Pumpkin

Imagine the sassiness of “Election” combined with the un-PC approach of “The Ringer” and you have “Pumpkin.” What a great, funny, little romantic film about the perfect sorority girl falling in love with a disabled boy. Christina Ricci stars and is also listed as a producer. Her character surprised me by being nowhere near as sympathetic as I expected her to be. She does not want to like this kid and resists all the way. She makes an honest transition from a bitch to an accepting person despite all the negative folks around her who see goodness only in perfection. Good soundtrack.
Favorite moment: Pumpkin being taken to a picnic on the beach in his wheelchair.
