    Had potential....but the filmakers seemed very confused as how to balance true emotion w/satire...damn.

    The film doesn't seem to know how it feels, much less how others are supposed to feel about it.

    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.

    Off sorority row, the movie goes flat for increasingly long stretches, with the filmmakers displaying so little understanding of or genuine feeling for the mentally challenged that they never advance past stutter-and-stumble humor.
