Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Marvellous performances from Lemmon and Mills.

rotten:
Avanti! isn't a laugh-a-minute kind of a movie, and it's too long by maybe half an hour.

fresh:
This 1972 release is the most underrated of all Billy Wilder comedies and arguably the one that comes closest to the sweet mastery and lilting grace of his mentor, Ernst Lubitsch.

rotten:
Intermittently funny, charming, cute and, unfortunately, over-long.
