Desperate to be taken seriously, Fogg makes an outlandish bet with Lord Kelvin, the head of the Royal Academy of Science: to circumnavigate the globe in no more than 80 days! With his two sidekicks--Passé partout and femme fatale Monique--Fogg is headed on a frantic, heart-pounding round-the-world race that takes our heroes to the world's most exotic places by land, sea, and air. Along the way, our heroes face many adventures and obstacles from an all-star cast that land them in comedic predicaments, and exhilarating action.

    A movie that I can actually tolerate Steve Coogan! Steve is Phileas Fog who needs to win a bet to travel around the world in 80 days. He embarks on many adventures travelling through Europe, Asia and America. Good performances from Jackie Chan who plays his valet and Kathy Bates ...( read more)who plays Queen Victoria.

    Not funny, not historically accurate, not educational. Just Steve Coogan.

    this was actually really cute, I'm a fan of the old one, but this was well made

    Alright, I'll be fair here. This is an extremely silly movie. Extremely. Gut wrenchingly so. Would be a complete ruination of the book by Jules Vern (which I have only glanced through + it was in French so I understood nothing). How did Jim Broadbent win an Oscar for anything? H...( read more)e deserves a Razzie for this film. But the movie is saved by a few classic lines ("Gambai!" - watch it and you'll know what I mean). Dead average - or very close.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Around the World in 80 Days is never as delightful and silly as it needs to be. full review

June 16, 2004
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

An energetic and enormously good-natured family movie. full review

June 16, 2004
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The major problem with Around the World is that there's just not quite enough Chan, or at least the Chan we want to see, which is the acrobatic clown. full review

June 16, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It's light as a fly, but springs some genuinely funny moments. full review

June 16, 2004
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

A peppy, fast-moving, wafer-thin amusement that's fine for kids if you don't mind a lot of Three Stooges-style martial arts. For grown-ups, it's the equivalent of a 59-cent tin globe. full review
