Reviews for Around the World in 80 Days
A journey worth taking.
06/16/04
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
This $110-million fiasco is the sort of movie that gives family entertainment a bad name.
06/16/04
One of the lamest remakes of a classic film I've ever seen.
06/16/04
Completely mediocre.
06/16/04
This new, family-friendly adaptation of Jules Verne's novel can hardly be called a travesty. But it can't be called a very good movie, either.
06/16/04
Solid family entertainment that alternates plenty of laughs with plenty of adventure.
06/16/04
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
The major problem with Around the World is that there's just not quite enough Chan, or at least the Chan we want to see, which is the acrobatic clown.
06/16/04
A total hack job.
06/16/04
Top CriticDespite all the audience-pleasing laughs and derring-do, it fails to take us anywhere we haven't been before.
06/16/04
The modern-day equivalent of The Cannonball Run.
06/16/04
Around the World in 80 Days is modestly diverting summer fare, but at about the halfway mark you're going to start wondering, 'Are we there yet?'
06/16/04
Is it any wonder [Chan] is aching for something different?
06/16/04
This comedy is billed as being 'based on the novel by Jules Verne,' but 'suggested by' or 'borrowing the title and character names of' would be more accurate.
06/16/04
It's light as a fly, but springs some genuinely funny moments.
06/16/04
Top CriticA peppy, fast-moving, wafer-thin amusement that's fine for kids if you don't mind a lot of Three Stooges-style martial arts. For grown-ups, it's the equivalent of a 59-cent tin globe.
06/16/04
As he hit the long home stretch, I couldn't help but wish that Fogg had managed to shave a week or two off his itinerary.
06/16/04
It's as though the crew is traveling through an oversize, even more irritating version of Disney's It's a Small World.
