Leave your thoughts about A Walk in the Clouds.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA glorious romantic fantasy, aflame with passion and bittersweet longing. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaReeves and Sanchez-Gijon generate a palpaple romantic chemistry that makes this shamelessly sappy, often unabashedly cornball story work. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThe fuzziness is suddenly and definitely gone, and Reeves emerges as a mature, charismatic movie star. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezWith a distractingly cute Quinn, a cartoonishly stern Giannini and woozily romantic Reeves and Sanchez-Gijon, this movie is overflowing with ditsy good will. But it just won't be everyone's cup of Chardonnay. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrHalf as interesting as a rerun of Falcon Crest and twice as long. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldUnplanned pregnancy leads to family lies, surprise romance. |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisAlfonso Arau's A Walk in the Clouds is a lush, old-fashioned melodrama, and almost endearingly inept. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarWith (Keanu's) stiff body language and wooden delivery, his every word falls like drops of flat Diet Coke rather than intoxicating wine. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe most disconcerting thing about A Walk in the Clouds' tendency towards overt melodrama is that almost all of it is totally unnecessary. Minor script changes could have eliminated huge chunks of this, leaving behind an uplifting love story. Even as it is, however, there's still something special about the motion picture. I just wish the final half-hour hadn't been such a bloated disappointment. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPretty as a picture, but emptyheaded as hell. |
