Around The World In 80 Days movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Despite all the audience-pleasing laughs and derring-do, it fails to take us anywhere we haven't been before. Read more
Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times: Properly silly and slapsticky. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: This comedy is billed as being 'based on the novel by Jules Verne,' but 'suggested by' or 'borrowing the title and character names of' would be more accurate. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: It was exactly what I expected and that's something I didn't really want to see. Read more
Bob Townsend, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A dead-on-arrival movie idea. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Except for little kids and relatives of the cast, there's not much appeal to this numbing remake. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A peppy, fast-moving, wafer-thin amusement that's fine for kids if you don't mind a lot of Three Stooges-style martial arts. For grown-ups, it's the equivalent of a 59-cent tin globe. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: An unexpectedly buoyant spectacular. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Is it any wonder [Chan] is aching for something different? Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Amiably dorky redo. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: The major problem with Around the World is that there's just not quite enough Chan, or at least the Chan we want to see, which is the acrobatic clown. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: Plays like a Three Stooges travelogue. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: Despite the rush to get everyone from place to place, director Frank Coraci luxuriates in colorful visual detail and gives the locals their due. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: To say that all this is painfully contrived is to suggest that Verne's tale wasn't, but at least the novel had some tension. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: A journey worth taking. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: One of the lamest remakes of a classic film I've ever seen. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: A satisfying slice of old-fashioned storybook entertainment. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Feel[s] like a future ride at the Magic Kingdom. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: It's light as a fly, but springs some genuinely funny moments. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Around the World in 80 Days is never as delightful and silly as it needs to be. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: An energetic and enormously good-natured family movie. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: If [Verne] saw the movie with youngsters, he'd appreciate how much they enjoyed it. Read more
Malene Arpe, Toronto Star: Jules Verne is rotating in his grave worrying about his other works ripe for plucking from the public domain. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: This second bigscreen version of Jules Verne's 1873 novel takes plenty of liberties with the material and never generates much genuine excitement, but provides an agreeable ride without overloading it with contemporary filmmaking mannerisms. Read more
Jessica Winter, Village Voice: As the tourist on a time budget, the usually brilliant Coogan merely mugs and flails ... while he and able straight man Chan enjoy scant opportunity to develop any comic rapport. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: Has that cheesy, chintzy mid-Florida feel that we all know and love, despite its $110 million budget. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: The gags are physical but rarely funny. Read more
