Kathleen Turner plays a romance novelist who wants to find her sister. Danny DeVito plays a really crooked smuggler. Michael Douglas's character Jack Colton looks just exactly like that guy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. That's unspoken for. Jack and Joan have great chemistry together. The scene is unexpected where Jack has the green emerald in his crotch and he dances to let the emerald scroll down his leg and kicks it in the air to let the bad guy catch it and the crocodile bites his hand off, now that's freaking grim. This is a very underrated film. Just brilliant! Danny DeVito plays Ralph and that guy who plays his mate Ira kidnapped Joan's sister so they can get the stone and the map and if Ralph and Ira can have the map and gem Joan and her sister can go. But they're not the bad guys, they're just crooks. The only villian in this movie is Zolo, he's the one who wants the stone. Remember when I said he got his hand bitten off by a crocodile? Yeah, and like I said ''It's freaking grim.'' I actually took me a while to watch this movie for some reason I have to watch this and the sequal to Romancing the Stone. The story, I know it all the way through. It's fantastic. The characters are well developed. It's just fxxking awsome.… Expand

Soon after she receives a frantic call from her sister who has been kidnapped telling her she must meet the kidnappers in Columbia. An adventure movie very much in the same vein as Raider’s of the Lost Ark, Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner make for a great pairing and it’s easy to get swept along for the ride.… Expand

Romancing The Stone is a great adventure movie. Michael Douglas plays a great role, very reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Watching the films of Robert Zemeckis understand how modern adventure films degrade. One of the best adventure films, a good cast.

"The Princess Bride" would be a worthy adversary yet not even Inigo Montaya could rival Jack T. Colton's quick wit. Micheal Douglas portrays this Indiana Jones-like persona to a tee. Funny, vulgar, charming and "Trustworthy". His introduction and the next 20 minutes, where skint-Jack and lost-Joan get to know each other, are without a doubt my favourite part of this mystery comedy. Kathleen Turner is a great damsel in distress who will never stop trying to find her sister held captive by a fantastic DeVito. But so many hilarious and unforgettable moments obstruct her path.… Expand
