In July(Im Juli)

San Francisco Chronicle by

A picture so infectious it almost seems original.

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

Mr. Akin pursues his happy, silly love story without embarrassment, and In July is ultimately more endearing than irritating.

Variety by Derek Elley

Highly engaging, beautifully played romancer.

Washington Post by Desson Thomson

So unambiguously good-natured it feels like something fresh.

Village Voice by Ed Park

A nimbler approach to border crossing, German-born director Fatih Akin's In July resembles a shaggier "Serendipity," with a similar moony conflation of coincidence and destiny.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

Everything you might want in a road movie: an off-the-cuff sense of adventure, a winningly scruffy charm and a whip-smart sense of humor.

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman

Never less than breezily entertaining.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

If nothing else, this utterly charming -- if ultimately inconsequential -- road picture proves that there is such a thing as German romantic comedy.

Miami Herald by Marta Barber

Who would have thought a German comedy could be light, charming and devoid of intellectual snobbery?

The A.V. Club by Scott Tobias

Every time the pace starts to flag, it coughs up one hilarious left-field interlude after another.
