thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 29 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more 03/31/2016 Interesting to watch to see Brooke Shields acting as a 14 yr old and Peter Fonda in a scene with his famous dad. The story is a little far-fetched with an Apache ghost killing people, and a gunfight with 100 rounds shot off, and nobody hurt. I suppose if you are writing a fantasy, you can make it as silly as you want. See more 10/26/2015 Inconsequential western comedy. Set in the 1950s, Peter Fonda plays a con man of sorts who a teenage Brooke Shields attaches herself to and in Fonda's schemes to find a hidden gold mine. A few western veterans show up like Luke Askew, Paul Fix and even Fonda's dad Henry in unrecognizable make-up, although his voice is infinitely recognizable. Written and directed by Peter Fonda, I think my main issue with the film was that Shields' character was just thoroughly annoying. There may have been a nice story in here somewhere, but I just kept thinking that Fonda should be working harder to kick her character to the curb. Meh. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 09/22/2015 Wanda Nevada is a disappointing film. It is about a drifter named Beaudray Demerille who wins a young orphan named Wanda in a poker game. Peter Fonda and Brooke Shields give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Peter Fonda also did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. See more 01/04/2015 The movie moves slow and goes nowhere. (There are some cameos of Paul fix and Henry Fonda) See more 05/06/2012 love this movie!!! <3 See more Read all reviews
