Bon voyage movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: A high-wire act of storytelling, tone and old-fashioned chutzpah. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Rappeneau has effectively created a small, densely populated world; despite its flaws, you may find yourself reluctant to leave it. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A genre piece full of great actors and fabulous scenery, a rousing, full-blooded entertainment that uses serious themes and events mostly for pure pleasure. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A sophisticated farce about an unlikely subject. Read more
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic: Not only does the plot have the required twists and the action keep us at the edge of our seats, but the story is populated with interesting and believable characters. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: One of the great pleasures of Bon Voyage is its evocation of a precise time and place in history. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Bon Voyage lives up to its title and then some. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: It's persuasively performed by a potent ensemble and artfully directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Naturally, a Jean Gabin of a resourceful Everyman (Yvan Attal) interrupts his accidental acts of bravery to appreciate good wine; this is that kind of Gaul. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: On its own terms, Bon Voyage succeeds. Too bad the terms are so questionable; too bad that some successes, like some wars, aren't worth the effort. Read more
Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News: It melds lush period visuals, winning acting and the presence of some true screen legends into an engagingly watchable film. Read more
Ron Stringer, L.A. Weekly: The cast's sometimes capable, sometimes gross mugging is overwhelmed by lavish costumes, shiny vintage cars, hordes of meticulously directed extras. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: What's funny when the Nazis are coming to town? Not everything, but these guys assume otherwise. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: The acting is uniformly good and it's an absolutely gorgeous film to watch. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: Bon Voyage, a rich, teeming French farce set in and around Bordeaux in 1940 on the eve of the German occupation of Paris, is a triumph of narrative ingenuity. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: The generally light tone of Bon Voyage is the result of intense concentration on the part of Mr. Rappeneau and his collaborators. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: If you like to read subtitles or comprehend French and the beautiful people who speak it, Bon Voyage is a perfectly delightful time-killer at the movies. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A little too much pointless running around coupled with the underdevelopment of several key characters results in a movie that's never more than mildly diverting. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: This is a grand, confident entertainment, sure of the power of Adjani, Depardieu and the others, and sure of itself. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: The movie is great fun. It offers the plush sense of relaxation that only smooth professionalism can deliver. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: A bit of fluff expertly made and a hoot to watch. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: So equally light-headed and light-footed you expect it to shift into musical mode at any moment: Hello, Vichy! Read more
Lisa Nesselson, Variety: A rousing, well-crafted romp packed with ingenuity, duplicity, close calls and heroic gestures, Bon Voyage is true to its title. Read more
David Ng, Village Voice: Relies on its considerable star power to conceal its even more considerable lack of substance. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: Despite the film's undeniable virtues, I can't help wishing there were something more substantial there than an old-fashioned and admittedly engaging yarn. Read more
