Acrylic matt thermoplastic resin films having excellent printability, flex whitening resistance, impact resistance and solvent resistance, and a process for the preparation thereof are provided. The films made of a thermoplastic resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of an acrylic resin (A) and 0.5 to 20 parts by weight of a crosslinked acrylic polymer (B) as a matting agent are prepared by a process wherein the resin composition is kneaded and formed into a film, and the both surfaces of the film are simultaneously brought into contact with rolls between them, one roll being kept at a temperature of not less than the glass transition temperature Tg of the resin composition and the other roll being kept at a temperature of less than the Tg, whereby the film surface contacted with the roll having a temperature of Tg or higher is converted into a mirror surface and the film surface contacted with the roll having a temperature lower than Tg is converted into a matt surface.
