The Pacifier (2005) |
"A by-the-books Disney family film. If this is what you are looking for, Diesel delivers an easy, goodwill charm. The preview audience embraced it." |

Tomato |
The Painted Veil (2006) |
"Provocative and highly emotional. Watts and Norton are sensational.
" |

Tomato |
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"A dazzling masterpiece. Cannot be seen just once.

Tomato |
Panic Room (2002) |
"In Fincher's hands, this rather obtuse premise (how can the audience relate?) not only actually works, it's frightening, interesting, and thrilling." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Paparazzi (2004) |
"Sneaked into theaters without advance screenings, I liked it.

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |

The Patriot (2000) |

Pay It Forward (2000) |
"Right now, Hunt's performance is the strongest of the year. I don't know how anyone else can top it." |

Splat |
Paycheck (2003) |
"Acting is hard to do. Watch Affleck try it and barely make a go of it.

Splat |
Pearl Harbor (2001) |
"Pearl Harbor has a bland love story, no conflict, a well-known outcome, and no star chemistry." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Penelope (2008) |
"Puts to rest the adage "Only a face a mother could love" because beauty trumps everything." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
The Perfect Storm (2000) |
"This entire second half -- with catastrophe upon catastrophe hurled at us -- redeems the movie's messy human- interest opening." |

Tomato |
Perfect Stranger (2007) |
"Starring Victoria’s Secret and Reebok as well as Halle Berry in her first mainstream hit in years.

"A taut, engrossing thriller." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Pineapple Express (2008) |
"Spider-Man couldn't do it, but PE will make a movie star out of James Franco. The stoned Laurel and Hardy of our time are set for a huge franchise." |

Tomato |
Piñero (2001) |
"God is jealous of Benjamin Bratt, but He's coming around…Bratt's performance [here] is electrifying and charismatic." |

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"PC1’s Jack Sparrow has left the franchise. A stiff pod has replaced him. No story I could follow, but that was my fault. I don’t understand Aramaic." |
Victoria Alexander |
Splat |
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) |
"Slapstick pirates. What happened to gay Jack Sparrow? Depp sells out his most famous character.
" |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |
"Awesome! And Johnny Depp’s swashbuckling gay pirate mesmerizes!" |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Planet of the Apes (2001) |

Play it to the Bone (1999) |
"The movie seems strained, tired, and forced." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Play the Game (2009) |
"Smart screenplay, good directing. Except for Griffith, casting is wrong." |
Victoria Alexander |

Pollock (2000) |
"Harris does a brilliant job playing the tortured, uncommunicative painter." |

Poseidon (2006) |

Possession (2002) |
"If you’ve read Ernest Hemingway’s neighbor’s memoir—about the day he helped Papa clean out his boat—this is the love story for you." |

Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire (2009) |
"I abandoned the book early on. It was unreadable and written in ebonics. With every page my IQ dropped 10 points. The film, however, is astonishing and simply brilliant." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
The Prestige (2006) |
"The “reveal” was a surprise and quite deliciously executed.
" |
Victoria Alexander |
Splat |
The Princess Diaries (2001) |
"The Princess Diaries can be quickly summed up as a series of bland vignettes about a 15 year-old girl's makeover as if directed by an 80 year old man." |
Victoria Alexander |
Splat |
Proof of Life (2000) |
"The trouble with Proof of Life is that this high stakes crisis -- in real life -- probably causes more personal stress and conflict than we saw." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Public Enemies (2009) |
"Mann delivers as does Depp and Bale. Billy Crudup's J. Edgar Hoover mesmerizes. As usual, Mann shortchanges female roles. Marion Cotillard is a dull temptress." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Punch-Drunk Love (2002) |
"Sandler, in trusting his director, gives a performance that declares the star a genuinely fine actor." |

Tomato |
The Punisher (2004) |
