The Pacifier (2005) |
"Vin Diesel's new movie may not pacify his extreme-action-addict fans looking for an adrenaline fix, but it is a nice little Disney film that is a surprisingly pleasant way to spend time with the family." |

The Painted Veil (2006) |
"It's a grim, demanding movie, but the acting is marvelous and the scenery breathtaking. If you're looking for a film to match the post-holiday blues, here it is. And it's very good." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |

Palindromes (2005) |
"Unlike anything you've seen at the movies. Plus, the picture is often redeemed by the director's daunting intelligence and pitch-black humor." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato A- |
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"Pan's Labyrinth is del Toro's home run. He's delivered a film full of power, beauty, horror and, ultimately, sadness." |
Bob Longino |

Panic (2000) |
"It's less the plot than the texture that makes the film such an engaging surprise." |

Panic Room (2002) |
"Suffers from a bad case of TMS -- Too Much Stupidity." |

Paper Clips (2004) |
"The story becomes more about the collection of the paper clips and less and less about what the paper clips represent." |

Paradise Now (2005) |
"The movie is driven by the characters' passionate, despairing arguments about the fine line between victimization and violence. But Paradise Now also has, at times, an almost surreal visual flair." |

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"This is a movie so singular, so intense, so overwhelming that it simply has to be experienced." |

The Patriot (2000) |
"A rip-snorting good flick that breaks the cinematic jinx against Revolutionary War stories." |

Paycheck (2003) |

Peaceful Warrior (2006) |

The Perfect Man (2005) |
"The script sends one mixed message after another. What are we to feel about a woman who uses a parent-faculty meeting to place a public personals ad for herself as her child cringes, or who, well -- how else do you put this? -- seems pretty, um, easy." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat D+ |
The Perfect Score (2004) |
"Despite the serious subject matter, director Brian Robbins can't decide whether this is a drama, a satire or an American Pie-style teen spoof, and the film dissolves into a shapeless, weightless mass." |
Melinda Ennis |
Tomato B+ |
The Perfect Storm (2000) |
"When so many movies promise a roller-coaster ride, Storm is one of the few that delivers more than noise." |

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) |
"Jack the Ripper meets Scent of a Woman in Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, an example of why certain books are deemed unfilmable, no matter how talented those involved are." |

The Pianist (2002) |
"In creating his one-man epic, Polanski takes us beyond the horror of evil or the banality of evil. He takes us into its hideous absurdity." |

The Piano Teacher (2002) |

Pink Panther (2006) |
"The prospect of reviving Peter Sellers' Pink Panther character, Inspector Jacques Clouseau, may not tickle anyone pink, but Steve Martin's version isn't nearly as bad as you'd think." |

Pitch Black (2000) |
"In the movie's last hour, writer-director David Twohy pretends to explore his stick figures' moral choices, and he forgets to deliver the thrills." |

Planet of the Apes (2001) |
"The movie isn't interested in scoring any genuine cultural points; it just recycles second-hand social cliches while biding time for the big chases and generic action scenes." |

Pooh's Heffalump Movie (2005) |
"Apparently the Disney folks don't even bother with A.A. Milne anymore. They just borrow his characters and do with them what they will -- which mostly means cramming toy stores with plush Poohs, Piglets and Eeyores." |

Pootie Tang (2001) |
"Cheaply made stuff, patently stupid and, most of the time, a pure pleasure to watch." |

Poseidon (2006) |
"Poseidon is just a string of neat-o special effects in search of something that passes for a story line on which to drape itself." |

Possession (2002) |
"Certainly worth seeing -- it's the class act to close the summer -- but the film misses some crucial charge, an innate energy that was in the book that didn't translate to the movie." |

The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002) |
"This movie is one of the few American creations that is both gleeful pop culture and exquisite high art." |

A Prairie Home Companion (2006) |
"A Prairie Home Companion is as heartwarming as a plate of Powdermilk Biscuits, as unexpected as a slice of rhubarb pie and as wistful as a chorus of Red River Valley." |
