      Vic Vogler Denver Post The journey's the thing, and nearly every kilometer of it holds adventure, charm and laughter. Rated: 3/4 Dec 19, 2003 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe [A] sweet little crowd-pleaser. Rated: 3/4 Sep 26, 2003 Full Review Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle Instead of avoiding the genre's conventions, the effervescent German film revels in them, resulting in a picture so infectious it almost seems original. May 17, 2002 Full Review Jules Brenner Cinema Signals Bleibtreu's almost too-innocent shy guy works, and his wider familiarity will help sell the adventure, but it's his co-star who gives us the emotional mileage of the drive. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 21, 2004 Full Review Jean Lowerison San Diego Metropolitan None of this is the least bit believable, but all is told with a light touch and good humor and the characters are quirky enough that you can't help enjoying the ride. May 22, 2004 Full Review Kevin John Bozelka Milwaukee Journal Sentinel We've been to this place many times before, folks: An overly fastidious, brainy male gets led through a series of zany adventures by a free-spirited female, and the moral of the story is to not live life so cautiously. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 12, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review paul s A few silly moments but overall an enjoyable movie.
