Pinocchio

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Roberto Benigni misfires wildly with this adaptation of Pinocchio, and the result is an unfunny, poorly-made, creepy vanity project.

Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader The recut American version is truly awful, but a good 75 percent of the awfulness is attributable to Miramax, the film's distributor. Jan 5, 2007 Full Review Edward Guthmann San Francisco Chronicle What can one say about a balding 50-year-old actor playing an innocent boy carved from a log? Rated: 1/4 Jan 3, 2003 Full Review Mark Peranson Village Voice What remains is a variant of the nincompoop Benigni persona, here a more annoying, though less angry version of the irresponsible Sandlerian manchild, undercut by the voice of the star of Road Trip. Jan 3, 2003 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Joyless, idiotic, annoying, heavy-handed, visually atrocious, and often downright creepy. Rated: 1/4 Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Live-action dubbed puppet story is creepy and lacks humor. Rated: 1/5 Feb 22, 2012 Full Review Eric D.
