It's easy to have missed this film, but if you're a fan of Indiana Jones, you owe it to yourself to check this movie out. Kathleen Turner has never looked sexier than she did in this film, and Michael Douglas was very well cast in this role as a rustic adventurer who teams up with an out-of-place city girl to search for a treasure deep in the jungles of Colombia. I must've watched this movie a f... read more

"Goddamn it, I knew I should've listened to my mother. I could've been a cosmetic surgeon, five hundred thou a year, up to my neck in tits and ass."

A fleeting glance at the cover art, trailer or plot synopsis for Romancing the Stone, and it would seem that this Robert Zemeckis-directed picture could have easily bore the title Raiders of the Lost Stone. However, this would be writin... read more

MINI-REVIEW:

Romancing The Stone is an intense action Indiana Jones-like thrill ride! I mean, it does take a lot off Indiana Jones but despite that, it didn’t ruin my liking for it. Robert Zemeckis directs his first major film but Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is the film that set him on track. It is a funny film that is good for the family. Need to see the sequel The Jewel Of The Nile... read more

"12.5. Jälleen oli aika katsoa seikkailua krapulassa. Lapsena moneen kertaan nähty kasariklassikko osoittautui edelleen hyvin viihdyttäväksi elokuvaksi, jossa krokotiileista innostuva kidnappaaja nauratti hyvinkin paljon. Danny DeVito taas ei naurattanut. "

"Director Robert Zemeckis displays such dazzling cinematic know-how that it's genuinely depressing when this 1984 film falls off into the usual self-ridicule. - Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader Turner is like a lot of unwitting screen heroines ahead of her, guaranteed that her drab existence is about to be transformed -- probably by a man, preferably handsome and adventurous. - Variety Staff, Variety An elaborately produced, mostly charmless adventure-comedy that intends to make fun of a kind of rom"
