Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is as deep and as much fun as its title: That is, not very, and quite a lot.

Kiss Kiss is such a delightful bombardment, we barely notice that Black's convoluted, serpentine plot doesn't make a lick of sense.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is as much fun as the title suggests, and packed with banter that rolls off the tongue just as easily.
December 14, 2014
A self-referential noir-screwball-action movie that never wears out its welcome -- although it delights in taking that risk, over and over again.
December 14, 2014
A sarky, sniping film noir homage that assassinates the character of every LA archetype you could imagine.

The plot of the film is almost willfully convoluted. But it's also largely beside the point, an excuse for quite a few good scenes, most of them equal parts homage and subversion.

Jumpy and ironic, Downey is a quicksilver delight and Kilmer is funny as the gay Perry.

Ideally mindless and entertaining in every way.

Part comedy, part romance and part crime caper, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is one of the most entertaining and original films of the year.
November 27, 2007
[A] cheerful mess of a pulp-fiction parody, pumped full of laughs by Michelle Monaghan, Val Kilmer, and Robert Downey Jr.
December 14, 2014
It's the year's most go-for-broke movie -- weird, silly, sad, and the hardest I've laughed at anything that wasn't The Aristocrats.

[Robert Downey Jr. is] the quickest, sharpest, slyest and wryest comic actor on the screen.
