P.S. (2004)

"Despite an excellent supporting cast something in p.s. goes mushy and implausible."

P2 (2007)

"The same old grim game of cat and mouse. Sure, we hope the mouse gets away. But mostly we just want the whole thing to end."

The Page Turner (2007)

"A classical music thriller."

The Painted Veil (2006)

"The acting is quite splendid, especially in the vicinity of the quite splendid Watts."

The Palm Beach Story (1942)

"Sturges' dialogue, as always, is not only sharp, but cutting, delivered with typical flair by the charter members of Sturges' company of actors."

Pandora's Box (1928)

"If you've never seen Brooks -- or Pandora's Box -- you've missed one of the most extraordinary personalities and films of the silent movie era."

Paper Clips (2004)

"Symbolism is hard to swallow, and it's near impossible to relate to these paper clips as souls, especially when they are talked about in terms of collecting and counting and displaying."

Paradise Now (2005)

"Paradise catches and keeps your attention because of its daring subject, real-life backdrops and the intensity of its actors."

The Parent Trap (1998)

Paris, Je T'aime (2007)

"You couldn't call it perfect -- the episodes are uneven -- but it has something that sometimes is better than perfection: real love for its subject and themes."

The Passenger (1975)

"It's a movie from the past that still points ahead to the future: a cinematic rite of passage that raptly recalls a time when the world may have been as uncertain as now, but the movies were often lovelier and more daring."

Passionada (2003)

"It's extremely likable and well done."

Pathfinder (2007)

"Though you can't say Pathfinder doesn't deliver the goods, action-wise, the movie often has trouble sticking to its story between battles or involving us with its characters and its self-consciously mythic hero."

The Patriot (2000)

"The Patriot is a huge, bloody, 2-hour-and-40-minute battle epic, lavishly appointed and beautifully shot."

Pauline and Paulette (2002)

"A moving tale of love and destruction in unexpected places, unexamined lives."

Payback (1999)

"A mind-mangling disappointment, with a dopey sell-out ending."

Peaceful Warrior (2006)

"Peaceful Warrior, which is basically The Karate Kid with a bigger kid and a bigger mentor, represents a journey of predictability, rather than a destination worth the trouble."

Penelope (2008)

"Compared to Juno MacGuff, Penelope Wilhern is practically mute, but they're half-sisters under the skin."

The Perfect Crime (2005)

"So much of El Crimen Perfecto sustains such a dazzlingly vital pitch it makes the typical American studio attempt at far-out black comedy look pretty far-in, and pretty pale."

The Perfect Holiday (2007)

"Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard act as commentators, nudging the contrivances this way and that."

The Perfect Score (2004)

"Succeeds because at its core it is about the very different pressures very different young adults face, and the test that insists on judging them as one and the same."

Perfect Stranger (2007)

"Fairly diverting until it starts becoming ridiculous."

Persepolis (2007)

"In spite of all the idealistic baggage, the film feels like it's traveling light. The fluid handmade visuals hang onto the uniqueness of Satrapi's heavy-lined work while giving them a smoothness and a visual depth they previously lacked."

Peter Pan (2003)

"Works as mind-tickling entertainment that never stoops to the vulgarities or frenetic pacing of most family films."

Phone Booth (2003)

"A lean, mean tension machine, setting up its premise, executing it with smarts, throwing in enough twists to keep things interesting, and wrapping it up before anyone can get fatigued or reflective."
