The acting is uniformly good and it's an absolutely gorgeous film to watch.

Reviews for Bon Voyage
It's just plain exhausting to watch the admirably game cast members running around like headless chickens in chic period clothes, surrendering their dignity to the task of navigating the plot's frenetic contrivances.
03/18/04
A breezy time out with upscale audiences.

Bon Voyage, a rich, teeming French farce set in and around Bordeaux in 1940 on the eve of the German occupation of Paris, is a triumph of narrative ingenuity.
03/18/04
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
A little too much pointless running around coupled with the underdevelopment of several key characters results in a movie that's never more than mildly diverting.
03/16/04
Relies on its considerable star power to conceal its even more considerable lack of substance.
03/16/04
Posh, stylish, and with very little going on in its head, Bon Voyage is neither as dizzying nor as entertaining as it could be.
03/11/04
A rich cinematic blending of politics, war, love and farce.
03/03/04
The talk is too superficial to provide a hint of the characters' make-up.
02/27/04
It attempts to whip up the exacerbated furibund of Costa-Govras’ Z to no avail; one’s senses are already on overload.
02/21/04
A high-wire act of storytelling, tone and old-fashioned chutzpah.
01/30/04
Bon Voyage is cute but it’s no Underground.
01/20/04
The German occupation of France in June 1940 wasn't really so bad, if one is to believe the farcical goings-on.
01/18/04
An ambitious, indeed audacious, film, as clever a piece of filmmaking as we'll likely get this year.
01/17/04
As a war film, it's more Top Secret! than The Pianist.
10/01/03
Within twenty minutes, Bon Voyage has dipped a toe in the waters of five or six distinct genres--never to cohere, alas
09/07/03
A beautifully crafted film with a star-studded cast, directed with a lightness of touch.
