You expect quality to vary from segment to segment, but the misses outweigh the hits by a depressingly high margin.

David Fear, Time Out

For directors and actors who usually work on projects that take years to develop and months to film, this must have been a really fun lark. For the viewer, it's a full cinematic feast.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Fresh

A little uneven in style, tone and quality. But the picture that emerges of Paris is romantic, cosmopolitan and hopeful.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh

Even the least tales here flit by quickly enough to leave little bad aftertaste, and the best are savored like the last small bites of exquisite souffles.

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle

The best segments are as good as film gets; the losers can make you wince. On the whole, the good outweigh the bad and make the film feel like a minivacation in the City of Light.

Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic
