WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Samiam3 "It's beyond classification." so says Roger Ebert. I'll agree to that, Pumpkin is a messI do not see what is to like about this film which is over directed, amateurishly written, and childishly acted. It is muddled and unfocused, and denies brains, humour and heart. One minute it is sappy and plushy, and the next it is sour and sleazy. The sheer yuckiness of this movie is offencive. This pumpkin is rotten and it stinks.The first step to repairing the movie is to fire Christina Ricci and hire someone who can act. Ricci's performance is absolutely dreadful, Why did she not receive a golden raspberry award. The next step to repairing this film would be to give it some direction. The central premise concerns Ricci's character falling in love with a disabled boy who she is tutoring, and their relationship starts to screw up her life and her local reputation. Why couldn't this movie have been a strait forward romantic/comedy? Simplicity is often the best approach right. Instead the movie tries to integrate three or four subplots which lead absolutely nowhere, and in an attempt to bring all the connections together, Pumpkin takes forever to end.I laughed once, maybe twice and that was it. If this is supposed to be a comedy, where is the humour? There is nothing remotely funny about this movie, nor is there anything charming, romantic, or original about it. It is an overdone, artificial wreck of a motion picture that belongs in the trash.

piXelpiXelpiXel This thing should be an embarrassment to all involved. It is almost as if it was intentionally horrible.It is difficult to list each and every way this was an utter waste of time, even as it was on in the background on a cable channel that is paid for no matter what it shows.If you are considering actually spending money or time on this, do yourself a favor, take a few hours throwing pennies, slowly, one-by-one, into a wishing well, hoping it is never aired again under any circumstances, other than in Gitmo.Unless you are the world's greatest drooling Ricci fan, make time to avoid this.

tulipbooty One of the most neglected aspects of living with a disability is addressed in this dark comedy--sexuality. Christina Ricci is not the best actress, but no one plays a frothy bitch with the same charisma, and her talents are well used.The topic is addressed through the absurdist humor of the director; it is not overt and there are no easy cues for the audience to follow. In fact, the film pays the audience the rare compliment of expecting them to figure out the themes for themselves.The only disappointment I had with this tale of a Sorority sister reluctantly falling in love with the disabled Pumpkin was his self administered rehabilitation. The more interesting aspects of the film would have come across much more powerfully had he remained as she met him.

alexey_kay This is the worst movie I have seen, and I'm a big movie buff. This is my first comment for movies, I felt obliged to write it. I have never seen anything worse than this. I mean, it is not just bad in a sense that it is boring, you can't finish watching it. It is so ridiculously bad, plot less and amateur that I had to watch and re-watch it. I highly recommend everyone to watch, just because it is so ridiculously bad. It starts off like one of those transformation movies - she is a shallow blond, who would be transformed by her experience with a mentally handicapped boy. That mentally handicapped boy falls in love with her, sleeps with her and K.O.'s her 6 foot plus boyfriend. The boyfriend, is so ashamed, goes on to drive off a 100 foot rock cliff, and survives, after his car explodes (!) in mid air. Not a scratch on him, not a burn mark, but he does break his back. Not to worry, he becomes the coach for the handicapped team in the end. This is so bad; you have to watch it to appreciate any other movie over this.
