This genre of all-star comedy-adventure-romance has traditionally gone down well in France and Bon Voyage has a really opulent professionalism, a merry sweep.

No more than a shallow, style-mad entertainment, but it never flags or loses its balance, and, despite the theatricality of the staging and the acting, it's precisely the materiality of the cinema ... that makes us devour it with pleasure.

Full Review | Aug 1, 2004

Handsomely staged, ingeniously plotted and played with evident enjoyment, this is mainstream arthouse at its most entertaining.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 14, 2004

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | May 13, 2004

It's a rollicking adventure yarn with a stellar cast and an engaging Hitchcockian flavour.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 11, 2004

Charms with its insouciant attitude toward the impending calamity surrounding the characters, but its froth may wear thin for some viewers.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 9, 2004

A sophisticated farce about an unlikely subject.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | May 7, 2004

A strong diva-whore portrayal by Isabelle Adjani and fine sense of time and place give Voyage just enough grounding to make it worth the trip.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Apr 30, 2004

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.

| Apr 23, 2004

It's persuasively performed by a potent ensemble and artfully directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | Apr 22, 2004

It melds lush period visuals, winning acting and the presence of some true screen legends into an engagingly watchable film.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 22, 2004

So equally light-headed and light-footed you expect it to shift into musical mode at any moment: Hello, Vichy!

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 16, 2004

This is a grand, confident entertainment, sure of the power of Adjani, Depardieu and the others, and sure of itself.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 16, 2004

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 16, 2004

A rousing, well-crafted romp packed with ingenuity, duplicity, close calls and heroic gestures, Bon Voyage is true to its title.

Full Review | Apr 15, 2004

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.

What's funny when the Nazis are coming to town? Not everything, but these guys assume otherwise.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 9, 2004

One of the great pleasures of Bon Voyage is its evocation of a precise time and place in history.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2004

A bit of fluff expertly made and a hoot to watch.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2004

Rappeneau has effectively created a small, densely populated world; despite its flaws, you may find yourself reluctant to leave it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2004
