Variety
Inoffensive adolescent escapism laced with surprising amounts of genuine charm. - 63
ReelViews
Chasing Liberty is not daring or adventurous, but, considering its release date (early January), it's more palatable than one might anticipate. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Boasts exceedingly high levels of improbability and an embarrassment of continuity and character shortfalls, but still has a certain bubbleheaded charm. - 60
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. - 58
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. - 50
Dallas Observer
Moore's likable and Goode's good. But . . . so what? - 50
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.
