70
Variety
Ken Eisner
Consistently amusing, candy-colored sex romp -- about romantic match-ups in Madrid that go both wrong and right.

70
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Made from a sophisticated European perspective, this is a light summer entertainment with an able, highly attractive cast.

70
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The performances by the highly attractive cast are terrific all around, and the directors have well managed to convey the literally and metaphorically sultry aspects of a hot summer day.

70
The New York Times
Dave Kehr
Unfolds, skipping blithely from comic to melodramatic vignettes and back again, it follows the classical structure of a Shakespearean forest comedy, sorting out the mismatched couples and finding appropriate mates (or at least appropriate friendships) for everyone involved.

70
Dallas Observer
David Ehrenstein
That's what separates good films from bad. And that's what makes Km. 0 stand out.

67
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
No more or less than it appears to be: a paean to the benevolent fate we'd like to believe watches over us.

63
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A light-footed comedy that suggests that for even the most desperate, love is just around the corner.

63
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Lightweight yet alluring.

60
LA Weekly
Chuck Wilson
There's lots of half-naked flesh on display, and an enticing sense of hot action afoot (especially between the two gay guys), but the directors seem timid about sex, and really, what's the point of being Spanish if you're afraid to show the good stuff?

60
Chicago Reader
Ted Shen
The film flits from one relationship to another, dispensing some well-acted bedroom scenes and a fair amount of angst and philosophical dialogue in a neighborhood bar.

50
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
A superficial diversion.

50
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
Aiming for Almodóvar lite, the flick is more reminiscent of "The Love Boat" -- drenched this time in cheery polysexuality. Everyone is an angel (and a horny little devil) in this breezy earthly trifle, even if the zaniness never quite takes wing.

50
Chicago Tribune
Ellen Fox
If only they had allowed their characters to develop naturally after those first mismatched meetings, Km. 0 might have ventured into more intriguing territory.

50
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Like any good soap opera, the script deftly flits among story lines, offering just enough tantalizing plot development to keep you sticking around for another bite.

50
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The movie treats all its characters kindly - especially in moments where it would be easy to go for the cheap shot - but theres either not enough froth or meat on its bones to sate the appetite.

42
Portland Oregonian
Shawn Levy
The stories don't resonate, the film has a drab look and feel, and it lacks the passionate zing with which the least of Almodovar's works teems.

38
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
There are more misses than hits among the myriad plot strands that make up the sweaty Spanish sex comedy KM.0.

38
Miami Herald
Marta Barber
One shallow film, that quickly returns to where it started: Zero.

20
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Scott Tobias
It's hard to fathom what they intended for this forgettable group of lonelyhearts, other than to choreograph a whopping 14 happy endings at once--all of them forced, none of them earned.
