Movie review – “Romancing the Stone” (1984) ***

I remember the action sequences were never that great- serviceable but not Raiders standard – but it had great charm. Still felt that way more than twenty years on. Kathleen Turner’s transformation from wallflower to butterfly remains fun and Michael Douglas is a believably shabby hero. Some engaging by play, beautiful locations and Danny de Vito is a funny villain. You never care about the sister.
