The Château Reviews
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Funny, even after it has run out of ideas.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Peretz comes up with enough fresh twists to the ugly American vs. surly French confrontation to sustain this delightfully bittersweet culture-clash comedy.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The Chateau belongs to Rudd, whose portrait of a therapy-dependent flakeball spouting French malapropisms ... is a nonstop hoot.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Sime
Has the gritty look of a Dogma film, which shows what the movement's influence has been reduced to: a trendy look, not a set of principles for honest, no-frills filmmaking.
Chicago Tribune
Robert K. Elder
Limps along on a squirm-inducing fish-out-of-water formula that goes nowhere and goes there very, very slowly.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
It's a likeable piece and a prime audition reel for both Rudd and Malco.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A culture-clash comedy that, in addition to being very funny, captures some of the discomfort and embarrassment of being a bumbling American in Europe.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
A culture clash comedy only half as clever as it thinks it is.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Thanks to The Château's balance of whimsicality, narrative discipline and serious improvisation, almost every relationship and personality in the film yields surprises.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
After the setup, the air leaks out of the movie, flattening its momentum with about an hour to go.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
The Chateau... is less concerned with cultural and political issues than doting on its eccentric characters.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A comedy that swings and jostles to the rhythms of life.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
There are enough of the usual only-in-the-movies misunderstandings between Graham and Allen to delay any sort of resolution, but director Jesse Peretz neglects to fill the gaps with any memorably diverting action.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Suffers from rambling, repetitive dialogue and the visual drabness endemic to digital video.
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
The raw art of the malapropism has rarely been so extensively honored, but the increasingly strident, slapstick-smacked movie runs out of steam once the culture shock wears off.
Film Threat
Merle Bertrand
Once the viewer accepts the huge leaps of faith required in the film's premise, it's a lot of fun to strap oneself in and enjoy this goofy ride.
San Diego Metropolitan
Jean Lowerison
Has an improvisational feel and a cheesy, shot-on-video look (why do that when you've got the French countryside as subject?), but that first hour is still worth seeing.
