"Even Pinocchio himself would pan this flick."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

1.5/4
"The film's stagecrafts are intimate and therefore bolder than the otherwise calculated artifice that defines and overwhelms the film's production design."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

D+
"Seriously, rent the Disney version."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

1.5/4
"This overproduced piece of dreck is shockingly bad and absolutely unnecessary. Hmmm…might I suggest that the wayward wooden one end it all by stuffing himself into an electric pencil sharpener?"  TheWorldJournal.com  Frank Ochieng

"Benigni's folly...In every sense of the word, the picture is just frightful; it will either terrify children or bore them to tears, and adults will be rightly appalled by it."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

0/10
"Best described as slipshod, annoying and quite simply, shockingly bad."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

3/10
"Better this log-headed Pinocchio had been burned at the stake."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"Absolutely (and unintentionally) terrifying."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/5
"Adults will certainly want to spend their time in the theater thinking up grocery lists and ways to tell their kids how not to act like Pinocchio. As for children, they won't enjoy the movie at all."  Filmcritic.com  Pete Croatto

"Every good actor needs to do his or her own Hamlet. For Benigni it wasn't Shakespeare whom he wanted to define his career with but Pinocchio. It might as well have been Problem Child IV."  Movie Views  Ryan Cracknell

1/10
"It's a frightful vanity film that, no doubt, pays off what debt Miramax felt they owed to Benigni."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger
