Handsomely staged, ingeniously plotted and played with evident enjoyment, this is mainstream arthouse at its most entertaining.

It's a rollicking adventure yarn with a stellar cast and an engaging Hitchcockian flavour.

Top CriticIt's nice to look at, with an attractive cast and lush production design, but it sacrifices some character depth and charm for a sprawling scope and swift pace.

Top CriticThe generally light tone of Bon Voyage is the result of intense concentration on the part of Mr. Rappeneau and his collaborators.
03/18/04
Despite its serious premise, film offers enough light-hearted entertainment and quirky performances to endear fans of French cinema.

If you've got a hankering for a bullet-flinging, romantic, film noir roller coaster, Bon Voyage is the ticket.
05/22/04
A rich cinematic blending of politics, war, love and farce.
03/03/04
It's a marvel of silly improbability, serious historical criticism and romantic intrigue.

Are you ready for a World War II, romantic, murder-in-Act-One, escape-from-the-Nazis, French farce?
07/03/05
A film with a lot of energy -- more energy than substance, in fact. An average trip for hardcore foreign film aficionados.
05/31/04
It's persuasively performed by a potent ensemble and artfully directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau.
04/22/04
The movie is great fun. It offers the plush sense of relaxation that only smooth professionalism can deliver.

Isabelle Adjani owns this movie... her every mannerism screams diva. It's a juicy role and she plays it for all it's worth.
04/23/04
This is a they-don't- make-'em- like-that- anymore movie, one that only wants to give us a couple of hours of uncomplicated fun.
04/29/04
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.

Bon Voyage is cute but it’s no Underground.
