"Lost me about halfway through and never got me back." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
P.S. I Love You (2007) |
"The supporting roles are all handled well by experienced actors, and they have good material to work with." |
Loey Lockerby |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Painted Veil (2006) |
"Feels like a Masterpiece Theatre production -- solid enough, but at the same time oddly generic." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Palindromes (2005) |
"As much as Solondz's methodology may perplex us, you can't shake the feeling that something important is going on here, percolating between the waves of satire and outrageousness." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"In its supremely confident and effortless blend of the fantastic and the grittily realistic, Pan's Labyrinth not only compares favorably with Terry Gilliam’s best work (Brazil), it also exceeds it." |

Panic Room (2002) |
"A sly celebration of the sheer joy of moviemaking, filled with playful visual and aural tricks that tickle and delight." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Paper Clips (2004) |
"This is a modest film with a big heart that leaves you thinking that Anne Frank got it right: Basically people are good." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2/4 |
Paper Heart (2009) |
"The biggest drawback here is that Charlyne Yi has no screen presence." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Paprika (2007) |
"Paprika probably won’t win many converts to anime, but the faithful should be satisfied." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato |
Paranoid Park (2008) |
"All this will be way too arty for most viewers. But those willing to take a chance will find unexpected if hard-to-describe pleasures." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Parent Trap (1998) |
"A light-hearted Disney remake...Lohan makes an impressive debut." |
Shawn Bowers |

Paris, Je T'aime (2007) |
"They'll always have 'Paris:' KC producers guide prestigious entry in the Cannes Film Festival" |
Dan Lybarger |
Tomato |
Paris, Je T'aime (2007) |
"From comedy to drama, varied anthology is worth the trip." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Passenger (1975) |
"To watch Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1975 masterpiece is to see film the way it once was and may never be again." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"One thing is certain: Gibson has delivered a film so visceral, so unwavering in his commitment, that it makes most other Jesus movies look pale and tepid." |
Robert Trussell |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) |
"Paul Blart: Mall Cop is so inconsequential you forget about it even before the movie is over." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato |
Pay It Forward (2000) |
"Good acting combined with the audience's desire to see good done is enough to warrant a conservative recommendation for Pay It Forward." |
Brian McTavish |
Splat 2/4 |
Paycheck (2003) |
"There's only limited suspense and absolutely nothing like a character you can believe in." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2/4 |
Peaceful Warrior (2006) |
"Warrior is a good-looking film that feels more like an allegory about the power of positive thinking than a drama." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pearl Diver (2006) |
"This is only [King's] first feature, and if he can take a few more narrative risks without giving up his subtle style, he may become that rare director who can tackle spiritual issues without (literally) preaching to the choir." |
Loey Lockerby |
Splat |
Pearl Harbor (2001) |
"The dialogue is so unrelentingly banal as to make one reconsider whether James Cameron's writing on Titanic was really all that bad." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2/4 |
Penelope (2008) |
"Aspires to be a whimsical modern fairy tale about a princess, a family curse and self-acceptance but just can’t conjure up any magic." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat |
The Perfect Man (2005) |
"A tweener romantic comedy featuring dialogue so bad it could have been written by a 14-year-old girl." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2/4 |
The Perfect Score (2004) |
"Screenwriters Mark Schwahn, Marc Hyman and Jon Zack can't decide whether they want Perfect Score to be funny or serious, with the result that it falls short of being either." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Perfect Stranger (2007) |
"Perfect Stranger is so intent on fooling us with a last-minute 'gotcha' revelation that it ignores just about everything else that matters." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Persepolis (2007) |
"It’s riveting." |
Robert W. Butler |

The Piano Teacher (2002) |
"Will leave audiences cold and not a little depressed." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pineapple Express (2008) |
"This blood-spattered stoner comedy -- the latest from Team Apatow -- is wildly uneven and at times trying. But even a DEA agent would find plenty to laugh at." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2/4 |
Pink Panther (2006) |
"Peter Sellers was Inspector Clouseau. Steve Martin is merely playing Clouseau. Big difference." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Pink Panther 2 (2009) |
"The film’s director, Harald Zwart, has little grasp of timing, which is crucial in slapstick. The result is frantic activity with few payoffs." |
Jason Heck |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pirate Radio (2009) |
"The soundtrack overflows with great rock, and individual scenes and performances click." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"Unfortunately, once in front of the camera Depp isn’t given anything interesting or funny to do. So this fine actor is left to drag out the same shtick that once seemed refreshing -- three films and an Oscar nomination ago." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) |
"Despite its glossy look and masterful special effects, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is a bad movie. Fans deserve better." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat |
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |
"The film is never quite funny enough to make us forget that dramatically it's pretty slim stuff." |

Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea (2007) |
"[Provides] a funny, poignant tribute to a most unusual place and the people who somehow call it home." |
Loey Lockerby |

Planet of the Apes (2001) |
"A nonstop pleasure for the eye." |
Brian McTavish |
Tomato |
The Pledge (2001) |
"Packed with great performers who, no matter how briefly they may appear on camera, are given a scene or deliver a line of dialogue or even a mere look that is absolutely devastating." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 4/5 |
Pocahontas (1995) |
"Though released during the Disney slump that came post-Lion King, Pocahontas was the last truly quality Disney animated film until Tarzan came along a few years later. It doesn't touch the aforementioned Lion, but a worthy part of your collection." |

Poseidon (2006) |
"It may sound strange to describe a movie in which just about everybody dies horribly as 'fun,' but that’s what Poseidon is." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Possession (2002) |
"Taken as a quirky sort of detective story, Possession is generally satisfying." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2/4 |
Post Grad (2009) |
"Bledel can carry a film, and her level-headed charm works wonders. At least until Fremon and Jenson turn her into another dithering flick chick whose decisions are dictated by the men in her life." |
Loey Lockerby |
Tomato |
The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002) |
"A movie version that's as good as anything both kinds of fans [kids and adults] could have hoped for." |
