"The only reason for watching such a shallow and worn drama is because of Crudup's subtle performance."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2/4
"The film's needlessly opaque intro takes its doe-eyed Crudup out of pre-9/11 New York and onto a cross-country road trip of the Homeric kind."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez

"A pretty but empty portrait of a vacuous character...the picture doesn't get very far or go very deep."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"A first-class road movie that proves you can run away from home, but your ego and all your problems go with you."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
1.5/4
"It believes it's revealing some great human truths, when, in reality, it's churning ground that has long passed the point of being fertile."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3/5
"Well-shot drama features great work from Billy Crudup and Julianne Moore -- and an infuriating script from director Bart Freundlich."
Netflix
James Rocchi
D+
"But buying into sham truths and routine "indie" filmmaking, Freundlich has made just another safe movie. It's not horrible, just horribly mediocre."
Matinee Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
3/4
"Whatever complaints I might have, I'd take [its] earnest errors and hard-won rewards over the bombastic self-glorification of other feel-good fiascos like Antwone Fisher or The Emperor's Club any time."

"Somewhere inside the mess that is World Traveler, there is a mediocre movie trying to get out."

Larry Carroll
2/5
"Cal is an unpleasantly shallow and immature character with whom to spend 110 claustrophobic minutes."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
"God bless Crudup and his aversion to taking the easy Hollywood road and cashing in on his movie-star gorgeousness."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
1.5/4
"A poky and pseudo-serious exercise in sham actor workshops and an affected malaise."
