Critics Consensus

The messy Pumpkin wastes its premise by not making the satire sharp enough.

Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel This is the sort of Pumpkin that really deserves to be smashed. Rated: 1/5 Aug 16, 2002 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader By presenting an impossible romance in an impossible world, Pumpkin dares us to say why either is impossible -- which forces us to confront what's possible and what we might do to make it so. Rated: 3/4 Aug 7, 2002 Full Review Terry Lawson Detroit Free Press Though Pumpkin extends its jaundiced joke too far, it's almost worth it for Ricci's final scene, which tells us everything we need to know about what will become of her. Rated: 3/4 Aug 2, 2002 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com I will acknowledge that I have yet to find any of my friends who've seen this film that truly embraced it on the level that I do. Rated: 4.0/4.0 Sep 1, 2020 Full Review Tracy Moore Common Sense Media Black comedy about disability full of profanity, sex. Rated: 2/5 Jul 1, 2014 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed One of the worst films of 2002. Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Adiya A The filmmaker's sensitive ideas made the film more accessible to more people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Patrick W Wow. The last shot made it. Surprised by all the hate Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Naran B Гайхалтай үзэх урамтай Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Bahad j In my opinion, I felt that the movie was very good, behind all this, the filmmaker was able to come up with the right festive details to congratulate the members of the behind-the-scenes team. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Jed B Is this a really smart satire or a really offensive comedy or has it not made up its mind about which it wants to be? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review E G This film was a gigantic pitty party for a dumb woman that doesn't know what she wants. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
