Pinocchio

What to Know

Roberto Benigni misfires wildly with this adaptation of Pinocchio, and the result is an unfunny, poorly-made, creepy vanity project.

What can one say about a balding 50-year-old actor playing an innocent boy carved from a log? Go to Full Review
Mark Peranson Village Voice Jan 3, 2003
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. Go to Full Review

Joyless, idiotic, annoying, heavy-handed, visually atrocious, and often downright creepy. Go to Full Review

Draco S Dec 13, 2018 If Rotten Tomatoes didn't force me to put in a rating less than 1/2, I would give it a 0. Not just that, a -1 no less.
