Critics Consensus

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

This is the sort of Pumpkin that really deserves to be smashed. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader 08/07/2002
3/4
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. Go to Full Review
Terry Lawson Detroit Free Press 08/02/2002
3/4
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. Go to Full Review

Adiya A 08/24/2024 The filmmaker's sensitive ideas made the film more accessible to more people. See more Patrick W 08/23/2024 Wow. The last shot made it. Surprised by all the hate See more Naran B 08/19/2024 Гайхалтай үзэх урамтай See more Bahad j 07/07/2024 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. See more Amanda G 04/23/2023 As per usual Christina Ricci was amazing. The only thing I didn't like about the movie. Was the amount of times they said the R word. I have a disability, so that really bothered me. See more 07/29/2022 This movie is awesome & romantic. It kind of reminds me of me, and because I have a disability and that is Asperger's syndrome. I wish I find some as sweet as Christina Ricci. Plus, she's and amazing actress then & now. I also like when she played in the Adam's Family movies. See more Read all reviews
