Recommandations

Chicago Sun-Times
Is alive, and takes chances, and uses the wicked blade of satire in order to show up the complacent political correctness of other movies in its campus genre. - 75
New York Post
I laughed harder at Pumpkin than at any other film I've seen this year -- but be warned: This dark campus comedy is not for all tastes, or probably even most tastes. - 70
Washington Post
An odd and oddly endearing romantic black comedy. - 60
The New York Times
The filmmakers try to balance pointed, often incisive satire and unabashed sweetness, with results that are sometimes bracing, sometimes baffling and quite often, and in unexpected ways, touching. - 60
Film Threat
It rebounds in the last moments and I thought successfully blended satire, high camp and yet another sexual taboo into a really funny movie. - 58
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Combining the fairy-tale idealism of "Edward Scissorhands" with "Hairspray's" devilish sarcasm, the directors try for the sincerity of a message movie while affecting the hip facade of satirists. - 50
The A.V. Club
The film doesn't seem to know how it feels, much less how others are supposed to feel about it. - 50
Portland Oregonian
Jas some nice moments, a great soundtrack and some wonderful works by the dark-even-while-light Ricci.
