Pinocchio Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The recut American version is truly awful, but a good 75 percent of the awfulness is attributable to Miramax, the film's distributor.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Head-slapping, what-the-f*ck-is-this-for-real? trippiness.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
What can one say about a balding 50-year-old actor playing an innocent boy carved from a log?
Village Voice
Mark Peranson
What remains is a variant of the nincompoop Benigni persona, here a more annoying, though less angry version of the irresponsible Sandlerian manchild, undercut by the voice of the star of Road Trip.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
I can't say this enough: This movie is about an adult male dressed in pink jammies.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Instead of hiding Pinocchio from critics, Miramax should have hidden it from everyone.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
An epic turkey, in a league with this year's Swept Away, that must be seen to be believed.
The Hollywood Reporter
Marilyn Moss
While Benigni (who stars and co-wrote) seems to be having a wonderful time, he might be alone in that.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
Audiences can be expected to suspend their disbelief only so far -- and that does not include the 5 o'clock shadow on the tall wooden kid as he skips off to school.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Would Benigni's Italian Pinocchio have been any easier to sit through than this hastily dubbed disaster?
L.A. Weekly
Daniel Fienberg
Visually sumptuous but intellectually stultifying.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
The idea of 49-year-old Roberto Benigni playing the wooden boy Pinocchio is scary enough. The reality of the new live-action Pinocchio he directed, cowrote and starred in borders on the grotesque.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
The movie unfolds in a clumsy zone between fantasy and realism, and in the end it's neither here nor there.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
As the wooden puppet who yearns to be human, Benigni ... is steadfastly insufferable, from his naughty, nave stage through a transformation to a state of virtue that is steeped in a self-congratulatory martyrdom and nobility.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
A movie so bad that it quickly enters the pantheon of wreckage that includes Battlefield Earth and Showgirls.
Observer
Rex Reed
Lethal for kids and an unspeakable insult to adults, this unreleasable fiasco is a torture for all.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The film's stagecrafts are intimate and therefore bolder than the otherwise calculated artifice that defines and overwhelms the film's production design.
Variety
David Rooney
A film substantially lacking in personality, energy, magic and humor.
