      Variety

      Inoffensive adolescent escapism laced with surprising amounts of genuine charm.

      ReelViews

      Chasing Liberty is not daring or adventurous, but, considering its release date (early January), it's more palatable than one might anticipate.

      Philadelphia Inquirer

      Boasts exceedingly high levels of improbability and an embarrassment of continuity and character shortfalls, but still has a certain bubbleheaded charm.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Chases romance and comedy across Europe for nearly two hours without ever quite catching either. Essentially a teenage rendition of William Wyler's immortal "Roman Holiday."
    • 60

      Los Angeles Times

      The film means to be an unpretentious, engaging romantic comedy but stretches its charm awfully thin with a 110-minute running time.

      Entertainment Weekly

      At least some Goode may come from Chasing Liberty: I hope we'll be seeing more of the handsome and unboyish young man with big star potential who looks ready to take on more, not Moore.

      Dallas Observer

      Moore's likable and Goode's good. But . . . so what?

      L.A. Weekly

      The movie's saving grace is newcomer Goode, who has what they used to call smoldering good looks, and who can, not so incidentally, actually act.
