Danny Deckchair Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
You'll probably forget Danny Deckchair a few minutes after leaving the theater, but it passes the time well enough while you're there.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
The easygoing humor and uplifting messages -- that it's never too late to turn your life around -- are welcome, especially in the September movie doldrums.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
What finally prevents Danny Deckchair from floating away completely is Balsmeyer's seemingly sincere admiration for those Trudy dismisses as 'the little people,' rendered here with as much respect as eccentricity.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
An entertaining flight of fancy.
Dallas Morning News
Charles Ealy
Such sentiments are fine, of course, but they're not the ingredients of groundbreaking filmmaking. We've been over this territory ad nauseum.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Balsmeyer may remind you of the guy at the party who, after one too many shots, puts a lampshade on his head. It's funny for maybe a moment -- until you realize, to your horror, that he doesn't know when to stop.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Mark Wolf
That it never comes close to crashing is testament to a trio of terrific performances.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Like its hero, the film has nary a mean-spirited bone. Only like Danny, it's a rather slight body.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Danny's a nice enough guy and it's a nice enough movie, if your standards aren't too strict and your tastes not too elitist -- and you don't get overly miffed about huge gaping plot holes all over a movie.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A splendid movie while its hero is preparing for his flight and actually experiencing it, but it's not nearly as interesting once he descends to earth.
USA Today
Mike Clark
A soothing antidote to some of the summer's high-priced Hollywood clunkers.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Despite the soaring novelty of Danny's getaway, and despite the unfailing, scruffy sweetness Ifans brings to every scene, writer-director Jeff Balsmeyer borrows too heavily from other films.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
What you might call conditional whimsy, predicated on the audience overlooking so many plot implausibilities that it might get tuckered out from all the charity.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Unlike its main character, it never quite achives lift-off, but it is a pleasant little diversion with some very sweet moments.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Pleasant little diversion with some sweet moments.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Simply too frothy for its own good, and the feel-good comedy on tap here might as well be the swiftly settling head on the world's blandest beer.
Premiere Magazine
Peter Debruge
In Balsmeyer's hands, Danny's story comes to seem every bit as awkward as the character himself, and the movie, like the balloon ride that inspired it, ultimately falls flat.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
As for the charm factor, I can't think of any screen couple this year with more of such an elusive quality than Ms. Otto and Mr. Ifans.
Washington Post
Sara Gebhardt
A delightful, well-acted illustration of an unhappy person's breakout from his mundane existence.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
A (literally) lighter-than-air story, full of goofs and creeps and fools and silliness, it manages to delight without simpering, make points without lecturing and break hearts and mend them again without turning you weepy.
