| Rating |  | | Date | May 26, 2004 | | Summary | Pink Cadillac never starts | Content
 | 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. |
| Rating | | | Date | May 05, 2004 | | Summary | Clint's Worst Film - Hands Down! | Content
| Throughout his long career, actor-director Clint Eastwood managed to avoid the pitfalls of Bad Cinema. However, there are a few wretched exceptions, such as "Pink Cadillac" (1989). This brain-dead romantic comedy, with an offensive white-supremacist subplot, makes "Every Which Way But Loose" and "Any Which Way You Can" look like minor masterpieces. Clint has nothing to work with here -- and registers zero chemistry with co-star Bernadette Peters. Not surprisingly, "Pink Cadillac" went straight to video in Great Britain (perhaps the only Eastwood film to receive that dubious distinction). |

| 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! |

| This movie was awful, my parents made me watch it with them for family bonding time and when the awful movie was over they admitted that they didn't like it either and actually apologized for making me watch it with them! I like Clint Eastwood and Bernadette Peters and think they deserved a better movie that didn't waste their talent! |

| 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. |
