These are good actors telling a good story, so the virtue is indeed easy to grasp, and a fine time should be had by all.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
Easy Virtue has all the elements for a sprightly romp with serious underpinnings, and occasionally it achieves that balance. But it's marred by attempts at farce that are as belabored as they are ill-advised.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fresh
A winning, witty fox trot through the Roaring 20s, when men were men, women were liberating themselves and the 'to the manner born' were losing their grip on their manners -- and manors.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
Jessica Biel gets more publicity for her body and her boyfriend than for her acting ability, but Easy Virtue may be cause for a reassessment.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
