This movie is truly a great action/adventure romance. Kathleen Turner is absolutely beautiful in this movie as the romantic novelist, Joan Wilder looking for love in all all the wrong places until she meets the man of her dreams, Michael Douglas who stars as the rugged adventurer...( read more)
Enjoyable action adventure with Douglas and Turner bouncing off each other superbly.
A complete waste of talent. There is no reason that this should be as bad as it is. With Robert Zemeckis and Michael Douglas, I would expect more than a lame rip off of Indiana Jones thrown in with romantic comedy. It is such a cheesy movie with a completely predictable plot and ...( read more)
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.
Great adventure movie. I think it's unfair to compare this to Raider's of the Lost Ark, as Romancing the Stone brings a lot more to the table than just searching for treasure. The cast were all on top form, with great chemistry between a smoking hot Kathleen Turner and a gun-ho M...( read more)
This is without a doubt the best modern romantic comedy of all time. The chemistry between Turner and Douglas is crackling, the characters are all very well defined and executed and the script is smart, funny, exciting, and- of course- romantic.
Rob Zemeckis must have gotten his hands on an early draft of Temple of Doom, or Michael Douglas just wanted to wear the fedora. Either way, the leads have the chemistry of (insert somethings that have no chemistry whatsoever) and the adventure mainly goes nowhere fast.
This movie is sort of a Indiana Jones meets a romance story. Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny Devito all are very good in this and have great chemistry together in the film. Danny Devito was my favorite in the film. A decent story with some action for the guys and roman...( read more)
A great romance/adventure movie with a lot of comedy that I am sure was green-lit because of the success of Raiders of the Lost Ark. A bookish romance novlest gets a distressing call from her sister in Columbia instructing her to hand return a piece of mail that was recently deli...( read more)
Zemeckis jumped on the Spielberg bandwagon and followed up Raiders with this comical and thrilling take on an adventurer racing through the jungle with a girl in his arms. The film is a great deal of fun and the two main leads don't hold anything back. Still, it's all very silly ...( read more)
A romance writer sets off to Colombia to ransom her kidnapped sister, and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure.
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.
I liked this.. it was good. Nice story, nice casting very Raider's of the Lost Arc.. but still great to add to the collection!
Kathleen Turner stars as an adventure/romance writer who finds herself on an adventure of her own. Her sister is kidnapped and she goes off to Columbia to find her.
Along for the ride is an adventurer (Michael Douglas) who's a lot like the hero from her novels. Together t...( read more)
entertaining. Romance and adventure hand in hand. Danny Devito is hilarious in this flick.
Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner make a fantastic pair, in this fun romantic-comedy Romp thru the jungles of Columbia. The chemistry these to actors have resembles that of Bogart and Hepburn. The movie is dated, but it is still fun, and if you overlook some parts, and immerse ...( read more)
Thuroughly entertaining, yet painfully dated. What was an edge of your seat romantic adventure when I was 10, is now barely enough to keep the kids awake. Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner have amazing chemistry. And there is some nifty peril for our heros. It's enjoyable o...( read more)
As far as Indiana Jones rip-offs go, this one isn't too bad. This one is the one that really started Zemeckis on his way. Featuring Turner when she was still hot and Douglas before he became an alligator hand bag. Don't bother with the sequel "Jewel of the Nile".
Only Michael Douglas film I like. But he's great in this. Though I do keep mixing it and Crocodile Dundee up. Pure adventure.
Fun, lighthearted romantic adventure! Great dynamics between Turner & Douglas. (1-22-09)
Though, I haven't seen ALL of it (I saw most of it), I thought that it was pretty awesome
