Variety
Celestine Prophecy demands all skepticism be left in the lobby. That's a leap few may be willing to take -- few beyond those millions who bought the book, that is. - 42
Portland Oregonian
As to claims that the book provides a path to enlightenment, I'm an agnostic. But I can swear on a stack of ancient scrolls that the movie plays like 90-odd minutes of purgatory from which you feel you may never escape. - 40
L.A. Weekly
The film taps the same spiritual thirst and anxiety that has made cultural phenomena of "The Da Vinci Code" and the "Left Behind" series. And it’s just as cheesy. - 33
Baltimore Sun
It's hard, bordering on impossible, to evaluate this movie without stepping on people's beliefs. - 30
Los Angeles Times
The movie is flatly acted and extremely ill-paced, lacking any sense of urgency, momentum or fun. "Romancing the Stone" it is not. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
A big disappointment. - 25
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Redfield's fans will rejoice, if only to see the beloved novel illustrated on the screen, no matter how tediously. The rest of us probably should stay away. - 25
New York Post
Arguably as effective as Ambien at inducing sleep, but possible side effects include uncontrollable laughter.
