Keeping Up With Kim Kardashian's Frenzied Film-Criticism Career
You know her butt, her baby and her bae. But odds are, you don’t know about Kim Kardashian’s unofficial gig as one of the country’s most prolific armchair film critics. Earlier this week, the 34-year-old TV star tweeted her reaction to Fifty Shades of Grey after catching an early screening (“OMG it’s sooooo good!!!!!”). But that’s just one of many mini-reviews Kardashian has written over the past few years, in which she’s opined about everything from Gone Girl (“OMG”) to The Social Network (“WOW”) to Why Do Fools Fall in Love (“Larenz Tate!”).
In fact, Kardashian’s written so many 140-words-or-less critiques, she’s established and revealed a distinct critical pattern: Take a female-skewing movie, addlots of positivity and bam, you’ve got a Kim K review. She’s Leonard Maltin in Louboutins.
For those interested in her film-criticism career, we’ve gathered up as many of her reviews as we can find in the Kardashian canon, broken down by our own self-imposed star system. Think of this as Roger Ebert’s Movie Yearbook for people who have E! Online as their homepage:
