P.S. (2004) |
"Strains credibility." |

Splat 2/4 |
P.S. I Love You (2007) |
"P.S. I Love You commits several cinematic blunders, but the biggest one may be its attempt to turn Hilary Swank into a romantic lead." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1/4 |
P2 (2007) |
"Though the filmmakers probably believe it becomes some sort of female-empowerment vehicle in the end, it's really just another thriller that relishes in the victimization of women." |

Splat 1.5/4 |
The Pacifier (2005) |
"Essentially the same move Schwarzenegger made with his supposedly family-friendly comedy Kindergarten Cop, only The Pacifier is even dumber and considerably more crass." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2/4 |
The Package (1989) |
"Style and drive are everything in movies that have storylines that don't hold up to scrutiny, and The Package is as flat and bland as they come." |
Chris Hicks |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Page Turner (2007) |
"Has a curiously unsatisfying ending, and there's some material that leaves a somewhat scuzzy patina." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Pagemaster (1994) |
"The Pagemaster's problems can be easily traced back to the screenplay, which simply lacks anything remotely resembling wit." |
Chris Hicks |
Splat 2/4 |
The Painted Veil (2006) |
"Redemption comes far too late in The Painted Veil, an aloof and disappointing adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's 1920s novel that features one of the more unlikable, self-involved main characters in recent memory." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"This one has mind-blowing visuals that employ many 'organic' effects (del Toro prefers to use makeup prosthetics and other devices, eschewing computer graphics)." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 4/4 |
Pandora's Box (1928) |
"It's a stunning film, no question, with sexuality that is quite frank for its day, effective atmosphere and, of course, Brooks' stunning performance." |
Chris Hicks |

Panic (2000) |
"Much smarter and more perceptive than you might have thought." |

Panic Room (2002) |

The Paper (1994) |
"The characterizations, the eccentricities, the feverish sense of pursuing a deadline story and an awful lot of other particulars that show just how defiantly dedicated and frenetically frenzied the members of the fourth estate can be, are dead on." |
Chris Hicks |
Splat 2/4 |
Paper Clips (2004) |
"It would be easier to forgive first-timers Elliot Berlin and Joe Fab for their offenses against good documentary filmmaking if they weren't messing up such sure-fire material." |

Paranoid Park (2008) |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Parenthood (1989) |
"The performances are all wonderful, each actor having received some sort of acting plum and each giving it his all. Director Ron Howard is very good at comedy, and his timing is expert throughout the film." |
Chris Hicks |
Tomato 3/4 |
Paris (2009) |
"You can't really argue with a film that tells us we should be good to one another, celebrates the importance of family and suggests we should live our lives to the fullest." |

Paris 36 (2008) |

Patriot Games (1992) |

Paulie (1998) |
"This live-action comedy has its faults (in particular, a couple of out-of-place flatulence jokes), but it's also more clever and kind-hearted than you might expect." |

Pay It Forward (2000) |
"This contrived, even maudlin, drama bludgeons its underlying points home with the subtlety of a sledgehammer smash to the cranium." |
