Harrison Ford's performance is the big surprise in this otherwise wonky, frequently shambling tall tale.

Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Rotten

The conceit endows Lively's regal air of distracted superiority with an intermittent pathos, but the director, Lee Toland Krieger, brings no identifiable perspective, and the screenwriters ... hardly tap a century's worth of material.

Richard Brody, New Yorker
Rotten

This is one of those movies that have you wondering: Long before the actors signed up and the locations were chosen and the sets were built and the filming began, how did someone not say, "Um, we have a big problem with this story"?

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

This is a film that needs Amy Adams's twinkle or Sandra Bullock's nervous stammering. It needs a star with life.

Wesley Morris, Grantland
Rotten

Everything is just a little off: The plot is resolved too tidily, and Lively appears ill at ease - she's stiff and self-consciously ladylike, as if she were a little embarrassed by the material.

Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice
