Variety
Although occasionally both overwritten and overly symbolic, tale carries a satisfying emotional charge. - 60
Washington Post
Well-made, well-acted but ultimately enervating, this is a respectable effort from Freundlich. - 50
Wall Street Journal
A small story, a monodrama with a hero but no antagonists. - 50
L.A. Weekly
The gorgeous Crudup is talented, but this charming asshole (more asshole than charming) is old hat for him, little more than another of the blank-eyed-loser-on-a-spiritual-quest roles in which he's been trafficking lately. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
Crudup is the best navigator a road movie like World Traveler can have, but even he can't single-handedly transport these goods from nowhere to somewhere. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
Freundlich's postmodern road movie contains several sharply observed scenes but doesn't really add up to much. - 38
Miami Herald
Crudup is about as effective as anyone could be in the dreary World Traveler, but he can't keep this shallow, pretentious film from wallowing in banality and staggering self-indulgence. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
Dreary movie.
