Movie Reviews of Romancing the Stone (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Not PG anymore since they put all the profanity back in
Summary: 1 Stars
The Netflix "Romancing the Stone" had 10+ G*damms in the first 50 minutes before we gave up. Why is this DVD rated PG when they put back all the profanity they took out to get a PG rating for the movie theaters? There is no warning in the product description that it is no longer PG.
Summary of Romancing the Stone (Special Edition)
When her sister is kidnapped by thugs searching for a priceless jewel in the Colombian jungle, a romance novelist (Kathleen Turner) soon finds her own life filled with cliffhangers and danger. All alone, she sets out to rescue her sister and meets up with a handsome fortune seeker (Michael Douglas) who convinces her to beat the bandits to the treasure.Director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Contact) had a hit with this 1984 comedy that first teamed Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito. Turner steals the show from the guys, however, playing a pushy romance novelist who gets stuck among some dangerous figures in Colombia and has only a rumpled guide (Michael Douglas) as an ally. The chemistry between the stars is infectious (the trio went on to make a sequel, Jewel of the Nile, and then an interesting, dark comedy directed by DeVito, The War of the Roses). Zemeckis--whose specialty at the time was creating set pieces of raucous action (as in his Back to the Future)--keeps things hopping with lots of kinetic material. --Tom Keogh
