Although visually appealing, the movie is too cavalier and shallow for its more weighty subject matter.

Are you ready for a World War II, romantic, murder-in-Act-One, escape-from-the-Nazis, French farce?

This is one nutty, but enjoyable movie.

Bon Voyage has much to commend it - but by the time it is over, you will be more likely to bid it a relieved 'adieu' than a dewy-eyed 'au revoir'.
01/15/05
A nonstop, peripatetic, neo Hitchcockian farce...captures the chaos of a government in ruin.

...grand, intelligent, confident and adult -- which is just another way of saying that it is very French, in all the best ways.
08/25/04
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.

Top CriticIf blockbusters leave you cold, then this is one trip well worth taking.

Adjani has suddenly hit her stride; you can hope - and I do - that a great career is being born at last in this arresting actress.

This is no heavy drama about the Nazi occupation of France, but a witty story about a group of people making do under those circumstances.

A film with a lot of energy -- more energy than substance, in fact. An average trip for hardcore foreign film aficionados.
05/31/04
Never quite worked even as a fluff film meant only for escapist entertainment.

Bon Voyage has been sumptuously mounted, with spectacular cinematography and a lush (perhaps overly so) musical score by Gabriel Yared ... that's a throwback to '30s moviemaking.
05/28/04
A cinematic trifle that quickly wears out its welcome.
05/28/04
The dense plotting and a comic insensitivity just this side of Hogan's Heroes leave Bon Voyage an enervating experience.
05/28/04
This Hitchcock like French film taking place during World War II buildup is excellent.
