It's depressing to see a deluxe cast wasted on such by-the-numbers material.

Thank heavens for the practical presence and humour of Bates, and the quiet conservatism of Allen's performance as a pious woman scared of too much freedom.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2008

A film full of emotional false notes, bad dialogue and cardboard characters...

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 29, 2008

For a film about discovering your own journey, it sure sticks to the main roads.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 29, 2008

Bonneville is scarcely original and in no way earthshaking, but its notable cast is a pleasure to behold.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 30, 2008

When you've got three of the nation's best actresses in leading roles, it doesn't matter if your script is only adequate and the audience really has to squint here and there to believe what's happening on the screen.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2008

There are zero surprises in the road comedy Bonneville, sadly including the fact that three middle-age actresses with three Oscars and nine nominations among them couldn't find anything more challenging to do.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 29, 2008

There's no avoiding the fact that Christopher Rowley's feature debut is as uninspired and predictable as your average Lifetime movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 29, 2008

Yes, the film deals with women of an age who are usually ignored in film, and it further deals with questions of mortality and loss, which are equally overlooked. The problem is, it doesn't deal with them very well.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 29, 2008

Except for Jessica Lange's silent, expressive close-ups, the women's journey in Bonneville is aesthetically and dramatically unremarkable.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 29, 2008

The kind of comfy, reassuring take on human relations that makes cynics want to growl at the stranger sitting next to them.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 28, 2008

It took brass hubcaps to make Bonneville, a midlife-chick-road-trip movie starring a '66 Pontiac convertible and a trio of middle-aged driving girlfriends in cool sunglasses, and not once have the gals give props to Thelma & Louise.

| Original Score: C | Feb 28, 2008

In Bonneville, a talented cast is wasted, falling victim to a tired, cliche-ridden story.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 28, 2008

At the very least, Bonneville deserves to be seen as a challenge and a rebuke to our supposedly youth-obsessed age.

Full Review | Feb 27, 2008

Open the big cinema floodgates and Bonneville is just a trickle of Poland Spring, but the trio of ladies are always watchable.

| Feb 27, 2008

This rarity in cinema -- a graying cast in a female-bonding adventure -- couldn't be more dull-humored or predictably maudlin without just calling itself The Bucket List 2.
