Romancing the Stone Reviews
5 Stars for the Movie, 2 for the DVD
As a family, we love watching this movie, and each of us like it for a different reason. My husband is a big fan of Danny DeVito, and just loves all the blustering he does at his brother Ira. I love the romance of it; Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas have visual sparks flying between them and they are a joy to watch. The kids love the adventure and the action, and as they get older, they too love the romance. It's not really for younger kids (under 10) but for tweens, teens and older, it's a gem. It is set in the 1980s so there is a slight issue with the aging of the film, but the directors were fairly careful to avoid obvious fads; Kathleen Turner's clothes are classic rather than trendy so this film stands the test of time better than many others of the 80s. However. Why in the world aren't there any extras (to speak of?) How about a commentary? Interviews? A making of featurette? Anything...throw us a bone. This is such a well loved movie by many people...surely it deserves a special edition!! This DVD is just bare bones. It's been more than 20 years...how about for the 25th anniversary (or sooner?) Please, Fox studios??
If this isn't a five star film, I don't know what is.
One of the best films of the 80s, and an all-time high for Zemeckis. I saw this film when I was ten years old, against my wishes. My mother thought it looked like fun -- she was just turning 40 at the time and recently divorced. We went together on a Friday night and had an absolute blast! I still remember this many years later, and the film has lost non of its magic. It is a beautiful, realistic romance, and totally hilarious. You have to look back a long way in Hollywood to find a film this good. A+
