We realize early on that nothing much is going to happen ... and it's hard to stay fully engaged with a film that, frontal nudity notwithstanding, plays it so safe.

It has a personable character in Felix.

Although the movie never so much as flirts with melodrama, there is still a bittersweet undercurrent throughout Adventures of Felix.

Bouajila's winning performance, and the film's timely tolerance, make Felix a movie road trip you'll want to take.

The greatest accomplishment of writer-directors Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau is that they can sustain subtle expressions of love, both physical and emotional... while also allowing these same characters to deal with the shortcomings of humanity.

There is a sort of sun-washed gay complacency to Adventures of Felix, a streak of greeting card glibness.

I like to see gay characters in films, but filmmakers can't specifically rely on their gayness to make them interesting.

A delightful film.

A film whose surface charm never gets in the way of its profound seriousness about living life to the fullest.
