First, let me say that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is one of my favorite recent films. I really enjoyed it and laughed throughout. I had heard great things about it, and I have to say it lived up to the hype. Loved it. Second, when did Val Kilmer get fat? Are he and Vince Vaughn going to same trainer, or do they both belong to some sort of In-n-Out Burger club (the best fast food ever for those of you east of the Rockies). After my initial shock of seeing the aforementioned bloated Kilmer wore off, I settled into KKBB nicely. Robert Downey Jr does a great job and it's amazing what laying off the coke will do for one's acting prowess. His character also serves as narrator and there's a ton o witty banter thrown in throughout the movie. I thought that would get annoying after the first 20 minutes or so, but he keeps it fresh and some of the stuff is pretty funny. So if you're in the mood for something a bit off-kilter and a movie that doesn't take it's self too seriously, check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. But prepare yourself for Kilmer because he's, uh, blossomed since his days in Real Genius. Oh, and even though I rarely do this, I actually watched the gag reel in the Special Features section...funny stuff. Enjoy.
