Reviews for Around the World in 80 Days
Director Frank Coraci plays fast and loose with Jules Verne's classic tome Around The World In 80 Days, but his adaptation never runs out of gas.

Top Critic...a pleasing mix of martial arts and madcap comedy, with a string of big-name cameos thrown in for good measure.
06/21/04
Jackie Chan's colorful fight during a visit to an art gallery in Paris is one of his best.
06/18/04
Modest kid fare guaranteed not to make you think.
06/18/04
The world already knows about Jackie Chan. But thanks to this irreverent remake, British actor Steve Googan appears set to become an international movie star.
06/16/04
Despite the rush to get everyone from place to place, director Frank Coraci luxuriates in colorful visual detail and gives the locals their due.
06/17/04
Compared to the torture of sitting through Garfield, this... is a family movie that is the perfect summer distraction.
06/16/04
The colors, costumes, and sets showed that Disney hasn’t lost all of its magic yet.
06/15/04
Properly silly and slapsticky.
06/16/04
The first American Jackie Chan movie that doesn’t make fun of him, that lets him be the cool guy.
06/15/04
If [Verne] saw the movie with youngsters, he'd appreciate how much they enjoyed it.
06/15/04
Trippy, goofy, and nearly senseless concoction [is] one of the more entertaining cases of 'What-in-the-heck?' out there.
06/15/04
Passes the parental test in that it has wit, is cinemagraphically loaded with scenic eye candy and moves along at an energetic enough pace to keep seat-squirming to a minumum.
06/16/04
Wonderful family escapist entertainment.
06/16/04
All my critical faculties tell me I shouldn't recommend it. But when I think of how often it I grinned (once a minute) and how often I checked my watch (never), I give up.
06/22/04
Once it settles down, 80 Days becomes a pretty enjoyable comic-action romp that's ultimately twice as much fun as a lot of technically better movies I could name.
06/24/04
Around the World in 80 Days is like eating a candy bar--loaded with empty calories but also light and fluffy with a sweet Jackie Chan in the center.
06/17/04
[a] sweeping adventure tale just left of center, a family entertainment with sprinklings of offbeat humor
