The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerFeb 13, 2014
It’s all light as a feather, with Jeremy Leven, the writer and director, landing some good multinational jokes along the way. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzFeb 12, 2014
Writer and director Jeremy Leven’s film is meant to be a trifle, a status which it achieves, but it’s nothing more than that. Read full review

McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreFeb 11, 2014
With this “Girl” and her bicycle, the cute bits, rare laugh out loud moments, occasionally zippy lines and limply obvious farcical predicaments are never more than instantly forgettable. Read full review

The DissolveMike D'AngeloFeb 12, 2014
The movie’s ludicrous narrative continually forces its characters to behave like cretins, and even when Leven’s dialogue is tolerable, it can barely be heard over Craig Richey’s aggressively sprightly score. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenFeb 13, 2014
Jeremy Leven's attempt at old-school romantic comedy, set in a postcard-pretty tourist's vision of Paris, is more of a foolish plod than a weightless rollick. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFeb 13, 2014
A rom-com whose agreeable individual elements aren't enough to sell the witless contrivance around which they revolve. Read full review

Girl on a Bicycle is like Micki + Maude minus the outrage, complexity, or crack timing. Read full review

Slant MagazineWes GreeneFeb 10, 2014
The film turns the miscommunication between cultures into an utterly lifeless romantic comedy best appreciated as a travel guide for first-time tourists to Paris. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJordan HoffmanFeb 13, 2014
What wants to be a screwball comedy is run over by preposterous character motivation and a clunky plot. Read full review

RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonFeb 14, 2014
The word convoluted does no justice to just how poorly designed Girl on a Bicycle is. It is also stereotypical, unfunny, unromantic, absurd, sitcomish, insulting to several European ethnicities and a slave to what Roger Ebert used to call "The Idiot Plot Syndrome." Read full review
