Critic Reviews

Elizabeth Weitzman

Everything you might want in a road movie: an off-the-cuff sense of adventure, a winningly scruffy charm and a whip-smart sense of humor. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Every time the pace starts to flag, it coughs up one hilarious left-field interlude after another. Read full review

Desson Thomson

So unambiguously good-natured it feels like something fresh. Read full review

Ty Burr

Sweet little crowd-pleaser. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

Never less than breezily entertaining. Read full review

Derek Elley

Highly engaging, beautifully played romancer. Read full review

Ed Park

A nimbler approach to border crossing, German-born director Fatih Akin's In July resembles a shaggier "Serendipity," with a similar moony conflation of coincidence and destiny. Read full review

An overly pretentious movie about two hicks going nowhere. Not much else needs to be said except that this movie is not as great as plenty of other movies i could name which not only exceed it, but just outright leave it trailing in the dust. Go watch Indiana Jones, don't waste your time here.
