Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

50

An American girl's own Roman Holiday, with pop star Moore as Audrey Hepburn, sort of, with lip gloss, and British stage actor Goode as Gregory Peck, sort of, with a backpack!

Elvis Mitchell New York Times (Top Critic)

Mandy Moore stars in a romantic comedy that stumbles trying to stay in the footfalls left before it by Roman Holiday and It Happened One Night.

Claudia Puig USA Today (Top Critic)

50

An innocuous, occasionally cute movie made watchable by the appealing Mandy Moore and hunky Matthew Good.

Ann Hornaday Washington Post (Top Critic)

An endless, virtually laugh-free pastiche of Aaron Sorkin by way of Aaron Spelling.

Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post (Top Critic)

Chasing Liberty will probably win over as many fuddy-duddy fathers as fillies with its mixture of sweetness tempered with genial cynicism.

It's one TV-movie romp that Kristy McNichol never got around to starring in.

Laura Sinagra Village Voice (Top Critic)

Moore's lip-glossed petulance never catches fire with Goode's canned drollery.

Jami Bernard New York Daily News (Top Critic)

25

Chasing Liberty is a comedy with no sense of fun, a romance with no passion.

Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

67

Chasing Liberty is fine (if empty) fun, and much credit for that should go to feisty Moore.

Philip Wuntch Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

Familiarity doesn't always breed contempt. In the case of Chasing Liberty, it breeds affection.

Michael Booth Denver Post (Top Critic)

[A] happy trip.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)

50

Chasing Liberty is surprisingly good in areas where it doesn't need to be good at all, and pretty awful in areas where it has to succeed.

Robert K. Elder Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

75

A likable, light-as-air road comedy.

Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

63

Chasing Liberty boasts exceedingly high levels of improbability and an embarrassment of continuity and character shortfalls, but still has a certain bubbleheaded charm.

Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune (Top Critic)

It's pure formula, but it would take a true sourpuss to sneer at it.

Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)

42

One of those efficiently made formula films that keeps movie houses open during the early part of the year.

Bill Muller Arizona Republic (Top Critic)

40

Not a pleasant way to spend an hour and 45 minutes.

Scott Foundas Variety (Top Critic)

Like the recent Freaky Friday, pic also manages to maintain an appealingly even-keel temperament, sympathizing with the frustrations of both parents and children.

Megan Lehmann New York Post (Top Critic)

50

A feather-light, doggedly formulaic romantic comedy that's almost instantly forgettable despite the sunny presence of teen queen Mandy Moore.

Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

40

Chasing Liberty chases laughs and charm for most of its 100 minutes. It loses both races, but it has its moments, an engaging cast and a lot of scenery of the great cities of Europe.

Geoff Pevere Toronto Star (Top Critic)

40

Chasing Liberty is strictly vanilla-flavoured, status quo entertainment.

Rick Groen Globe and Mail (Top Critic)

50

Chasing Liberty is a many-unsplendoured thing, but the one thing it isn't is a movie.

Charles Taylor Salon.com (Top Critic)

Forgettable fluff but it left me in an unaccountably bad mood, mainly because it's a step back for Mandy Moore.

James Berardinelli ReelViews (Top Critic)

63

A fairly standard-issue teen romantic comedy.

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

Chases romance and comedy across Europe for nearly two hours without ever quite catching either.
