Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 04/25/2006
Neither the rambling plot nor the diffuse characterizations offer much of interest, but the young performers are highly attractive, and Robb Webb's excellent cinematography offers a panorama of highly photogenic Spanish locales. Go to Full Review Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times 03/28/2006
3.5/5
Writer-director Kevin Noland effectively utilizes his fine young cast and the natural beauty and rich culture of northern Spain in amiably posing a timeless question of youth. Go to Full Review Eric Campos Film Threat 09/06/2006
4/5
Beautifully shot and filled with lovable characters you could watch for hours, Americano is an amazing journey that makes one yearn for travel. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 09/06/2006
2.5/4
Americano certainly succeeds as a romanticized travelogue, and if this doesn't make one want to grab a backpack and head for the hills of Spain, nothing will. Go to Full Review Dan Webster Spokesman-Review (Washington) 09/06/2006
As Jakes Barnes and friends do in "The Sun Also Rises," Noland's characters are in Pamplona to, among other things, run with the bulls. Those other things include falling in/out of love... [and] drinking wine. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 04/20/2006
2/4
It's ultimately more than a little thin, and watching it feels like listening to a teenager rhapsodize about his summer vacation -- naively charming, but hard to take seriously. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

chip c @Wookiee717 12/17/2017 I'd love to learn more about Ricardo, where did he come from? How did he get there? See more 07/28/2012 an unfinished script and film in need of serious repair. See more 02/25/2012 Movie was a masterpiece , except for the bullfight which was grewsome. but thats their culture. I was honestly impressed with how this turned out. everyone should watch , I was hoping for a glimpse of ruthanna's breasts though See more 02/24/2012 If I were to use two words to describe Americano they would be liberating & vibrant. Liberating in the sense that the overall point of the film is about letting go & letting love in, a true spirit of adventure. Vibrant in part for the colorful Spanish landscape, the mysteriously profound Riccardo, the beautifully exotic Adela & the way Chris, the film's lead, interacts with them. See more 07/11/2011 Romance is one of the best parts of backpacking, although it is difficult to let go of the romance in a foreign country at last. I can feel for Chris. See more 07/03/2011 Its like a promotional movie of Spain, Pamplona. Its a love story between a american tourist and a beautiful spanish girl on an interesting way. See more Read all reviews
