Rating: Summary: Movie and DVD Review. Review: "Romancing The Stone" is a fantastic movie that is hilarious, romantic, and action-packed. Kathleen Turner stars as Joan Wilder, a romantic novelist who travels to Colombia to find her kidnapped sister, but met and fell in love with Jack Colton, a fortune seeker played wonderfully by Michael Douglas. Danny DeVito is amusing in his supporting role as Ralph, one of the villians from the movie. The picture and sound quality from the DVD are very good, however, there are no extras except for the trailer. I hope that someone will re-release it on the Special Edition or maybe the Ultimate Edition with a lot of features including the commentary, the featurette, the documentary, the deleted scenes, and the photographs. But anyway, it's a fantastic movie. Followed by a great sequel.

Rating: Summary: My all-time favorite movie! Review: "Romancing The Stone" is one of my all-time favorite adventure films. Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito did a fantastic job for acting in this movie. It's packed with action, adventure, and romance! If you haven't seen "Romancing The Stone", rent or buy this film on video or DVD. You won't be disappointed at all.
Rating: Summary: A DVD review Review: A great romantic/comedy/adventure movie. A bit disappointed that this DVD only has a trailer. Interestingly, the English subtitles sometimes translate the spoken Spanish into English and sometimes give the Spanish in Spanish subtitles. The non-subtitled version doesn't give subtitles at all for any of the spoken Spanish. A must have in my collection.

Rating: Summary: Romancing the Stone... Just fun Review: A silly, unbelievable romp, but still fun. Michael Douglas does a great job of being unimpressed and annoyed with kathleen Turner's character. I love it when he chops off the heels of her shoes and she bemoans their designer and price. He says, "Now they're practical." the sad thing after this movie they ran the Michael-Kathleen partnership into the ground.
Rating: Summary: A review from Mr. Entertainment Lover Review: A writer wants to fall in love with the right kind of man. The men she writes about in novels. She gets her chance when her sister gets kidnapped. The movie has a few good parts. Most of it is slow and boring.
Rating: Summary: Fun action movie Review: Although the movie was actually filmed in Mexico, you would never guess that it wasn't Colombia. They must have filmed during the rainy season. The action and adventure can't be beat. The plot is fairly shallow, but that's what keeps the movie fun. Sometimes a simple plot lets you just enjoy the ride, and that's what Romancing the Stone is all about. As much a comedy as an action film, Micheal Douglas is perfectly cast as a mercenary profiteer who recues damsel in distress Kathleen Turner for a price, starting the conflict between greed and romance. If you haven't seen this film, go rent it and watch it.
Rating: Summary: Best Romantic Adventure of the Eighties Review: Douglas and Turner shine as a novelist and adventurer who meet each other in the highlands of Colombia after Turner's sister is kidnapped. Wonderful script and great chemistry made the Turner and Douglas team sort of an Eighties version of Spencer & Tracy. Filmed in Mexico and New York, this is one of my favorite movies of the 1980's due to the belief that love and adveture could be found outside of Reagan's America. The romanticism of their adventures as well as Turner's novel writing career blended both her fictionary vision and her acceptance of realism a major turn for an ordinary film character. Excellent film that should be watched for years to come.
Rating: Summary: Very pleasurable movie to watch. Review: Great movie for the whole family to watch. It's romantic, filled with comedy and adventure. Danny Devito is great..It gives you the feeling that they really are somewhere in columbia. I've never been there,but that's how I picture it in my mind. Good love story. I enjoyed it so much that I still watch it now from time to time.
