Just about stands up as a good film

Just about stands up as a good film in my books. 'Bon Voyage!' is probably disappointing overall, but there's enough produced for it to be deemed marginally positively. The overcooked run time and overly seriously taken plot is what holds this back. There's also a frustrating lack of adventure too, especially after the opening few scenes seem to indicate a fun journey is on the way around Europe - instead they just toddled about around France, whilst trying to force through heartwarming narratives which don't really come off. The strongest part of this film is its cast, which is more than decent. Fred MacMurray is unsurprisingly the star as Harry, but Jane Wyman (Katie) and Tommy Kirk (Elliott) give performances which I mostly liked. Kevin Corcoran isn't annoying either, this is the type of role where what he brings to the table actually works well enough. The film is shot very nicely across land and ocean, though it is mostly outdated in how it portrays some aspects. Still, a film worth a watch - just not one I'll be revisiting any time soon.

Boring and far too long

Wow, this movie is boring. I think it's supposed to be a comedy, but I didn't really find it very funny. It's not one thing or another. It's not really terrible, but then it's not really good either. The scenes when they walk around Paris are better than most of the film, for at least you get to see some of the scenery, but that doesn't really make up for the bland, boring movie that this is. I think the concept is okay and they had a real opportunity to make a decent film, but somehow they just couldn't. I don't think it would have been quite so bad if it hadn't been so long. They could have easily have made a decent film by just cutting about an hour of the movie's runtime. It's not offensive or horrible in any way, however, and it wouldn't hurt to have it on in the background.

A Rare Disney Miss

Fred MacMurray, Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran. 3 classic Disney stars that you can't go wrong with. But somehow this just missed. A good concept but just didn't have laughs. Its more about annoying love spats. I've been watching all of the late 50s and into the 60s live action Disney movies. Some of them are awesome. Some of them are good but a little slow and then by the time you get to the end, the music and the story have you captured. Others yet left a little to be desired but are still good family fare. This one, well it just doesn't make the cut. Well, if you are like me and want to watch every Disney live action movie from the time period, its OK, its not that bad, scenes in France will keep you interested.
