Critics consensus

“Roberto Benigni misfires wildly with this adaptation of Pinocchio, and the result is an unfunny, poorly-made, creepy vanity project.”

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?

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.

Joyless, idiotic, annoying, heavy-handed, visually atrocious, and often downright creepy.
