Russell Crowe has many talents, but a gift for light comedy is not one of them.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Fresh

There are some pretty funny things in there.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

Crowe, a superb dramatic actor, is congenitally incapable of humour, especially when he tries slapstick.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten

On a rainy day, A Good Year may be welcome fantasy; the question is whether anyone will remember it after the clouds have parted.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten

Despite some stunning visuals and a lot of nice moments, the finished product feels like the work of an actor and director who are out of their element.

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
