Summary: A funny movie worth watching
Review: I thought this movie really was humorous and touching. Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn worked really well together. I thought the predicaments they got into were hysterical. I would watch this again and again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Melvin Gibson Romantic Comedy
Review: Melvin Gibson is absolutely as good as he can be in this film, doing the best job of comedic acting he is capable of, and looking as nice as he ever had looked to this point in his life. (Some say that Melvin Gibson is not aging well, but the fact is that he is growing old at the same rate we all are.) If you want to see Melvin Gibson in top form, check out this film. And Goldie Hawn ain't bad either.

Summary: A GREAT COMIC PAIRING!
Review: Superstars Mel Gibson and the loveable Goldie Hawn star in this enjoyable, action-comedy. The plot is somewhat convoluted but the general story is that Rick (Gibson) is hiding under the FBI witness re-location program but he gets nervous when an old flame, Marianne (Hawn) recognises him. Before he can assume a new identity, the man he put in jail (David Carradine) is released and comes to pay his respects. Rick and Marianne find themselves reunited when they are thrown into a cross country, action packed adventure, avoiding gangsters, police and an amorous veterinarian, played by Joan Severance. There is nothing short of great chemistry between the two leading players, even if there roles are quite typical of roles they have both played in other films. Never the less this film holds many laughs and good points and the unforgetable climax in an elaborate zoo exhibit is where the film really scores best.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very fun movie!
Review: This is a movie to watch if you're just in the mood for some fun. Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn give great performances, and the title song by Aaron Neville adds a whole new dimension to the film. Joan Severance gives an extremely underrated performance as Gibson's shotgun-toting old flame, Dr. Rachel Varney, who helps Hawn and Gibson escape from her farm with their heads still sewn to their bodies. David Carradine is also in top form, and watch out for his sidekick, the menacing Bill Duke. If you want a fun movie, rent this one.

Summary: The Score Is Excellent
Review: This movie isn't really something one can't live without, to rent the movie is fine. But the score is first rate, a shame the music isn't available for sale.

Summary: AN INTELLIGENT REVIEW OF BIRD ON A WIRE
Review: This movie sure got bashed bewtween Malten and Shannon. Well, let's give it a thoughtful review - just for kicks. On the upside, this movie did illustrate, well, the laughable personal and professional behavior of just about everyone in the late 1980s. In fact, the illustration by itself should get a rise out of people who lived as adults through the "Crazy 80s" and others. The government and its representatives were represented in this movie as what most Americans would believe to be true to form, Gibson was a protected government informant and Hawn was his high school love, it helped the movie and Gibson that she was a rich, divorced attorney. Her character enabled Gibson to emerge victorious in a battle planned by a corrupt FBI Agent and an honorable FBI agent who became the unfortunate victim of Alzheimer's Disease. Their adventure was wild and wooley. However, on the downside, it did fall short in that there were certain scenes in which there was an unrealistic portrayal of technical procedure (like the bank scene for instance) and other scenes which did take away significantly from the movie. Basically folks, the movie was a no brainer, but it was fun and Hawn and Gibson made a pig into a chicken - rent it for fun, you won't have any regrets!

Rating: 4 stars
