VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

ginnytheapplelady I can't say why this hasn't become a cult classic, as it's such a rich and wonderful satirical story with silliness and heart and real humanity.Christina Ricci shines brightly in this film, true to her character from beginning to end. Even as a woman, I had to appreciate the obvious display of her naturally full chest as a second character, from the slow-mo running sequence to the particularly cold room of her distracted singing. Melissa McCarthy is brilliant in this, showing her natural talent as an actress, and the fabulous Amy Adams! I think she has 2 lines in this, yet you do remember her. Well crafted and so, so funny! A quirky oddball of a comedy, but boy do I wish they made more films like it today.

killerkandykorn The movie can't seem to decide whether it is a Comedy, a Romance, or one of those Life Altering Deep Drama type movies. It would be fine if it was all those things together at the same time, but throughout the movie it seems to change between. There are a few parts that will really make you laugh that is true, but the story mainly focuses on the romantic relationship between Caroline and Pumpkin. The romance in this movie is... well there is none. Caroline falls in love with Pumpkin through a montage. Then spends the next couple of scenes trying to admit to herself that she loves him, then the rest of the movie is this undertone of how Mentally Handicap people are people too.In the End I find the movie did not make any kind of impact on me negative or positiveBottom line: If you want to watch it, watch it, but you're not missing anything.

rokcomx I stumbled across this tonight, never having heard of it and without looking up its premise - I've never said "What the f#ck?!" out loud so many times in my life (tho the two hours I spent suffering thru No Country For Old Men comes close).The movie plays like an acid flashback, becoming increasingly surreal as the dialogue goes from weird to bugfuggen insane. BUT, once I realized just how hard my leg was being pulled - and became resigned to having my limb then pulled off and used to beat my brains in - I grew to appreciate the satire, wit, and utterly inappropriate insanity. Somewhere between Heathers, Jawbreaker, the Forbidden Zone, and Richard O'Brien's Shock Treatment, that's where you'll find Pumpkin.Along with a lot of DVD and TV browsers muttering "What the f#ck?!?!"

Wintagelo This movie is fantastic, although you probably have to have a certain comic sensibility to appreciate it. The best parts of this movie are so subtle that you might miss them the first time around. The director certainly doesn't hold your hand.The soundtrack in particular was amazing. The montage set against Belle & Sebastian's "Stars of Track and Field" is one of the better uses of song in a movie I've encountered.I rarely come across comedies that demonstrate any originality. It's mostly formulaic junk. Pumpkin is a beautiful, hilarious, and has a great deal of thematic and character depth.
