Pink Cadillac is the most graceful, warm-hearted and engaging of Clint Eastwood's comedies. [26 May 1989, p.A]

The plot isn't much (some described it as an unsuccessful combination of Midnight Run and Betrayed), but Pink Cadillac is rich in character, containing some of the most heartfelt and engaging moments in an Eastwood film since his unjustly neglected Bronco Billy.

Enjoyable stuff. I could've perhaps done without the lead characters going the predictable way, but all in all I found this 1989 film featuring Clint Eastwood and Bernadette Peters to be entertaining. Eastwood and Peters are very good respectively. Elsewhere, there is - like in 'The Dead Pool' a year earlier - a cameo for a future Canadian acting star - another Canadian, a musician, surprisingly appears, too. Geoffrey Lewis stands out - he is miles better in this than he is in the 'Every Which Way but Loose' films. James Cromwell is in there, as well. It's silly, yet amusing. 'Pink Cadillac' marks the final collaboration between Eastwood and director Buddy Van Horn - which wasn't quite Eastwood/Don Siegel levels, but a noteworthy partnership nevertheless.

Old school movie classic. It's crazy to see how times have changed since then. It's worth a watch when you can't find anything.

Half-an-hour too long, but still a fun ride.

The bad news is that Pink Cadillac treads on old ground and never really takes off. [24 May 1989]

The second half of Pink Cadillac is almost like a perfunctory sequel to a better film. It is slow and aimless, and when it's finally over, the strung-out finale seems especially futile. [26 May 1989, p.F11]

Pink Cadillac, you might say, is low on gas. [26 May 1989, p.43]

Has he forgotten how to act? He can't deliver lines, he has no comic timing, he moves like a crippled buffalo -- Eastwood is so awful in this unfunny action comedy that those obnoxious movies with Clyde the orangutan now seem like Shakespeare. [29 May 1989, p.C1]

Clint Eastwood s’est souvent fourvoyé dans la comédie de bas étage avec l’âge (et le gâtisme précoce), à l’instar de cette « Cadillac rose » et de sa menue propriétaire victime d’un mari débile acoquiné à une bande de vilains voyous trafiqueurs de fausse monnaie, lesquels sont accessoirement armés jusqu’aux dents ! tout en restant, cela dit, beaucoup plus cons que dangereux… Car on navigue ici dans les eaux saumâtres de la comédie presque mongolienne avec de bons sentiments et de la niaiserie en solde… la facilité et les situations téléphonées se succèdent au fil de deux plombes d’ennui très difficiles à supporter. On ignore d’ailleurs qui est le plus énervant ici, Clint qui bombe le torse comme à la parade (il n’arrête pas de parader du début à la fin), la bécasse en détresse avec son verre d’eau tiède entre les oreilles ou bien le film entier qui se complaît dans la bêtise sans avoir l’air d’y toucher… Et pourtant ! on ne tient pas longtemps devant tout ce fatras merdoyant qui fuit de toutes parts, car même en accéléré, c’est toujours aussi nul à chier (même pas d’effet ‘Benny Hill’ !).
