Se abordar os esforços humanitários ao redor do planeta é admirável, colocá-los em segundo plano para priorizar uma história de amor é mais do que frustrante; é imperdoável.

Beyond Borders trivializes the pain and suffering of actual people by reducing them to a backdrop for Hollywood twaddle.

Affecting moments appear sporadically in Beyond Borders, but they can’t amend for the movie’s lack of shame.

While most movies insist on having 'plots,' this one boldly proceeds without one, flying in the face of convention.

It wavers like a child wanting to dive in to the deep end of a pool.

It is a rather callous, travelogue look at misery around the world.

Beyond Borders is one of those rare big-budget films that has something of vital importance to say about the real world, and pulls no punches saying it.

This pop nugget of McHistory, for all of its aspirations to sermonize, never elevates beyond a simplistic morality tale of, well, black and white.

It would all be perfectly ridiculous if it werenÕt so gosh-darn moving, in that Hollywood way that makes you hate yourself for crying, hand me another Kleenex, dammit.
