Leave your thoughts about Bird on a Wire.
| Boston GlobeJay CarrDespite the extended running time jam packed with action scene after after scene it still feels a little short on content. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIn Bird on a Wire, director John Badham doesn't pay the dues before he brings in the exotic locations. We don't believe the characters, and so the elaborate chases and escapes and stunts and special effects are all affectations. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumFun caper romp with charismatic stars Mel and Goldie. |
| Miami HeraldJuan Carlos CotoBird on a Wire lords its star power over us; it thinks the sheer cumulative adorableness of the principals will win us over and make up for its multitude of sins. It should think again. There is nothing to this John Badham movie except the spectacle of determined stars turning the brilliance of their personalities on us. That and chases -- car chases, motorcycle chases, airplane and helicopter chases. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonScrewball romance, action picture. Summer movie. |
| Los Angeles TimesPeter RainerBoth frenetic and witless--a bad combination. It's the sort of action-comedy vehicle that stands a chance of succeeding only if the star chemistry is strong enough to compensate for all the uninspired calisthenic derring-do. |
| Tampa Bay TimesHal LipperBig, dull, and noisy, this comedy-romance has chases galore, but its comedy is flat and its romance is grating and graceless. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanBird on a Wire is far from inept-every one of those car chases is masterfully staged. Still, for most of two hours you’re pummeled with formula; it would be hard to name another movie at once so proficient and so dull. When a director as talented as Badham reaches this state of empty craftsmanship, who can say whether he’s working out of boredom or cynicism? At this point, there may be very little difference. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrCrass, shoddy and crudely exploitative of the public's worst instincts, John Badham's Bird on a Wire reflects just about everything that's wrong with American movies right now. |
| User ReviewTina SA classic comedy. one of my favourite Goldie Hawn films! |
