"
Bon Voyage
has much to commend it - but by the time it is over, you will be more likely to bid it a relieved 'adieu' than a dewy-eyed 'au revoir'."
Movie Gazette
Anton Bitel
"A rich cinematic blending of politics, war, love and farce."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
1.5/4
"Within twenty minutes,
Bon Voyage
has dipped a toe in the waters of five or six distinct genres--never to cohere, alas"
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
C+
"Although visually appealing, the movie is too cavalier and shallow for its more weighty subject matter."

"Never quite worked even as a fluff film meant only for escapist entertainment."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews

2.5/4
"
Bon Voyage
is cute but it’s no

Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B
"Maintains its vaguely gutsy conceit -- it's a Holocaust laugh-fest! -- without actually offending anyone."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
B+
"Half parody and half homage, this comic throwback to Hollywood's lavish wartime romances of the forties and fifties is almost entirely enjoyable."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1/5
"It is as if each character is playing an instrument the way he or she wants, and the end result is nothing more than a cacophony of discordant sounds."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
B-
"Posh, stylish, and with very little going on in its head,
Bon Voyage
is neither as dizzying nor as entertaining as it could be."
Mixed Reviews
Gabriel Shanks
2.5/4
"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."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
4/5
"Playing out farce under the shadow of fascism, this French thriller-romance-comedy-drama is an unusual film -- and an unusual pleasure."
Netflix
James Rocchi
B
"Just what the doctor ordered for older moviegoers longing for a return to the golden age of film."
FilmStew.com
Larry Carroll
2.5/5
"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."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
"[S]pot-on in its bygone charm, its sharp wit, its snappy bumbling..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3.5/5
"The bustling structure keeps us gripped, even though there's too much going on."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
B
"This is one nutty, but enjoyable movie."
