Summary: A popcorn movie that stands the test of time
Comment: Romance novelist, Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner), finds herself thrust into a situation similar to those she writes about when her sister is kidnapped and Wilder is forced to travel to Columbia to ransom her with a treasure map that she has in her possession. Along the way she meets adventurer Jack Colten (Michael Douglas), who convinces her that before handing over the map, she should first locate the treasure for herself.
I saw this film for the first time as a child and liked it very much then, so was curious to see if I would still enjoy it, more than 20 years later. Compared to more recent action films, "Romancing the Stone" seems to take longer to get to the exciting stuff, but once Michael Douglas shows up (about half an hour into the film), the fun starts and this film becomes everything as good, if not better, than the action-comedies that are made these days. That's not to say that "Romancing the Stone" is anything deep. This is a pure popcorn film and eminently forgettable, typical of the films made in the 1980's, but while you're watching it, it's a good way to fill in 100 minutes of your life.

Summary: Crazy Couple Adventure
Comment: Romancing the Stone is just plain fun. Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas have plenty of chemistry and the action and laughs never stop. Danny DeVito is great as a bumbling bad guy. If you liked this, you'll probably also like the sequal Jewel of the Nile and all the Indiana Jones movies.
