Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

SnoopyStyle Marianne Graves (Goldie Hawn) is a tough lawyer. Passing through Detroit, she runs into mechanic Billy Ray who looks exactly like her fiancé Rick Jarmin (Mel Gibson). Only Rick died in a plane crash 15 years ago. Rick is actually in witness protection and calls into the FBI to find his case handler gone. He had put away corrupt drug-dealing DEA agent Eugene Sorenson (David Carradine) who is now out on parole. Agent Joe Weyburn (Stephen Tobolowsky) schemes to get his new identity and location. Sorenson and his partner Albert Diggs (Bill Duke) almost kill him before Marianne comes to the rescue. The police are after them for the gas station owner's death and so do the bad guys.The situation is forced. Rick should have revealed his story sooner to Marianne. She most certainly walks away from him especially with their initial fighting. The police are after them with the flimsiest of evidence. The setup isn't very believable. There was a whole trial but apparently, one mouse click will erase everything. The movie is caught between the broadest of comedy and the biggest of action. I'm willing to live with all of it but the fake gay hairdresser is bad. The zoo is a weird place to go for the climax. The most notable thing about this action comedy is the title song.

Predrag This is an all out and out comedy and the pairing of Gibson and Goldie Hawn works wonders. This is what saves this fairly predictable film. The dialogues are corny but then with such a pairing, it works fine. The climatic scene ruins the film and could have well been edited.Superstars Mel Gibson and the lovable Goldie Hawn star in this enjoyable, action-comedy. Mel and Goldie have great chemistry together and portray their characters convincingly. 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) recognizes 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. All in all, good story line with action, laughs and a bit of romance. However, the flick did entertain (maybe a notch up from slapstick) and was good entertainment, just not that great.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Robert J. Maxwell There's nothing much that's really new in this film but it is diverting at times, if only because there is so much going on -- and at such a tempo.Goldie Hawn is fluffy, feminine, and sexy. She wears her blond hair in a kind of lustrous mop with a lengthy cascade down her back. And, as usual, her slightly asymmetrical lips lend her a goofy appearance.Mel Gibson isn't bad either. In fact, his best scenes involve his being scared half to death. He shakes and stutters magnificently. But what is this thing with his butt? Alright, alright, the ladies seem to love it but do the rest of us have to suffer through Mel's exposure? Fifteen years ago, the rascally young Gibson character testified against some high-level drug dealers and was whisked off into a witness protection program, forcing him to leave Hawn at the altar. The gangsters are now out of the slams and they and their gang of goons are looking for Gibson. They've also framed him for a murder they committed, so the FBI is in on the case too.Gibson has had a dozen jobs over the years and is now working as a humble auto mechanic in Detroit. That's where he is when Hawn pulls into the station for some gas. She recognizes him. The thugs have been watching her too, and they attack the gas station, causing the first of several formulaic slow-motion exploding fireballs.The rest of the movie is one long interstate chase after another, with pauses at some of the places where Gibson has held previous jobs -- a farm, a hair dressing salon, a zoo -- that sort of thing.There are one or two of the expectable auto chases (one through a narrow alley in Detroit's Chinatown), a helicopter chasing after a crop-duster's airplane, two motorcycles, and a foot chase through an improbable natural history display full of man-eating tigers, alligators, lions, and piranhas.Neither Gibson nor Hawn shoot anybody. It's not that kind of movie. The bad guys are -- let me think -- killed in crashes of their own making, eaten by fish and lions, or electrocuted. Everyone runs around, shouting and shooting, or, in Goldie Hawn's case, screaming. It ends happily.The pace is headlong and reckless. The characters are exactly what you'd expect. There is an upskirt shot of Goldie Hawn's barenekkid behind, which is one of the nicer moments. The most memorable of these shots appears just before the couple climb in through the 14th-story window of a convention where a buffet is available. They stop for a moment to hurriedly munch some shrimp and trade wisecracks before scurrying off.I found it all pretty unimaginative or -- well, that's the wrong word. Rather, it's as if the writers had said, "Let's do a variation on a typical chase thriller, and let's try to make it different. How about if the final confrontation takes place in a zoo in Wisconsin? That's imaginative, isn't it? Does anybody know any jokes we can stick in?"They missed the scene where a bullet shatters the giant glass aquarium and the fish and octopii flood out onto the miscreants.

inspectors71 Thumbing through the reviews for John Badham's Bird on a Wire helped remind me of the particulars of why I hated this stupid, stupid movie in general. I remember going on a date to see BOAW, my girlfriend liking it, and me cringing a grin at the end.The things you'll do to get some.If brainless fluff (Goldie Hawn), ass jokes, and Mel Gibson acting sissified are your benchmarks for fine entertainment, I would strongly suggest you see this thing. Also, if it will help the evening along (if you get my drift).But, if anything with Badham's name on it raises your suspicions about the quality of a movie (and it should, because John Badham's picture is beside the entry "Hack Directors" in the big dictionary of film making), please avoid it.
