P.S. I Love You (2007) |
"P.S. I Love You is as treacly as the title would suggest." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
The Painted Veil (2006) |
"A pet project of Watts and Norton for years, the two actors clearly have great affinity for the story and capture authentic chemistry of young marrieds at odds, who develop respect -- if not necessarily love -- for each other." |
David Germain |
Tomato |
Paper Heart (2009) |
"Paper Heart is way more innovative than the formulaic romantic comedie s that all too often trek through the multiplex, and a much-needed refreshing change." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
Paris, Je T'aime (2007) |
"With 18 pieces in all, there should be something here to tantalize everyone's tastes, or at least prompt you to contact your travel agent to book a vacation." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
Passing Strange (2010) |
"Like Lee, the artist formerly known as Mark Stewart possesses a powerful and singular voice, one he uses to express vividly his own unique experience of growing up as a black man in America." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
The Patriot (2000) |
"Having fought the British centuries before in Braveheart, Gibson brings the same intensity to The Patriot." |

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) |
"[James] plays yet another misfit, but one who's so two-dimensional, needy (and frankly annoying) that it's difficult to root for him." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
Pay It Forward (2000) |
"Worthwhile for the performances." |
David Germain |
Tomato |
Peaceful Warrior (2006) |
"The sometimes dreamy pace of Peaceful Warrior is offset by good rapport among Nolte, co-star Scott Mechlowicz and an engaging ensemble cast." |
David Germain |
Tomato |
Penelope (2008) |
"No offense intended, but a pig snout is very becoming on Christina Ricci." |
David Germain |
Splat |
A Perfect Getaway (2009) |
"After toying with us, Twohy’s reliance on standard shootings and stabbings is really rather boring." |
Christy Lemire |
Splat |
Perfect Stranger (2007) |
"Perfect Stranger is one of those movies in which nothing and no one turns out the way they originally seemed. And, maddeningly, that's true of the movie itself, as well." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) |
"Even though Perfume is primarily about how things (and more importantly, people) smell, it manages to be a feast for all the senses." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
Persepolis (2007) |
"Persepolis is a true original in the eclectic world of animation, one that's full of fascinating contradictions." |

The Phantom (1996) |
"The Phantom 2 Is on the Way" |

Splat |
Phoebe In Wonderland (2009) |
"Writer-director Daniel Barnz manages to achieve a true and delicate balance for much of Phoebe in Wonderland, his first feature, but ultimately undermines himself with heavy-handed and rather hackneyed whimsy." |
Christy Lemire |
Splat |
Pineapple Express (2008) |
"Green naturally has a sure hand when it comes to the dialogue and the smaller moments -- it's his big, violent set pieces that lack any discernible pizazz." |
Christy Lemire |
Splat |
The Pink Panther 2 (2009) |
"There are chuckles, maybe even a belly laugh or two if you're in a charitable mood. But the movie's mostly a waste of time and talent." |
David Germain |
Splat |
Pirate Radio (2009) |
"There's more Partridge Family hugginess than sedition and subversion behind this rock 'n' roll story." |
David Germain |
Splat |
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) |
"Even more cartoonish than the original film from 2003 -- a difficult feat to achieve -- this second installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, often feels like a live-action version of a Road Runner-Wile E. Coyote extravaganza." |
Christy Lemire |
Splat |
Play it to the Bone (1999) |
"Play It to the Bone consists largely of a seemingly endless drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas." |
Bob Thomas |
Tomato |
Pokémon the Movie 2000 (2000) |
"Surprisingly entertaining." |
Ted Anthony |
Tomato |
Pokémon the Movie 3 (2001) |
"The colorful, lush backgrounds and some striking, imaginative animation offer ample reward for sitting next to your young ones." |
Malcolm Ritter |
Splat |
Ponyo (2009) |
"A children's film that's at once overly simplistic and needlessly nonsensical." |
Christy Lemire |
Splat |
Poseidon (2006) |
"'There’s got to be a morning after,' went the Oscar-winning song from the original. In Poseidon, daylight can’t come soon enough." |

Post Grad (2009) |
"It has no idea what it wants to be; as a result, it gets nothing right." |
Christy Lemire |
Splat |
Postal (2008) |
"How does Uwe Boll keep getting work? Seriously, this is not a rhetorical question -- someone, somewhere surely must know the answer." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
A Prairie Home Companion (2006) |
"It's a suitable companion piece to past Altman forays into the arts such as Nashville and The Player, though lightweight by comparison." |
David Germain |
Tomato |
Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire (2009) |
"Lee Daniels, in just his second film as director, crafts a story that rises from the depths of despair to a place of genuine hope." |
David Germain |
Splat |
Premonition (2007) |
"Someone connected with the psychological thriller Premonition should have been clairvoyant enough to realize that when you don't have a good finale, it doesn't pay to substitute two bad endings." |
David Germain |
Splat |
The Prestige (2006) |
"By film's end, the notion of a rational and satisfying climax has hopelessly disappeared in a silly spiral of one-upmanship and a barrage of half-baked revelations that won't make you marvel so much as shrug and forget about them." |
David Germain |
Tomato |
Pride (2007) |
"[The film] has enough buoyancy to remain afloat, though without the vigor of Terrence Howard and the charm of Bernie Mac, it likely would sink in its own sea of clichés." |
David Germain |
Splat |
Pride and Glory (2008) |
"Everything about the dirty cop thriller Pride and Glory is formulaic and forgettable, even down to its generic title." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
The Princess and the Frog (2009) |
"Ron Clements and John Musker deliver a satisfying gumbo of snappy dialogue, lovable characters and bright-hued images, spiced up with just the right touch of voodoo peril." |
David Germain |
Tomato |
The Princess Diaries (2001) |
"The movie is one to savor for its good humor and big heart, despite some hackneyed fairy-tale notions." |
David Germain |
Tomato |
Proof of Life (2000) |
"Proof...verifies that quality filmmaking triumphs over tabloid gossip." |
Larry Worth |
Splat |
The Proposal (2009) |
"All the romantic comedy conventions are shamelessly on parade in The Proposal, trampling on our brains and turning them into mush." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
The Proposition (2006) |
"The Proposition is no bloodier than many a schlocky horror flick, but the violence feels real and ruthless, carrying a much more visceral impact." |
David Germain |

The Protector (2006) |
"This is one of those movies where guys literally stand in line, waiting to get beaten up." |
Christy Lemire |
Tomato |
Public Enemies (2009) |
"The director shoots Depp in close-ups that accentuate the actor's handsome features -- those warm, brown eyes, sharp cheekbones and soft lips -- and verge on idolatry." |
Christy Lemire |
Splat |
Pulse (2006) |
"It's intended as an indictment of our overdependence on communications devices, but the premise is out-of-this-world unbelievable." |
Christy Lemire |
Splat |
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) |
"At its core The Pursuit of Happyness is a good story -- one that's literally rags to riches, and didn't need the many tweaks and embellishments that Italian director Gabriele Muccino and writer Steven Conrad have added." |
