P.S. (2004) |
"Goes disappointingly soft despite two dynamite lead performances." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 1/4 |
P.S. I Love You (2007) |
"This is a movie that will leave you stunned and stupefied from beginning to end, if you don't head for the exits first." |
David Wiegand |
Splat 1/4 |
P.S. Your Cat is Dead! (2002) |
"It's another world now, which is why Kirkwood's play, adapted to the screen by actor Steve Guttenberg, feels so moldy and out of date." |
Edward Guthmann |
Splat 2/4 |
P2 (2007) |
"There's some ghoulish humor in P2, and a couple of scares, but it's little more than the umpteenth variation of the woman-locked-in-a-house plot." |
Walter V. Addiego |

The Pacifier (2005) |
"A formulaic Disney comedy." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Page Turner (2007) |
"In retrospect it's clear that when the filmmakers had a chance to hammer something they tapped it, instead." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Pagemaster (1994) |
"Plays too much like a TV cartoon." |
Peter Stack |
Splat 2/4 |
Paid in Full (2002) |
"Needed a little less bling-bling and a lot more romance." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Painted Veil (2006) |
"The Painted Veil does what a romantic drama needs to do. It testifies to love as the great educator." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Palindromes (2005) |
"Palindromes" isn't a wise movie, or a particularly true movie, but it's an honest one and a singular experience." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"Although Pan's Labyrinth relies heavily on special effects, including the computer-generated kind, you're never aware of them. Del Toro, who wrote the story, has created a special universe. The spell it casts lingers long after the final reel." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 2/4 |
Pandora's Box (1928) |
"One of those revered classics, so steeped in critical hysteria that it's almost heresy to question its greatness." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Panic (2000) |
"The movie equivalent of a great read at the beach." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Panic Room (2002) |
"It might sometimes forget to make sense, but no matter, since it creates enough tension that the audience can hardly think anyway." |

Paparazzi (2004) |
"A vigilante movie so sleazy and creepy it makes Death Wish look like a comedy." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Paper Clips (2004) |
"What makes Paper Clips so powerful and moving is the way everyone in the film seems affected by the Whitwell project. The students change. The teachers change. The townspeople change." |
Jonathan Curiel |
Tomato 3/4 |
Paper Dolls (2006) |
"Although the 'weird' factor is very much in play here, director Tomer Heymann does a fine job of peeking behind the curtain and discovering real humanity at work." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Splat 2/4 |
Paper Heart (2009) |
"Paper Heart is a cute movie, a little too cute and a little too aware of its own cuteness." |

Paradise Now (2005) |
"The film captures the bleakness of the West Bank and, more powerfully, shows us lives so grim that the thought of paradise now seems enticing." |

Paragraph 175 (2000) |
"An exquisite and powerful documentary -- one whose elegance only heightens its devastating impact." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Paranoid Park (2008) |
"For some of the way, it seems like a kind of skateboard whodunit. Soon enough, we understand it's much more than that. And by then, we know we're in for a ride to remember." |
David Wiegand |
Tomato 3/4 |
Paranormal Activity (2009) |
"A few people in the audience were laughing during the first half of the film. No one was laughing during the long walk out of the theater." |

Paris (2009) |
"Klapisch captures the bittersweet quality of those human contacts that seem to hold promise, but life goes by too fast for them to take root." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
Paris 36 (2008) |
"Somehow its value is never communicated to the audience in a felt way. Or maybe that's simply the crucial aspect of Paris 36 that didn't make it safely across the Atlantic." |

Paris, Je T'aime (2007) |
"The result is that after two hours one gets the sense of having seen a panorama of human experience, of having witnessed a moment of time in all its true fullness." |
Mick LaSalle |

Party Girl (1995) |
"If Party Girl weren't so contrived, and if Posey didn't exude such cold hauteur, all of that might have worked." |
Edward Guthmann |

Party Monster (2003) |

The Passenger (1975) |
"Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger is more than the re-release of a great film -- it's a rare chance to see a major cinematic work, perhaps more than once, on the big screen." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Passion & Power: The Technology of Orgasm (2008) |
"Passion & Power may lay it on too thick with its You Go, Girl! message, but in the end it does bring to life a remarkably amusing and strange secret history." |

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"Instead of letting his reverence broaden him, Gibson uses his action-movie expertise to reduce the Crucifixion to something kinetic, literal and merely tragic." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Passionada (2003) |
"Ireland enables Passionada to transcend formula by keeping the emotions strong and grounding them in a bright, specific world." |

The Patriot (2000) |
"Emmerich's battle scenes may look authentic to anyone who has ever stared hard at a history book, but in every other way the film is long, empty and bogus." |
Mick LaSalle |

Patti Smith - Dream of Life (2008) |
"If you don't already own "Horses," this movie will make you want to go out and buy it. You'll also want to start surfing the Internet to fill in the blanks that Dream of Life fails to include." |

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) |
