Runaway Bride Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
Why does Runaway Bride feel so off? Why does it produce such halfhearted laughter? This is the sort of Hollywood tale in which everything seems to have been decided by committee.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Cute romantic comedy OK for most older kids.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
That charming thing only works if the story is good.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
After seeing Gere and Roberts play much smarter people, it is painful to see them dumbed down here.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
It works without exactly showing signs of life.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Flawed and unpleasant!
New York Post
Rod Dreher
A runaway bore!
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Charm and stardust carry it past its blatantly manufactured quality.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
There's no question the chemistry between them still works for a light romantic comedy. But an overcalculated, undernourished screenplay undermines much of the effort.
San Jose Mercury News
David L. Beck
Runaway Bride is a shamelessly manipulative, slick, shallow, contrived piece of old-fashioned, pre-tested, star-driven Hollywood claptrap, and very welcome it is.
Salon.com
Mary Elizabeth Williams
Roberts and Gere try gamely to look at each other as if there's a scintilla of frisson between them, but often as not they're forced to eschew the drama and go for absurd overacting.
Film.com
Robert Horton
Safe and sane and bland.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
Misses more frequently than it hits and couldn't care less.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A shiny bauble full of dead weight, gloppy good feeling and airless cliches!
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Doesn't generate enough laughs to make up for the fact that you never figure out what he (a misogynistic USA Today columnist) sees in her (a dizzy hardware-store manager).
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
A cheerful, cheeky, agreeable comedy made doubly palatable by two stars in perfectly balanced chemistry.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
An awkward and gangly construct!
Film.com
Moira MacDonald
It looks as if Julia and the horse were trying to get the hell away from the camera, and into a better movie.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Marshall is too much of a softie; he meanders around the story, milking it for both sentiment and comedy and often tripping over himself in the process.
