Bird on a Wire

It was okay to watch, but it's a shame that the script was
formula bound. Nevertheless, Gibson and half-Jewish Goldie
were appealing together, and there were some good jokes.
It's also impressive how the film includes an older
woman-younger man romance, something that very few films
try, and if they do, they don't do it tastefully. What do I
mean by this film's inclusion of an older woman-younger man
romance? Well, Goldie was 45 years old at the time, even if
she still looked youthful, and Gibson was 35 years old. So
here's a film with such a gimmick that's done in good
taste. My overall rating for this movie is **1/2 stars.
