Reviews for The Accidental Tourist
This is a warm movie told in the temperature of almost-recognizable life; it's a believable love story, joked up a bit but not too much.
04/20/04
Kasdan's film lacks the spirit of Tyler's novel; he seems to be the wrong director to translate the author's affectionate and humorous treatment of the characters. Fortunately, Geena Davis as the eccentric dog-walker elevates the otherwise morose mood.
07/02/05
Hurt is the virtuoso, rising above the Lawrence Kasdan histrionics and some loose acting.

'O Turista Acidental' não é empolgante, não tem cenas marcantes e não nos apresenta personagens particularmente carismáticos. E, no entanto, é um filme muito bom.

Top CriticStiff and boring, with only Davis giving it a burst of life.
03/02/03
Hurt and Davis at their peaks in a touching, well-crafted drama
08/05/03
Beautifully-acted comedy-drama that doesn't overdose on its quirks.
08/14/03
Literate and engaging, loaded with great actors, and (surprisingly) also rather funny.
