Pumpkin's two greatest strengths: the majority of the film is original and engaging, and Christina Ricci turns in another fine performance. This pair of assets alone is worth the price of admission. ...read the complete Pumpkin movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Let me start by saying I loved this movie. It's funny, sweet, kind- hearted, campy and has an adorable lead actor in Hank Harris. That being said, I can't imagine who else might like this film.

Pumpkin (2002) scores a combined 3.00 out of 4 stars for ReelViews (James Berardinelli)ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
For approximately three-fourths of its nearly two-hour running time, Pumpkin finds the right balance between satire, black comedy, and offbeat drama. However, the quirky independent film loses its focus on its way to the finish line, stumbling through sev ...read the complete Pumpkin movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
