Critic Reviews for Nadine

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (1)

The uneven, insubstantial slapstick comedy is good for a few chuckles playing the white trash joke card.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

An innocuous little wisp of a romantic comedy, spiced up with some chases, escapes, and even a few gunfights.

Modest but occasionally entertaining flick with a nice pairing of Bridges and Basinger

Maybe this film is responsible for the death of the drive-in?

Audience Reviews for Nadine

Jeff Bridges and Kim Basenger with real heavy accents ya'll, get inta all kinda trouble. It looks very dated, but it's just about watchable, because of the great actors.
