88In this engaging, understated comedy, it is the journey and not the destination that matters.
-
80Optimistically explores how vastly different people can come together, and how any journey is more about what happens along the way than simply getting from one place to another.
-
80An odyssey of self-discovery of much charm, humor and admirable subtlety.
-
80This French film has a breezy, documentary air that belies the important issues is raises.
-
80A film whose surface charm never gets in the way of its profound seriousness about living life to the fullest -- especially when one knows it isn't going to be a terribly long one.
-
75Although the movie never so much as flirts with melodrama, there is still a bittersweet undercurrent.
-
75Poignant, funny and clear-eyed about some tough topics: homophobia, racism, AIDS.
-
75It's a distinctly French feeling -- an air of caprice and light expectations -- and a perfect prologue to a delightful film.
-
70Sectioned neatly into chapters with titles like "Mon petit frere" and "Ma mere," the film is perhaps a little too rigid, even by the conventions of road movies.
-
A wafer-thin, sweetly sentimental picaresque with semiserious overtones.
-
60It would all be too obviously feel-good if Ducastel and Martineau weren't also tuned in to the liberating drift of the open highway and a sharp native humor that adds needed flesh and blood to their walking metaphors.
-
50Perhaps simply discovering a film so dedicated to a different perspective is adventure enough.
-
50Sweet, funny, well-acted and nicely shot on locations in the south of France -- but on the dull side overall.
-
50Yes, this is the stuff of fiction, where individuals can drift in and out of another's life and make extraordinary, unbelievable things happen.
-
50Understated fun, but not much more.
-
40Makes its points gently; the picture presents its socially conscious messages as if they were written in the sand, on the beaches where Felix would probably prefer to frolic.

MikeM.9I loved this movie - the vignettes are all engaging and the music keeps the mood upbeat as Felix make his journey south to meet his long lost father.
