Tomato 3/4 |
P.S. (2004) |
"Start the Oscar buzz now for the dependably superb Laura Linney, who brings beauty and a tough core of intelligence and wit to the role of New Yorker Louise Harrington, an admissions officer at Columbia's graduate school of fine arts." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 1/4 |
The Pacifier (2005) |
"There is no pleasure, guilty or otherwise, to be found in The Pacifier." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Painted Veil (2006) |
"The Painted Veil has the power and intimacy of a timeless love story. By all means, let it sweep you away." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Palindromes (2005) |
"Solondz likes to put the screws to moral hypocrisy. As always, he goes too far. As always, you don't want to look away." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 4/4 |
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"Pan's Labyrinth, horrific and heartfelt in the way it sees the trauma of war through the eyes of a little girl, is some kind of great movie." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 4/5 |
Panic (2000) |
"A black-comedy gem." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 4/5 |
Panic Room (2002) |
"Foster nails the role, giving a tight, focused performance illuminated by shards of feeling." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato |
The Paper (1994) |
"It's all slick, fizzy fun. But the film's fighting spirit gets snatched." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Paper Heart (2009) |
"Enjoying this wondrous wisp of a something is easy, describing it is hard. Luckily, Charlyne Yi is an enchantress." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Paprika (2007) |
"Fiercely provocative, Paprika shames Hollywood’s use of animation as a kiddie pacifier." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Paranoid Park (2008) |
"The result, a defiant slap at slick Hollywood formula, is mesmerizing." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Paranormal Activity (2009) |
"With a $15,000 budget too puny to empty a petty-cash drawer, the no-frills Paranormal Activity comes packed with thrills." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato |
Parenthood (1989) |
"It's a shock, and a welcome one, to see Steve Martin cast against type as a doting dad. Martin's nippy wit continually lifts this movie above the swamp of sentiment." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato |
Party Girl (1995) |
"What makes it delicious fun is Posey, a party girl for the ages." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 1/4 |
Party Monster (2003) |
"This film feels fake, forced and indigestible." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Passenger (1975) |
"Antonioni's 1975 landmark." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Passing Strange (2010) |
"The invigorating result, zestily edited by Lee's own inside iron man, Barry Brown, is in every way a knockout." |

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"The Passion of the Christ is powerfully moving and fanatically obtuse in equal doses." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato |
The Patriot (2000) |
"Deserves a salute as the first Hollywood epic about the American Revolution to successfully blend ferocity and feeling." |
Peter Travers |
Splat |
Patriot Games (1992) |
"The movie kills most of the fun by watering down Clancy." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 0.5/5 |
Pay It Forward (2000) |
"Not since Gump has there been such a pandering, faux-virtuous package of populist pap for Hollywood to shove in the faces of electioneering politicos and say: Look, we don't just market unwholesome swill to families, we market wholesome swill, too." |
Peter Travers |
Splat |
Payback (1999) |
"In the popcorn sense, it certainly delivers on mindless escapism. In the artistic sense, let's just say that Payback is a long way from Point Blank." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 1/4 |
Paycheck (2003) |
"Limp retread of Minority Report." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 2/5 |
Pearl Harbor (2001) |
"From its opening calendar-art sunrise to the There You'll Be love theme that Faith Hill sings over the final credits, Pearl Harbor is deep-down phony." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Penelope (2008) |
"Director Mark Palansky wishes he was Tim Burton. So will you, because even with producer Reese Witherspoon showing up in a cameo, Penelope is dead on arrival." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 2/5 |
A Perfect Murder (1998) |
"What the film lacks is suspense, surprise (the new ending is a dud) and passion." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 2/5 |
The Perfect Storm (2000) |
"A sense of reality is essential, and it's sorely lacking." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 1/4 |
Perfect Stranger (2007) |
"That's right, it's a techno thriller that treats the already clichéd topic of Web abuse with an idiotic sense of discovery." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato |
A Perfect World (1993) |
"In going beyond chase-yarn duty, Eastwood and Costner do themselves proud." |

Persons of Interest (2004) |
"The callous inequity of what you see and hear will floor you. It can't happen here. But it did. It does." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 2/4 |
Peter Pan (2003) |
"There's nothing to crow about." |
Peter Travers |
Splat |
The Phantom (1996) |
"Expect this ghost of bad movies past to walk quickly to the back bins of Blockbuster, where it should be filed under a helpful heading, monotonous and juvenile." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Phoebe In Wonderland (2009) |
"Let Clarkson and Fanning take you to the rabbit hole of seductive enchantment that defines this movie." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Phone Booth (2003) |
"Farrell is a dynamo. And Kiefer Sutherland, whose sniper role is essentially a voice on the phone, matches Farrell subtle shift for subtle shift." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Pianist (2002) |
"A portrait of hell so shattering it's impossible to shake." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Piano Teacher (2002) |
"Watching Haneke's film is, aptly enough, a challenge and a punishment. But watching Huppert, a great actress tearing into a landmark role, is riveting." |

Pieces of April (2003) |
"A playful comedy laced with heartbreak." |

Pineapple Express (2008) |
"Rogen, Franco and McBride are on the march into stoner legend." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Piñero (2001) |
"An annoyingly hyper biopic." |
Peter Travers |
Splat |
Pink Cadillac (1989) |
"An overlong, undercooked action comedy made out of retooled parts from other film vehicles." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 1/4 |
The Pink Panther 2 (2009) |
"Wasn't it bad enough the first time?" |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pirate Radio (2009) |
"The boat nearly sinks from character overload, and Curtis brakes when you most want him to gun it. But there’s no denying the comic energy of the cast." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 2/4 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"Producer Jerry Bruckheimer does deserve a shoutout: It takes a kind of genius to sucker audiences into repeatedly buying the same party tricks." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) |
"It's the triumphant rogue in Depp that keeps this pirate ship afloat and actually makes the third voyage (coming next summer) a trip worth booking." |
