Too violent for a comedy and without the insights that could have turned this into a charmer, Pink Cadillac never gels, and Eastwood struggles to make his rough bounty hunter with a heart of gold at all convincing.

Brian Orndorf

While the script stumbles beyond a comforting sense of reality (white supremacists?), Pink Cadillac maintains a certain hospitable, emphatically dim-witted appeal.

Pink Cadillac is rich in character, containing some of the most heartfelt and engaging moments in an Eastwood film.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

As a deeply personal work about free-floating existential identities, this 1989 film has the kind of grit and feeling that few action comedies can muster, with Eastwood and Peters interesting and unpredictable throughout.

Pretty forgettable Eastwood runs out of gas.

Caryn James

It is the laziest sort of action comedy, with lumbering chase scenes, a dull-witted script and the charmless pairing of Mr. Eastwood and Bernadette Peters.

Peter Travers

An overlong, undercooked action comedy made out of retooled parts from other film vehicles.

Calling Pink Cadillac dumb is an insult to dumb movies.

It's weightlessly, irredeemably enjoyable.

Roger Ebert

There's little that's new in the material, and nobody seems to have asked whether the emotional charge of blatant racism belongs in a lightweight story like this -- even if the racists are the villains.
