Plot Summary
Perky, perfect Carolyn (Christina Ricci) and her Alpha Omega Pi sisters plan to win Sorority of the Year by impressing the Greek Council with a killer charity: coaching mentally challenged athletes for the regional Challenged Games. When Carolyn's assigned to coach Pumpkin (Hank Harris) she's terrified at first, but soon sees in him something she's never seen before: a gentle humanity and honest clarity that touches her soul. To the horror of her friends and Pumpkin's overprotective mother (Brenda Blethyn), Carolyn falls in love, becoming an outcast in the process. As Carolyn's "perfect life" falls apart, Pumpkin teaches her that perfect isn't always perfect after all.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Pumpkin sits in a patch somewhere between mirthless Todd Solondzian satire and callow student film.
Fresh: For all its many flaws, Pumpkin has some worthwhile ideas and funny moments, and its whacked-out heart is in the right place.
Rotten: If you believe any of this, I can make you a real deal on leftover Enron stock that will double in value a week from Friday.
Rotten: Remember: These are two hours of your life you'll never get back.
Customer Reviews
GREAT movie
Pumpkin is pretty much a dark comedy. One of my favorite movies because it's different. It's funny and a little dramatic too. I would definitely recommend it!!!!
Love
This is a great movie. It's funny, sad. Pretty much a Satire. Plus the music is great. Love this movie. So underrated.
Cut the movie for time?!?!?
Um..... Watching the scene where she forgets Pumpkin on the beach.... And they cut it out?!?!? Also cut Kent's tennis match?!?!? Um this is a fantastic movie but not worth $9.99 if they cut huge chunks of the movie!!!! I feel cheated!
