Summary: Well done but no surprise
Review: It's not a holywoodian love story. It's a simple story of 2 people meeting "randomly" - with some fun, some sadness, some laughs and some love.
Good picture, good film, but not that more.

Summary: Green Card...a charming, funny film
Review: Leonard Maltin may call Green Card a "thin, scarcely credible" romantic comedy, but how many romantic comedies are really "credible"? "Pretty Woman", "Sleepless in Seattle" -- both are great romantic comedies, but neither would win any realism awards. This movie has what all good romantic comedies need to have -- two attractive and charming lead characters facing humorous roadblocks to their obviously meant-to-be relationship.This film was overlooked when it came out, but it deserves a second chance. Andie Macdowell is lovely and funny as Bronte, but it is Gerard Depardieu as Georges who steals the show. It is wonderful to see this unkempt, chain-smoking, abrasive Frenchman start to make inroads into the all too proper Bronte's heart. One of the funniest scenes is the impromptu concert composer Georges gives for Bronte's stuffy society friends. If you love lighthearted romance, this is one movie you'll really enjoy.

Summary: One of my favorite movies
Review: OK, I don't know why I love this movie so much but it touches me every time I watch it. It is the only movie I have ever actually purchased. Maybe because Georges is so uncool and so loveable I just want him to get the beautiful girl. This is really a "feel good" movie.

Summary: I fell in love with it!
Review: One of the best romantic comedies I have ever seen. Gerard Depardieu is an unlikely romantic lead but he is totally enthralling. I love the way Andie Macdowell's character gradually loosens up. The romantic tension is very believable. The humour is great and the ending is very satisfying but not sappy! A must-see!

Summary: Cotton Candy Minus The Sugar
Review: The main problem with this film is the awful script, there is not a single memorable line in the dialogue. The premise of the film - 2 people pretending to be married to get a green card is intriguing, but unfortunately the execution is very poor. No matter how good an actor you are, (and there are many in this film), ultimately there is a limit to how many insipid things you can say. And that's what the dialogue in this film is. There is no chemistry between the hero and heroine in this film, when compared to other great modern film screen couples Tom Hanks / Meg Ryan (Joe Versus The Volcano, Sleepless in Seattle) and Bill Pullman / Sandra Bullock (While You Were Sleeping). In these other films the leads give heartwarming and believable performances, you can almost see them falling in love. This is not the case for Green Card , ultimately it fails to convince. If you watched this film and thought it was a great romance, try watching some of the films I mention, believe me you will be captivated. Green Card however, is a deservedly obscure film, and we should let it fade into the shadows.

Summary: CAPTIVATING
Review: The slim premise of Green Card -- a French slob wants to be a US citizen; a left-wing socialite wants a fabulous apartment with a greenhouse; they get married -- creeps up on you, and expands in ways that will surprise you. Yes, this is a love story, but it is somehow much more than that. Peter Weir, who directed Witness (a wonderful, evocative romance), has a way of weaving a spell on you with his movies. Here, he is aided by the galvanic performance of Gerard Depardieu, who is life itself. Andie MacDowell, who is his inferior in the acting department, is suited to her uptight role in a way that favors her: you can actually believe she could be this person, which is usually not the case with this lovely but inept actress. Bebe Neuwirth is her usual dead-on self, in a great, if small, supporting role. The New York locations, particularly that spectacular greenhouse apartment, are winning, and shot with affection. On top of everything, the movie features, in key moments of tension and emotion, the music of Enya, which of course elevates and punctuates scenes in inventive ways. The final moment is a well-earned emotional one, and I think you, like me, will find it hard to resist Green Card, after all is said and done.

Summary: One of the best comedies out there!
Review: This charming movie rocks. I saw it at the theaters and I own it on Laser Disc. Can't wait to buy the DVD. Gérard Depardieu is hilarious, Andie MacDowell is irresistible and don't get me started on the soundtrack (composed by Hans Zimmer of Lion King fame). Highly recommended. So, don't wait any longer and vote for it.

Summary: A marriage of convienience
Review: This is a sweet and funny film about two strangers, Bronte (Andie McDowell) and Georges (Gerard Depardieu)who agree to marry to keep Georges from being deported. Before they know it, they encounter immigration and have to live together in order to give the premise that they are happily married. It is when these two are forced to live together, that they begin to fall in love! This movie is a lot of fun to watch and Gerard Depardieu is terrific!

Summary: Dreadful American remake
Review: This is a very poor remake of a Canadian film called "Les Noces de Papiers". If you can get hold of the original, you will not regret it.
