Bird On A Wire Reviews

GOLDIE AT HER BEST

the fact that i own OVERBOARD,another great and very funny comedy from goldie, which is worth a watch as well,leads me to put this film in the action /comedy bracket rather than just comedy.

goldie recognises an old flame and then all hell breaks loose.

old flame mel gibson is on witness protection programme and someone is out to get him.

very funny, fast moving but the ending is ....well, let you judge for yourself.

definitely one of her best comedy/action films and one for all goldie hawn fans...enjoy with popcorn and some liquid refreshment!!!!

for fans of goldie hawn

You probably have to be a fan of goldie hawn to enjoy this film. This is her typical character. If you like goldie you will like this just a little good old fashioned fun.

TOP MOVIE !!!

The can't-miss teaming of Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn is squandered on a clumsy, illogical romantic melodrama. Running across her old boyfriend Gibson at a Wisconsin gas station, Hawn is astounded that he seems not to recognize her. How could she have known that Gibson was put into the Witness Relocation Program after testifying against a homicidal mob boss (say, don't they usually alter your appearance when they put you in that program?) Curious over Gibson's furtive behavior, Hawn unknowingly sets herself up as a target for the bad guys. The whole affairs culminates in an after-hours showdown at a zoo (a plot device vastly improved upon in the 1996 Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle Eraser). While Bird on a Wire admittedly has its moments of enjoyment, most of the film is on a par with Gibson's embarrassing, homophobic scene with a pair of epicine hairdressers. And whoever heard of the Chinatown section of Racine, Wisconsin?

Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson - what a team! Many laughs as always with these two. A great popcorn movie for the whole family - something for everyone

BIRD ON A WIRE

BRILLIANT, FUNNY, WELL MADE...BOTH GOLDIE AND MEL ARE WELL MATCHED IN THIS VERY FUNNY FILM, A MUST WATCH

Great comedy

Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson are great together in this film, it is funny as well as action packed.

a classic

it was clear this was an old movie but was still a great film with Goldie Hawn showing her incredible talent and body. lol.

If you like comedy films - avoid this.

If there's a worse film out there then I've yet to see it. Endless Goldie Hawn squeals, screams and complaining and a script so exaggerated that even Jack from 24 wouldn't think it plausible.

Leave this well alone and hopefully Ms Hawn will retire for good.

Mr. Gibson's career seemed unharmed after this film but I bet he's has sleepless nights worrying how he could erase this from his CV.

mel at his funniest!!

mel,mel,mel!!i love him so may be a little biast but the pairing of mel and goldie is a match made in heaven!!!sooo funny,good story and fast paced.a truely great comedy film!!!

[Highly rated reviewer]

Director's name says it all

Bad ham it certainly is - a silly plot with wildly unrealistic situations which just aren't funny - a waste of fine acting talent, talent which sadly doesn't get a chance in this appalling film.
