Summary: Minor, atypical Eastwood
Review: A major dud at the box-office when released in 1989, "Pink Cadillac" was perhaps the first serious sign that Clint Eastwood's career was in need of a comeback (which came in the form of "Unforgiven" three years later). If his Oscar winning western is his best film, "Pink Cadillac" may very well be his worst. As both an action film and a comedy, it's pretty lame most of the time, but it remains a must-see for Eastwood fans in that he has never before (and only rarely since) been so extroverted on screen. He's quite funny throughout, and his performance compensates for a script that is as ridiculous as it is cliched. Though a minor credit in Eastwood's impressive filmography, "Pink Cadillac" is worth a look for his fans.

Summary: Pink Cadillac never starts
Review: Although I like GM cars, Pink Cadillac stands as being the worst movie of Clint Eastwood's career. He plays a modern-day bounty hunter by the name of Tommy Nowak that uses skill rather then a gun to catch his suspects, although he does carry a gun briefly here. Bernadette Peters plays this little curly-haired blonde who lives in a trailer with her dead-beat husband and his speed-freak friends. Her husband owns a pink cadillac and she drives off in it with her baby and a bag of money. Nowak is then sent to bring her back from a casino before her husband's gang finds her first. When they do, and kidnap the baby, Nowak and Peters bond when they give chase to get it back. The movie is red-neck and full of trailer trash stereotypes in every way. It also helps define the classic example of the woman that takes the bad boy, but then learns her lesson when she finds Nowak. But the movie has poor acting. Clint's chessy impressions, including an imitation of a drunken red-neck, do little to raise any laughs. The gang of army wannabe's don't make the film any more dramatic. The whole concept of "Don't mess with a man's automobile" is literally worn out. Despite the semi-colorful cast of Peters, Frances Fisher, and even Jim Carey, and an expansive soundtrack, this romantic comedy falls short of anything close to a classic. It's a good thing that Eastwood didn't direct this himself. Buddy Van Horn took the rap instead. This is the only film of Eastwood's career that did not receive a theatrical release in the UK, and it remains his lowest-grossing to date. Sorry folks, but Pink Cadillac never starts. If you are an Eastwood fan like me, get it to fill in the gaps of your DVD collection.

Summary: Classic Clint Film
Review: Being a fan of Bernadette Peters, I bought this movie to add to my collection. I'm familiar with Clint Eastwood movies, and I thought this one was going to be in the same category as the others. Well, I was wrong; this movie excells to one of his best films. Whether it is Bernadette's portrayel of Lou Ann, or the great chemistry between the two main characters, this movie quickly became one of my favorites. Whether a Clint Eastwood or Bernadette Peters fan, or just a fan of great movies in general, add this one to your collection.

Summary: Never Mess With A Man`s Automobile
Review: Eastwood stars in the watchable comedy about a bounty hunter who is sent to bring in a woman who is on the run from her husband and his band of racists. This is a poor attempt at comedy for Eastwood. Watch for Jim Carrey in his second Eastwood film(the other being The Dead Pool) he plays the Vegas Comic.

Summary: Terrible Movie!
Review: I agree, this was not a very good movie! I went to the movies back in 1989 and watched Pink Cadillac and the only thing good about the movie is the cast, especially Clint Eastwood and Bernadette Peters but unfortunately the movie was terrible and the blend of drama with other genres like action, and humor which has worked in other movies just failed miserably here!

Summary: Unsuccessful Mixture of Comedy, Drama and Action!
Review: I saw Pink Cadillac in a movie theater back in 1989 and despite having a great cast it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I'm fans of both Bernadette Peters and Clint Eastwood but I found this movie boring and I think of it as an unsuccessful mix of comedy, drama and action but that is my personal opinion.

Summary: A funny Eastwood in unfunny film
Review: Quite possibly the worst film Clint Eastwood has ever made (and I'm even counting "Revenge of the Creature"), "Pink Cadillac" still has at least one thing to recommend it: the star himself. Eastwood is quite funny at times in this otherwise dumb comedy, and his performance represents a stretch from his usually laconic manner. Not a must see by any means, but worth a look for Eastwood fans with nothing much else to do.
