P.S. I Love You (2007) |
" What do you get when you stick a talented, interesting cast in an uninspiring chick flick? Short answer: P.S. I Love You." |

The Pacifier (2005) |
"Pacifiers are made to appease toddlers, but for the movie version, even that may be a stretch." |

The Painted Veil (2006) |
"All this comes from a novel by Somerset Maugham, although the movie leaves out most of the complexities of the book to focus on the single-minded venom of the marriage." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Palindromes (2005) |
"It's a more challenging trek, but well worth it for some." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"In coming up with one of the finest modern fantasies to date, del Toro seamlessly blends two stories, one set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and the other in a parallel realm of fairies and fauns." |

Paper Clips (2004) |
"It's hard to find fault with the motives of the teachers and the kids. Their determination and results are admirable." |

Paprika (2007) |
"You could sit through the film two or three times to nail down the details of the story, but the film isn't interesting enough to warrant a second look." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4/5 |
Paradise Now (2005) |
"A risk-taking but enlightening film that takes the novel approach of examining the Israeli-Arab impasse from the perspective of the Palestinians." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Paris, Je T'aime (2007) |
"The best segments are as good as film gets; the losers can make you wince. On the whole, the good outweigh the bad and make the film feel like a minivacation in the City of Light." |

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"The basic message of Christianity -- love your brother -- is obscured under torrents of blood to the point of benumbing the audience." |

Paycheck (2003) |
"The blanks, and there are many, are filled with dunderheaded plotting and logic usually reserved only for James Bond movies." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2/5 |
Peaceful Warrior (2006) |
"Peaceful Warrior is meant to empower and enlighten. But it tries so hard, it's more like inspiration overkill: 121 torturous minutes of long-winded lectures about living in the moment." |
Kathy Cano Murillo |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Penelope (2008) |
"There is an underlying sweetness to Penelope, a root-for-her vibe that's only slightly diluted by the predictable story." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Perfect Crime (2005) |
"It plays like one of those minor European oddball comedies of the 1970s ... neither realistic nor particularly clever but making up for that with a certain charm." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
A Perfect Getaway (2009) |
"Fast and twisty, A Perfect Getaway is an economical little thriller that pretty much accomplishes everything it sets out to do." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Perfect Man (2005) |
"If you tweaked the movie's giggly tone a little bit, you'd probably have a decent thriller about a maladjusted teen out to emotionally destroy her dim-bulb mother." |

The Perfect Score (2004) |
"Just rent the darned Breakfast Club instead of slogging through this sludge." |

Perfect Stranger (2007) |
"All the hip technology, including e-mail hacking, tiny portable USB devices and fake IM accounts, is supposed to make us feel disoriented by the modern lack of face-to-face communication, but it feels played out and overexplained." |
Annemarie Moody |
Splat 3/5 |
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) |
"The climax of the film -- quite literally -- is so silly and preposterous that we're likely to leave the theater either laughing at it or grumbling about how such a good idea for a movie could have been so diluted: not perfume, but cheap cologne." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4/5 |
Persepolis (2007) |
"Persepolis may be a crudely drawn, two-dimensional cartoon, but it packs more genuine emotion than plenty of live-action dramas." |

Peter Pan (2003) |
"It ends up being the grown-up version of a children's story, and may have trouble finding an audience." |

Phat Girlz (2006) |
"It's a chick flick with good intentions about self-image and body size, yet it leaves an icky aftertaste." |

Pineapple Express (2008) |
"Sure, you'll laugh. It's funny. But your memories soon will be fuzzy, a little out of whack, and the next thing you'll know you'll have eaten an entire bag of Doritos. Or at least wish you had." |

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"At World's End includes a whole lot of chitchat, as the characters strain to explain this overplotted extravaganza. Sure, the pirates need reasons to swing swords at each other, but do they really need this many?" |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |

Pooh's Heffalump Movie (2005) |
"Pooh's Heffalump Movie is much like a children's cardboard storybook and is set to the cozy soundtrack of Carly Simon. It's as sweet as hunny and breezy to follow, and before you know it, it's over and everyone is smiling." |
