Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
The whimsical plot, involving Casanova's seduction of a cross-dressing feminist, isn't helped by director Lasse Hallstrom's leaden hand.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
The sticky sweet stuff in the middle traps history's greatest lover and slows the whole affair to a crawl.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
The irony of [Sienna] Miller co-starring in a film about the world's most notorious lothario aside, there's not much to love about Casanova.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Fresh
Despite its oh-so deviant title character, Casanova is a harmless bon-bon, a breezy period farce that mimics lesser Shakespeare and a look that recalls Amadeus or Shakespeare in Love.
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
