P.S. (2004) |
"Laura Linney and Topher Grace do a great job in this recent Toronto Film Fest entry, hitting every emotional note the story calls for." |
Jim Slotek |
Splat 1/5 |
P.S. I Love You (2007) |
"A low point in the tear-stained history of sappy, shallow chick drivel." |
Kevin Williamson |
Tomato 3/5 |
P2 (2007) |
"It knows what it is and never purports to be anything but efficient and engrossing." |
Kevin Williamson |
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Pacifier (2005) |
"Laid out in such a rote manner that to call it by-the- numbers would be an insult to numbers." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Pacifier (2005) |
"A true family comedy with laughs for everyone and some honest insights into family dynamics." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Page Turner (2007) |
"Deliciously chilling." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 3/5 |
The Painted Veil (2006) |
"There's something missing at the heart of the film, some spark, and it may be nothing more than a lack of chemistry between Norton and Watts." |
Liz Braun |
Splat 2/5 |
Palindromes (2005) |
"We don't think we understood it. And that's after two viewings, just to be on the safe side." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"Rarely in film history has such elaborate fantasy been put in the service of such a profound and serious treatment of reality. But Pan's Labyrinth is an extraordinary film made by an exceptional visionary." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Tomato 3/5 |
Pandorum (2009) |
"If sci-fi is your thing, you could do worse." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 4/5 |
Panic Room (2002) |
"The sophisticated, superior performances [Fincher] coaxes from his entire cast start to layer in emotional subtext that lets this thriller chill your blood." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Tomato 4/5 |
Panic Room (2002) |
"Foster brings much more subtle depth and insight to her character than is normally associated with such genre thrillers." |

Paparazzi (2004) |
"If you've ever met paparazzi, you know they are more like hobbits, the better to slip in and out of crowds. They couldn't physically intimidate D.J. Qualls." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 3/5 |
Paper Heart (2009) |
"Charlyne Yi is so darn cute and self-effacing, I can just about forgive a further battering of the line between what's real and what's scripted." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Paprika (2007) |
"A relentlessly hallucinatory experience that only just manages to leave a dozen or so left-brain cells intact, enough to more-or-less support a plot." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Paradise Now (2005) |
"The film does not invite you to root for either side of the conflict, just to see these guys as human. It is almost impossible not to empathize with their intense personal struggle." |

Paranoid Park (2008) |
"Paranoid Park will be catnip for Van Sant fans (the music and cinematography are complicated and chewy) but potentially tough sledding for everybody else." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Paranormal Activity (2009) |
"Forget gaps in logic. Paranormal Activity is all about the night-frights, caught on night-vision video." |

Paris, Je T'aime (2007) |
"This one is different and it's charming." |
|
Splat 2.5/5 |
Partition (2007) |
"Partition is big and ambitious, but the storytelling gets too close to melodrama too often. The film is clunky, the acting fairly wooden; Neve Campbell seems to struggle with her English accent." |
Liz Braun |
Splat 1/5 |
Party Monster (2003) |

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"Gibson has succeeded in making the definitive look at the final 12 hours in the life of Jesus, with a movie that is gut-wrenching in both its violence and inhumanity." |
Drew McAnulty |
Splat 1/5 |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"It's just bad storytelling." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"Will rightfully be considered a landmark achievement not only for the passionate responses it is causing but because Gibson was able to give one of the oldest and best-known stories in literature such contemporary resonance and power." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Splat 2/5 |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"The director claims he had no intention of making an anti-Semitic film and we tend to believe him, in much the same way we believe Larry Flynt when he says he's not misogynist." |

"It's for the consumers of delicious Made In America hokum." |

Pauline and Paulette (2002) |
"While the film really doesn't have anything new to say, it's still thoughtful and well-crafted." |

Pay It Forward (2000) |
"A good movie that could have surely been a great one if the producers had had the guts to present reality as it is." |
John Paul Powell |
Tomato 4/5 |
Payback (1999) |
"The strangest marriage of '30s noir and '90s hyper-action imaginable, and if the end result is a sort of cartoon, it's a fun cartoon to look at." |
