Critic Reviews of "Avanti!"
Chicago Sun-TimesOctober 23, 2004Avanti! isn't a laugh-a-minute kind of a movie, and it's too long by maybe half an hour.
New York TimesJanuary 01, 2000Intermittently funny, charming, cute and, unfortunately, over-long.
Chicago ReaderJanuary 01, 2000This 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.
Bright Lights Film JournalMarch 24, 2009There is a lot of Billy Wilder in [Avanti!], including the idea that age is a state of mind. The film doesn't all work, [but] when the rigid Armbruster warms up on a sunny rock,... Wilder is telling us something that is more than just fun.
Combustible CelluloidAugust 01, 2008Wilder justifies this film's length (144 minutes) with its loving, carefree and even relaxing Italian vacation atmosphere.
TV GuideAugust 14, 2007A delightful romantic comedy, Billy Wilder style, meaning that its romanticism is curdled and its comedy is amusingly dark.
Video-Reviewmaster.comApril 28, 2006Weak Billy Wilder is worth a watch.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDecember 20, 2005It has many delightfully absurd moments in which Jack Lemmon and Brit actress Juliet Mills thoroughly exploit to the fullest.
Film4May 24, 2003A biting farce about an American in Italy, this gets great comic mileage out of Lemmon, Mills and the Mediterranean, but Wilder seems uncertain whether he's laughing with or at his protagonists.
Nitrate OnlineFebruary 02, 2003It's not vintage Billy Wilder, but even lesser Wilder has wit to spare.
Empire MagazineFebruary 13, 2001Gentle and touching satirical drama with Lemmon on form but without much bite.
