    I don't believe that Turner is a novelist or that Douglas is an adventurer. The romance was so corny. Not being a big follower of romance novels, I didn't appreciate the humor or irony that this movie tried to provide.

    Romancing the Stone from 1984 is a very good comedy starring Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas, and Danny Devito...these three are soo funny teamed together.

    A romance novelist (Turner) whom is use to the live of NYC and a hopeless romantic is thrown on a crazy trip to South A...( read more)merica to rescue her sister. On the way she gets assistance by a handsome and big opportunist (Douglas). Togeher they set trail on a very long trip with many twists and turns along the way....such a good movie!

    A very 80s jungle adventure movie, that's a Christmas classic. Our lonely heroine heads to Columbia to save her kidnapped sister and meets the man of her dreams. Obviously cashed in on the popularity of Indiana Jones. The ending is truly awful.

    I've seen this movie a few times. It is fine - nothing special. Kathleen survives well on some heel-hacked-off Italian shoes

    There isn't a lot of substance to this movie, but it is tremendously entertaining and the leads give energetic and lively performances. Very well edited, good cinematography and a very enjoyable screenplay. Excellent pace. Great fun and suspense.

    Lame. Liked it when i was a pre-pubescent brat, but i know realise how disposable it is... Bridget Jones & The Temple Of Doom would be a better movie.

After all the Raiders rip-offs, it's fun to find an adventure film that deserves the comparison, that has the same spirit and sense of humor. full review
