Critics Consensus

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

Orlando Sentinel

This is the sort of Pumpkin that really deserves to be smashed.

Rated: 1/5

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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.
