Leave your thoughts about Bossa Nova.
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyThe story is slender, but the Brazilian settings are exquisite and lilting tunes by Antonio Carlos Jobim cast a spell over the entire enterprise. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonImagine a '30s screwball comedy played to a sensuous Brazilian beat and you're ready for Bossa Nova, a delightfully amusing romantic roundelay. |
| MoviolaJorge Avila AndradeLa cadencia y el romance generado por la propia naturaleza de la música hace de Bossa Nova un romance de altura, de gran madurez y sumamente elegante |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldA cheerful and stylish romantic comedy that's easy on the eyes and ears, and makes few demands on the intellect. |
| New York PostLou LumenickOne of the most warmly beguiling romantic comedies the Southern Hemisphere has sent our way in ages. |
| Film.comElizabeth WeitzmanDespite the frivolous feel, it's clear the director intends for Bossa Nova to be a love letter to his two passions: Brazil and his leading lady (who's also his real-life wife). Neither lets him down. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe air smells sweet and there's a thrumming beat in Bossa Nova. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevySort of like a Jennifer Lopez video: pretty to look at, easy on the ears, but ultimately completely vacuous and lackluster. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorThe coincidences that bring some characters together and keep others apart in this romantic comedy are plotted with musical grace. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottThere must be a name for a picture so inconsequential, in which the music provides so much of the chemistry that you get the feeling Bossa Nova would be funereal without it. |
