Review of Nadine

Nadine (1987)
3/10
Could've been lightly likable with better characters and writing
27 July 2017
This is a sort of light hearted adventure romance that has probably the worst possible writing of characters and plot.

The obnoxious bad guy is one thing, and meant for the dweebs who love obnoxious bad guys. The hero is impossible to relate to. He begins as a guy who has every woman on Earth already as girlfriends, and add to that he has ESP, add to that he is a demon possessed control freak (when Nadine gives him a gift, he insists on her telling him every single thing she ever did.

Nadine is just as demonic. She begins by killing some guy, who maybe deserved it, but the fact is that she just does it to get some photos of herself back from him. Only the most demon possessed people can relate to this, or even understand it.

Everything that happens is contrived to help the most demon possessed control freaks.

That's poor writing.

Too bad, because there was a lot of time and money spent on this in production. The directing is there. The writing isn't. That makes it even worse, being a "waste" of resources for something with zero inspiration and strategy.
