Storia
Carolyn, a beauty pageant queen and sorority girl, finds her world turned upside down when she's tasked with coaching Pumpkin, a disabled athlete, as part of her sorority's quest to win 'Sorority of the Year'. Despite their differences and initial friction, Carolyn and Pumpkin form an unlikely bond as they work together towards his goal of competing in the Special Olympics.
Riassunto
'Pumpkin' (2002) is a heartwarming romantic comedy that blends humor with meaningful themes of acceptance, friendship, and self-discovery. The story revolves around Carolyn, a seemingly shallow sorority girl who learns valuable lessons about life and love while coaching Pumpkin, an intellectually disabled athlete. Though the movie's plot is driven by Carolyn's transformation from a self-absorbed beauty queen to a caring mentor, it's Pumpkin's resilience and spirit that truly steal the show.
