Last evening I had the unfortunate pleasure of viewing a movie entilted, "Pumpkin". Starring in this movie is Christina Ricci, who plays Caroline.
Let me give you a brief overview of this film, it will make me feel better..lol
Caroline has the perfect life, rich family, perfect jock boyfriend, perfect sorority, and sorority sisters. Her sorority is dead set on winning "Sorority of the year" so among one of the charitable activities, they decide to help train "challenged" kids in track and field type events. Through this Caroline meets Pumpkin. A challenged boy in a wheel chair who has difficulty walking, and doesn't talk much. Her first meeting results in her getting freaked about by the "retard" because he tries to say her name, and doesn't like the way he looks at her. So this whole section of the movie is exploiting "challenged" people to be terribly frightening, weird people. So Caroline can't get this kid out of her head for the shear fact that he is "mysterious". Basically Caroline starts to spend a lot of personal time with Pumpkin, because she feels that he is the only one that understands her, and thinks that she is intelligent. Pumpkin becomes head over heels for Caroline and decides that he wants to walk for her and become as normal as possible, he works out, and walks a lot more then he ever used to, and begins speaking his mind. Her friendship with pumpkin turns her whole life around and she starts to realize her life won't always be easy and perfect. Her sorority sisters start to hate her, they don't talk to her, things go sour w/ her boyfriend, and they break up. Caroline goes to pumpkins house in the middle of the night and HAS SEX WITH HIM. Mom finds them, is screaming whore, slut, at her while she is running out of the house...Caroline is begged back to the sorority because the sisters just want her ex bf to be there so they can get sorority of the year, cuz her ex is like worshiped on the campus. She goes with him, still knowing she loves pumpkin..Pumpkin and two of his "challenged" friends show up to the dance, and jealous ex bf. wants to kick his ass...this is the sour note of the film, they go out front, "West Side Story" music starts playing, and their dancing around eachother like their in the middle of the fricken west side story..pumpkin wins, boyfriend drives off upset, looses control of the car , goes of a cliff, and as soon as the car goes off the cliff, it explodes..CAN'T HAPPEN..so you're like okay, he dies whatever..NO ..next extremely unrealistic scene: jealous ex bf is sitting in a fucking hospital bed..with no burns..
next time you see a guy that just drove off a cliff in a car engulfed in flames and survives with no burns..let me know i'd sure like to see it...
so the irony sets in when jealous ex bf. looses the power to walk , and is in a wheelchair, thus becoming the "challenged" boy himself. Caroline runs away to another college, but comes back for the "Challenged Games" that pumpkin is in, he kicks ass, with the help of none other than the jealous ex b.f. in a wheelchair, Caroline comes to watch, they run off happily ever after
OMG i wanted to kick the damn tv after i watched this
Its really something you have to see to witness a movie nightmare..the whole film was over played...
well thats it..haha you can tell i'm bored at school
ker ker
