News & Interviews for The Accidental Tourist
Critic Reviews for The Accidental Tourist
All Critics (30) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (24) | Rotten (6) | DVD (6)
The strength of the film is that of the novel: an intoxicating brew of irresistable characters.
The emotional complexities unearthed are distinctly adult.
The film tries so hard to be funny, but ends up feeling like a rejected Woody ALlen script idea.
A mature, well-made film for teens and adults.
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.
A genuinely beautiful and human story out of the Hollywood mills. Subtly amazing work from all concerned.
Audience Reviews for The Accidental Tourist
William Hurt sure made some really great movies back in the 80s and 90s. I cant say that I have watched anything lately that he has starred in. This movie was very good. I had a hard time getting past Geena Davis and her horrible 80s fashion, but I guess that I cant blame the movie itself...just the era. This movie had a very nice ending, which is always a plus for me.
Super Reviewer
The Accidental Tourist starring Geena Davis, William Hurt and Kathleen Turner is a very good film based on the best selling novel. William Hurt and Kathleen Turner play a couple who's child passes away which places a lot of strain on the marriage. The couple divorces and in comes an off the wall lady into his ife (Geena Davis). She re introduces a new passon in his life...Geena Davis won the Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress and rightfully so.

The thing I really love about Kasdan's scripts is that he tells us what happened without TELLING us what happened. A little slow past the first half but still neatly wrapped with great underscored humor. I love Welsh Corgis!
