Captain Corelli's Mandolin Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
All these goodies are crammed into an overproduced jumble that searches vainly for a proper tone.
Variety
Derek Elley
Strikes too many false notes on the dramatic side to add up to a satisfying emotional experience.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
The movie duplicates exactly my experience with the book, although I must say I was thankful to be spared serial outbreaks of hearty Greek dancing.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Cage's ancestors may have come from the Old Country, but he's no more Italian than Franco-American SpaghettiOs.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
While he may be Italian-American in ethnic origin, he ain't no Italian -- Cage looks like an American, acts like an American, and speaks like an American, even in his fleeting attempts to use an accent.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
The movie's craft is dead and dutiful. It's an Oscar machine.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
Based on an actual Greek tragedy of epic proportions, which inspired a novel by Louis de Bernieres, Captain Corelli's Mandolin has finally been adapted to the big screen, with largely positive results.
USA Today
Mike Clark
The result is far from perfect, but to its many merits, add timing. You never get a movie with this kind of story in mid-August, when studios usually dump youth-audience dogs before the kids go back to school.
Slate
David Edelstein
It's from a wry, teeming novel, but director John Madden (or someone) has left out a lot of connecting material, so Cruz seems to go for Cage only because it says so in the script.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A lovely tears- and-popcorn movie.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
As wartime weepers go, Captain Corelli's Mandolin has a lot of pluck.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Under any circumstances, Captain Corelli's Mandolin would be a pretty poor excuse for a movie.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Aspiring to melancholy wisdom and worldly significance, the movie achieves only a coy, frothy simulation of whatever we thought we loved about old-fashioned love stories.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
We began this dismal movie season with one lethally bad World War II romance -- Pearl Harbor -- and now we're wrapping up with another howling dog, Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A phlegmatic, middlebrow romantic drama so stodgy that even the goats look bored.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
The movie is dramatically slack and uninvolving.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
A sprawling saga of the World War II era, Captain Corelli's Mandolin has romance, conflict, violence. What it lacks is economy, subtlety and, above all, irony.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Cruz probably doesn't have more than 40 lines of dialogue in the entire film, but she makes every word, every gesture, every held-back tear matter.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What we get is kind of a condensed version of some of the sights and sounds of the novel, without the heart, the spirit and the juicy detail.
