The Hollywood Reporter
It is a beautifully crafted film with a star-studded cast, directed with a lightness of touch. - 90
Variety
A rousing, well-crafted romp packed with ingenuity, duplicity, close calls and heroic gestures, Bon Voyage is true to its title. - 80
The New York Times
Blurs the line between comedy and epic drama so adroitly that the two styles fuse into something quite original: a lyrical farce that pays homage to its period in any number of ways. - 75
USA Today
The filmmaker's new subject, the German occupation of France, has been treated with the seriousness it deserves in countless movies over the past half-century. This treatment is light and breezy for a change, though not altogether frivolous. - 75
New York Daily News
At times, the giddy tone makes it feel like a musical set on the eve of Pearl Harbor, but the acting is uniformly good and it's an absolutely gorgeous film to watch. - 75
Rolling Stone
It’s sexy, suspenseful fun, and gorgeous-looking to boot. - 63
ReelViews
Unfortunately, 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. - 50
Village Voice
Relies on its considerable star power to conceal its even more considerable lack of substance.
