Leave your thoughts about The Accidental Tourist.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI've never seen a movie so sad in which there was so much genuine laughter. The Accidental Tourist is one of the best films of the year. |
| ÜberCinéGregory WeinkaufA genuinely beautiful and human story out of the Hollywood mills. Subtly amazing work from all concerned. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrHurt's character is so inert and unemotional that some spectators may find it difficult to stay interested in him. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasBeautifully-acted comedy-drama that doesn't overdose on its quirks. |
| Common Sense MediaRandy WhiteA mature, well-made film for teens and adults. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA romantic comedy that offers an engaging look at the many meanings of love and change in the lives of a travel guidebook writer and a dog trainer. |
| United Press InternationalCathy BurkeThe strength of the film is that of the novel: an intoxicating brew of irresistable characters. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyKasdan's film lacks the spirit of Tyler's novel; he seems to be the wrong director to translate the author's affectionate and humorous treatment of the characters. Fortunately, Geena Davis as the eccentric dog-walker elevates the otherwise morose mood. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellThe film tries so hard to be funny, but ends up feeling like a rejected Woody ALlen script idea. |
| User ReviewNathathai BOne of the best feel good movies I have seen.A feel good movie, also a little sad in parts but very enjoyable |
