The Pacifier (2005)

Panic Room (2002)
"A classy, intelligent thriller for grownups."
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
"Controversy aside, The Passion is ultimately a movie -- and a masterful one at that, obviously the work of an extremely talented filmmaker."

Paul Tatara
Pay It Forward (2000)
"Has to be the most oppressive 'feel good' picture in movie history."
Payback (1999)
"This film is riddled with cliches and impossible situations."
Pearl Harbor (2001)
"Pearl Harbor is hit and miss."
"A lot of people will rightfully be crowing about the technically astonishing battle scenes that take up over an hour of screen time. But getting there is a cliche-ridden, often laughable chore."
Pecker (1998)
Perfect Stranger (2007)
"This one's DOA."
Tom Charity
Permanent Midnight (1998)
Persepolis (2007)
Phone Booth (2003)
"A taut, compelling thriller that slowly sneaks up on you and nails you to your seat."
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
"The entire franchise seems on the verge of collapse, propelled to construct ever more grandiose flights of fancy. Without those sequences, there would be nothing there -- but a movie cannot exist on rollick alone."
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
"One of the few must-see films of this summer."
Planet of the Apes (2001)
"It's a shame, because visually the film is astounding. Burton's bold style and unique point of view are front and center. Yet Apes is a classic example of 'all dressed up with nowhere to go.'"
Playing By Heart (1998)
Pleasantville (1998)
"This wonderful film speaks volumes about prejudice, the freedom of ideas, and the joys of diversity."
The Pledge (2001)
"It has all the right credentials, so why is it such a muddled mess?"
Possession (2002)
"A romantic melodrama teeming with lust, love, guilt, and raw passion, all wrapped in the splendid visuals provided by cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier."
Practical Magic (1998)
Prime (2005)
"Refreshingly bright, unpredictable and intelligent while still offering moments of giddy humor that take you totally by surprise."
The Producers (2005)
"This isn't a movie. It's a Broadway musical captured on film."
Proof of Life (2000)
"Well directed, superbly acted, full of conflicting emotions and has subtle psychological shifts in loyalties."
