[A] sweet little crowd-pleaser.

Bleibtreu's almost too-innocent shy guy works, and his wider familiarity will help sell the adventure, but it's his co-star who gives us the emotional mileage of the drive.

If you need to get away and all you have is nine bucks and two hours, you know where to go.
05/21/02
The freshest road movie to come along in quite some time.
05/16/02
Sometimes forced, but nearly as charming as it tries to be, which is very.
01/10/02
The journey's the thing, and nearly every kilometer of it holds adventure, charm and laughter.
12/19/03
While it's true that this 2000 romantic comedy is basically a Teutonic riff on the 1985 John Cusack comedy The Sure Thing, In July still has just enough twists and turns and is just light enough on its feet to stand on its own.

If you're the sort who used to enjoy romantic comedies before they became doddering and formulaic chick flicks, take some steps and search this one out.
04/04/03
Even if it doesn't completely win you over, In July should at least raise a few smiles.

Explodes with hope and good will, paying tribute to Georges Méliès and the persistence of cinematic magic along the way.
12/24/03
[Akin] allows his madcap chases and travel montages to go on too long.

Top CriticWho would have thought a German comedy could be light, charming and devoid of intellectual snobbery?
04/05/02
We've been to this place many times before, folks: An overly fastidious, brainy male gets led through a series of zany adventures by a free-spirited female, and the moral of the story is to not live life so cautiously.
02/12/04
The romance is always too close to knockabout farce to allow any variations in the formula.
12/19/01
Top CriticNever less than breezily entertaining.
12/07/01
Top CriticMore endearing than irritating.
12/07/01
Top CriticVery funny and charming.
12/07/01
Top CriticHas considerable charm, wit and style, and does the unexpected often enough to keep you consistently amused.
