P.S. I Love You (2007) |
"You get the strong impression that no one involved wanted to risk being labeled "depressing," so they inserted a lot of lame comic moments into a film that doesn't need them." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2/4 |
The Pacifier (2005) |
"The Pacifier is what you would politely call “product.” It is manufactured according to a specific formula – one that is familiar, comforting, and non-threatening." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Painted Veil (2006) |
"The Painted Veil has a real pulse. It sweeps you up in the characters' journey from the beginning, and keeps you riveted from moment to moment." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"Pan's Labyrinth is bold and original, a mini-masterpiece of fantasy filmmaking that deserves to be seen by a wide audience." |

Panic Room (2002) |
"Panic Room is like the Energizer bunny of suspense; it just keeps going and going and going." |

Splat 1/4 |
Paparazzi (2004) |
"When a movie is so dishonest – so ignorant – about its own subject matter, it’s impossible for the audience to care about anything that happens." |

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"It is a film worth seeing and talking about, for better or worse. It gets some things very right, but the violence threatens to overshadow the message." |

Pearl Harbor (2001) |
"On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. On May 25, 2001, Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay did it again." |

The Perfect Score (2004) |
"With a little more anti-authoritarian spirit, The Perfect Score might have been a rousing call to arms for a whole generation." |

Perfect Stranger (2007) |
"Perfect Stranger makes a fatal mistake that too many modern-day thrillers make: it so desperately wants to fool you with its plot twists that it ends up playing unfairly." |

Pieces of April (2003) |
"[The masterstroke is] keeping the family apart for most of the movie and using character analysis as a way of suggesting the dysfunction." |

Piglet's Big Movie (2003) |
"Piglet’s Big Movie, like The Tigger Movie before it, has an innocence and a sweetness to it that is welcome. It put a smile on the face of this big kid." |

Pineapple Express (2008) |

Pink Panther (2006) |
"If you can divorce yourself from total allegiance to the original %u2013 or if you have no allegiance to the original - then this is an enjoyable movie with some real laughs courtesy of a modern day comic genius." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
The Pink Panther 2 (2009) |
"While The Pink Panther 2 certainly has moments of hilarity, they are fewer and farther between this time." |

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"It is debatable whether a movie can be "blockbustered" to death, but I advance this one as Exhibit A. Almost every frame of it feels manufactured to fit a preconceived - and inaccurate - notion of what a bigger, "better" sequel should be." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2/4 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) |
"I'll admit that the film is intermittently amusing, but it also reeks of the dreaded "bigger, louder, more" syndrome that has undone many a sequel." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |
"It’s not so much the minor flaws as it is the fact that Pirates of the Caribbean just wasn’t enough fun for me." |

Possession (2002) |

Premonition (2007) |
"Premonition is a shoo-in for my list of the year's worst films, assuming that I can even remember what it is nine months from now." |

The Prestige (2006) |
"The Prestige quite brilliantly replicates the experience of a great magic trick. You know what you have just seen isn't possible, and while you recognize some of the trickery, you can't spell it all out. You walk away completely amazed." |
