too much talking, not enough action and flat characters make this half-baked video game adaptation dull and unnecessary. Like: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
KING'S SPEECH, THE - A near-perfect 9! Brilliant lead performances underpin this triumphant, difficult-to-fault historical drama about King George VI. Like: Good Night, and Good Luck
KINGS OF SOUTH BEACH - A flat 5! Tame yet entertaining nightclub crime TV movie based on a true story. Like: Miami Vice, Tropical Heat (TV)
KITE RUNNER, THE - An excellent 8! War, sacrifice and redemption are at the heart of this beautiful adaptation. Like: A Mighty Heart, Schindler's List
KNIGHT AND DAY - A satisfactory 6! Cruise and Diaz clear the way with their charming co-lead performances, despite a lack of romantic chemistry in this fresh, light and action-packed thrill ride. Like: The Italian Job
KNOWING - A satisfactory 6! Disaster action-thriller is ludicrous and shabby, yet terrifying and thought-provoking at the same time. Like: The Number 23
KUNG FU PANDA - A solid 7! Super martial arts action, slapstick comedy and flashy animation panda to great fun and entertainment. Like: Surf's Up
KUNG FU PANDA 2 - A solid 7! A darker introspective adventure for Po with dazzling visuals, choppy comedy and electrifying action sequences. Like: Kung Fu Panda
