Pumpkin the movie, any good?

[Katey Alpha Gam]

Hey everyone,
A friend of mine was telling me about a new movie that is out now on DVD called Pumpkin. Christina Ricci (I love her!) is a sorority girl who some how ends up working w/challenged athletes and she falls for this guy named Pumpkin. Thats all she told me about it but she said it was really good and funny. I asked her about the sorority stuff in it, but she didn't really know how to answer a lot of it b/c she is a GDI. So I was wondering if anyone else saw it and if it portrayed sororities well and there were any real life or loosely based glo's in it?

It's an interesting movie and definitely worth a watch, but I'd say that they make all sorority girls but Christina Ricci come off as shallow ditzes.

Just don't watch it if you're easily offended. It is meant mainly to be a satire, so they're not too worried about portraying Greek life accurately.

blech, I thought it was horrible. Not the portrayal really, but the movie itself.

[Sistermadly]

Bad. Bad, bad, BAD.

I thought that this was one of the funniest movies I've seen all year!

Exactly! It was a hilarious movie. My rommate couldnt understand what I found so funny either, he thought I was laughing at Pumpkin.

Don't watch this movie. Really.


I watched this movie with two of my non-Greek friends, and we were all just like WTF. I knew going into it that it wasn't going to be a light and funny comedy, but still... this movie is just not good. It's not even entertaining.

Although every now and then I still sing "Stars of track and field, they are.... beautiful people" in my head. What an awful song in an awful movie! haha

I thought it was a very strange movie, and I thought it was fairly entertaining, but I have a very sarcastic sense of humor. I don't think this is a movie that you're supposed to come away from saying, Öhmigod, I LOVE this movie! It's the best movie I've ever seen!" If it were, I don't think Christina Ricci would have done it. I think it is a movie that fully intends to poke fun at a part of our culture. I hated the ending though - it's like they wanted to try and end it on a "everyone lived happily ever after" note, and it's not that kind of movie.

I personally liked the movie. it's a little on the strange side but it's a good movie to see if you like movies like that. If you're easily offended, don't see the movie. It doesn't really portray greeks that well but it's still a funny movie.

I was disturbed by this movie when I watched it... not only because of the *WAAAYYY* shallow depection of sorority girls... but I don't know although it does bring up an interesting issue about the disabled sexuality, I thought to do it under the guise of dark comedy was just disturbing

I finally saw this movie last night.... bizarre.

Though I laughed my *** off at the very first scene when they're all like "Suzy - YES! Anne Chung - Yes! Carolyn - Yes!"

[White_Chocolate]

i saw it
i didn't like it
i just felt like she was using that poor boy as rebound
and it just sucks the way that it ended


the only funny part was when they were talking about the girls
and they pointed out the black girl would fufil the diversity requirement
some sororities are like that though
give them one asian, black, and hispanic and they think they are so diverse


get a grip

Ugh, I hated it.

FYI- her sorority house is the ADPi house at USC. Across the street, the tri Kappas or whoever they were, that's the AXO house.
