It's a simple, nostalgic watch with a predictable plot whose dramatic peaks are more rolling hills than mountains.

It may be only a gentle stroll of a movie, but its charm takes it where it wants to go...

A classy, heart-warming fable that points out cultural divisions with a wry smile while working to unite those who stand against pencil-pushers worldwide...

Reeks unmistakably of contractual obligation.

Like the film itself, [Hugh Grant] he’s too aware here of his own adorableness. The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill is pleasant, but in a small and overbearingly cute way. As offbeat charmers go, it qualifies as a molehill.

A well-bred, diverting idyll.

Well-crafted as it is, and hard to dislike, it's harder still to shake the suspicion that Monger is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Pleasant, but unexciting.

The Englishman gets by on sweetness, a refreshingly absurd premise and its own sense of adventure. The cast of expertly curmudgeonly performers is well suited to the material.

Overall it's the sort of pleasant, twinkle-in-the-eye folk tale that audiences young and old will find amusing, and even a little inspiring.
