Pumpkin Summary Pumpkin Scores Bonus Points For Risk-taking Satire, But It?s The Right Movie Made By The Wrong People. Despite An Able Assist From Star And Coproducer Christina Ricci, First-time Codirectors (and Usc Film-school Graduates) Anthony Abrams And Adam Larson Broder Lack The Delicate Touch Required To Pull Off A Comedic Romance Between An Idealistic Sorority Girl (ricci) And The Semi-retarded, Physically Challenged Boy Nicknamed Pumpkin (hank Harris) Whom She?s Paired With As Part Of Her Sorority?s Image-boosting Charity Campaign. The Movie Boldly Addresses The Taboos And Condescension Typically Applied Toward The Disabled In Movies And Hits Its Satirical Targets (social Elitism, Campus Hypocrisy) While Undermining The "jerry?s Kids" Stereotype Of So-called "special" People. It?s A Valiant Effort, But The Strengths Of Pumpkin Are Overwhelmed By Its Ineptitude, With Poor Character Development, Choppy Plotting, And Rampant Inconsistencies. Its Many Flaws Aside, Pumpkin Deserves Credit For Trying Something New, Difficult, And Altogether Challenging. --jeff Shannon
