Pumpkin

Silly, sweet, farcical and subversive, "Pumpkin" pushes the boundaries of teen melodrama to an absurd pitch, resulting in a film that is bracing, hilariously funny, and quite often, "and in unexpected ways, touching" (A.O. Scott, The New York Times). Sexy Carolyn McDuffy (Christina Ricci) has the perfect life - a good family, a top sorority and a hot boyfriend - until she meets the "not-so-perfect" Pumpkin (Hank Harris), a "challenged" discus thrower who touches her soul and turns her life upside down. Suddenly smitten, Carolyn finds herself embroiled in a culture clash that will make you laugh "with humour, with recognition and with disbelief" (Roger Ebert) as you follow her hysterical journey from popular insider...to ostracized outcast!
