Roman Holiday Reviews
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
For lovers of romantic comedies through the ages, Roman Holiday remains a favorite.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The film itself is a classic of romantic wish fulfillment, exactly the sort of beautiful lie that Hollywood specialized in.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Hepburn is utterly beguiling in her star-making role opposite Peck in a delightful romantic comedy about a poised young princess of an unspecified European country who spends a magical day with an American reporter playing hooky.
Hollywood Reporter
Milton Luban
With Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn turning in superb performances, Roman Holiday is 118 minutes of sheer entertainment.
Variety
Variety Staff
[Wyler] times the chuckles with a never-flagging pace, puts heart into the laughs, endows the footage with some boff bits of business and points up some tender, poignant scenes in using the smart script and the cast to the utmost advantage.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Wyler lays out all the elements with care and precision, but the romantic comedy never comes together -- it's charm by computer.
New York Times
A.H. Weiler
Mr. Wyler and his associates have fashioned a natural, tender, and amusing yarn about the heiress to the throne of a mythical kingdom who is sick unto death of an unending schedule of speeches, greetings, and interviews attendant on her goodwill tour...
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Audrey Hepburn won an Oscar and popular acclaim in this story of a princess who breaks free of the palace and has a fling with Gregory Peck.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
If only more filmmakers would remember that not all fairy-tale romances need to have a pat, happily-ever-after ending.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Wyler's direction is heavyhanded (imagine what Lubitsch or Capra would have done with the romantic tale), but the actors (Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, and Eddie Albert) are charming and on-location shoot in Rome is major benefit even if the film is b/w.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
Mixes the romantic comedy formula of an unlikely couple slowly falling in love with some classic slapstick to create a movie that's tough not to be delighted by.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
The reason Roman Holiday works is because it understands Hepburn's place in the pantheon of Silver Screen icons
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
What a never-to-be-forgotten brief holiday it was, befitting one of filmdom's true regal princesses.
The Nation
Manny Farber
The Paramount crew that worked on Roman Holiday reminded me of expert marksmen who had made "charm" their target and seldom if ever missed it.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A delicious romantic-comedy.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
It's a beautiful snapshot into the past, both for the historic look of Rome and to witness the birth of the romantic comedy.
TV Guide
Delicious and delectable Audrey's Oscar-winning American debut. But not such a difficult feat with William Wyler backing you up.
TIME Magazine
The newcomer named Audrey Hepburn gives the popular old romantic nonsense a reality it has seldom had before.
