Donald J. Levit |
Splat |
P.S. I Love You (2007) |

Geoff Roberts |
Splat |
P2 (2007) |
"'P2' may not be as gross as 'Captivity,' but it features the same tendency to drag out its already thin premise." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
P2 (2007) |
"The real strength of 'P2' lies with Franck Khalfoun's deft direction and Maxime Alexandre's ominous and brooding cinematography" |
Geoff Roberts |

"The Pacifier is really hilarious and one of my favorite films so far this year." |
Diana Saenger |
Tomato |
The Page Turner (2007) |
"This quiet eighty-five-minute revenge suspenser dances to the essentials of music in cadence, pauses, tension balanced against relaxation." |

Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |

Diana Saenger |
Splat |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |

Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |

John P. McCarthy |

A Perfect Getaway (2009) |

A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
A Perfect Getaway (2009) |
"If you enjoyed Timothy Olyphant as the determined sheriff in HBO's 'Deadwood,' you'll be surprised at how good he is playing a very different type of role here." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
A Perfect Getaway (2009) |
"What looks like a 'Survivor' rip-off is actually an ideal summer flick boasting beautiful scenery, hard bodies and shrewdly deranged minds." |
John P. McCarthy |
Splat |
The Perfect Man (2005) |
"A plodding romantic comedy without any life or sparkle to it." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Perfect Score (2004) |

Perfect Stranger (2007) |

Jeffrey Chen |
Splat 4/10 |
Peter Pan (2003) |
"Hogan doesn't know when to start and stop playing down to his audience of children, and so he turns the immature goofiness on and off without warning." |

Splat |
The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes (2006) |

Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
The Pink Panther 2 (2009) |
"Spends most of its time recycling the original's gags. Once that well runs dry, the film pretty much slaps everyone with a funny accent and calls it a day." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Pinocchio (2002) |
"Even Pinocchio himself would pan this flick." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |

"Phony yet fun, thanks mostly to a marvelous soundtrack." |
John P. McCarthy |

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"Confusing double-crosses and half-hearted stabs at comic rigmarole leave the viewer of 'At World's End' in the doldrums." |
