A woodcarver creates a puppet (Roberto Benigni) that longs to become a real boy.

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.

What can one say about a balding 50-year-old actor playing an innocent boy carved from a log?

Rated: 1/4

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.

Film Frenzy

Joyless, idiotic, annoying, heavy-handed, visually atrocious, and often downright creepy.

Rated: 1/4

Common Sense Media

Live-action dubbed puppet story is creepy and lacks humor.

Creepy and stupid, this bland adaption of the classic "Pinocchio" story is weird, and not in a unique or entertaining way.
