Rotten
The recut American version is truly awful, but a good 75 percent of the awfulness is attributable to Miramax, the film's distributor.

What can one say about a balding 50-year-old actor playing an innocent boy carved from a log?
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
What remains is a variant of the nincompoop Benigni persona, here a more annoying, though less angry version of the irresponsible Sandlerian manchild, undercut by the voice of the star of Road Trip.
Mark Peranson, Village Voice

I can't say this enough: This movie is about an adult male dressed in pink jammies.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Rotten
Instead of hiding Pinocchio from critics, Miramax should have hidden it from everyone.
