4.0 out of 5 stars Dark, Droll and Dry Satire, 16 July 2007
By Kasey Driscoll - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Carolyn McDuffy (Christina Ricci) is a girl who assists her sorority by helping a bunch of mentally challenged adults for the "Challenged Games". Carolyn's training partner is Pumpkin Romanoff. The sheltered and superficial Carolyn is not used to situations like this and she often violates social norms and offends people without even realizing why certain actions and comments would be offensive. Unlike her sorority sisters, Carolyn has a good heart but she is still ignorant enough that she doesn't automatically earn any respect from the film's audience. She is a unique character that conveniently slips under our radar as such. At first apprehensive about dealing with Pumpkin, Carolyn soon comes to the realization that Pumpkin is at least genuine, which is completely unlike anyone else in her world, especially the girls in her sorority. Carolyn falls deeply in love with Pumpkin. This has a dramatic effect on the lives of both Carolyn and Pumpkin and that is essentially what this film focuses on.

Christina Ricci is almost always great in anything she has ever done. She takes on unique roles for the most part and only surfaces up to the mainstream in flashes these days. Pumpkin is not a mainstream film as it was hardly even released in the United States. Unfortunately it is roles like this that can showcase just how talented Ricci really is. Making characters we are not supposed to like enjoyable and entertaining is when she is at her best. Hank Harris plays Pumpkin and does a great job at a kind of role that is easy to compliment in most films, but he somehow manages to make Pumpkin fit appropriately even in this unusual environment. Brenda Blethyn plays Pumpkin's mother and is outstanding as always.

Pumpkin's overtones are primarily pretty serious ones in the way of a Romeo and Juliet kind of story. So why is this comedy? Why should we be laughing? Answering that honestly may extort some guilt but don't worry, you're not alone. That does not however make Pumpkin any less bold in its basic storyline and it is probably even bolder in its very existence as a comedy. Few films are as dry and demented as this. I couldn't help but think of Todd Solondz's Storytelling and Happiness while I watched Pumpkin. It seemed to contain the same provoking elements and bizarre dark humor. I never thought that was possible again after seeing Happiness but here it is. Perhaps Solondz is an influence. Much like Carolyn McDuffy's character, the movie Pumpkin's ignorance may anger you
