It's depressing to see a deluxe cast wasted on such by-the-numbers material.

David Rooney, Variety

Bonneville is scarcely original and in no way earthshaking, but its notable cast is a pleasure to behold.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

When you've got three of the nation's best actresses in leading roles, it doesn't matter if your script is only adequate and the audience really has to squint here and there to believe what's happening on the screen.

David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

There are zero surprises in the road comedy Bonneville, sadly including the fact that three middle-age actresses with three Oscars and nine nominations among them couldn't find anything more challenging to do.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten

There's no avoiding the fact that Christopher Rowley's feature debut is as uninspired and predictable as your average Lifetime movie.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
