Tomato A-
Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
"Triumphs both as allegory and riveting adventure tale."
Donald Munro
Tomato B
Panic Room (2002)
"By toying with that idea of 'perfect' safety -- because there's no such thing, of course -- Fincher provocatively punches our buttons."
Splat C+
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
"If this were any other film and any other subject, The Passion would have been slapped with an NC-17 rating faster than you can say "Council of Nicaea.""
Tomato
The Patriot (2000)
"The Patriot pays handsome tribute to the sacrifices of men who deserve to be remembered."
Splat
Pearl Harbor (2001)
"A missed opportunity."
Splat C-
The Perfect Man (2005)
"Duff comes across as so self-absorbed that her trademark perkiness bleeds into selfishness."
The Perfect Storm (2000)
"The Perfect Storm is a wild ride, if you have the stomach for it."
Splat D
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
"A tedious, overwrought and bloated outing that up until the 100-minute mark makes you wish the movie theater had life boats."
Splat C
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
"If I have to watch one more pirate shriek in horror at a giant yet imaginary tentacle waving in his face, I'll drive a fork into my wooden leg."
Planet of the Apes (2001)
"Overall, Burton delivers a competently staged affair that somehow seems safe and conventional."
The Pledge (2001)
"Penn gets bogged down in his own grand vision."
Pokémon the Movie 2000 (2000)
"Cheap and disposable."
The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002)
"You start to realize that the filmmakers simply didn't have enough material to deliver a feature-length film and have tried to pad things out as best they can."
Prey for Rock & Roll (2003)
"Alternatively sharp-witted and bracingly sad, the film fixes firmly on Gershon's floppy, unruly bangs and never lets go."
Pride & Prejudice (2003)
"Feels like 10% Austen and 90% unpublished varsity show at Brigham Young University."
Tomato B+
Pride and Glory (2008)
"A well-crafted and sharply plotted version of the genre."
Pride and Prejudice (2005)
"A wonderfully satisfying film that captures much of the wit and crisp emotional longing of the book."
Splat D+
The Prince & Me (2004)
"There isn't a scrap that doesn't manage to come across with the predictable thud of a newspaper hitting the porch each morning."
The Princess Diaries (2001)
"Has Disney wholesomeness stamped all over it."
Splat D-
Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)
"This tepid sequel is a compelling argument for royal family planning."
The Producers (2005)
"You're a lot better off going into The Producers as a musical-theater buff than as a film buff."
Proof of Life (2000)
"A muddled story."
Rick Bentley
The Proposal (2009)
"When White and Bullock are on screen together, they click in a way that makes this predictable film shine."
