"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."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

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

2.5/4
"Bon Voyage is cute but it’s no Underground."  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."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten
