Romancing the Stone is an upbeat, humorous, adventure movie.
Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) is a romance novelist who's just finished another book when she gets a frantic call from her sister to come save her bacon in Colombia. Joan, unbeknownst to her, had in her possession a very valuable map for some hidden treasure in Colombia. A couple of kidnappers were holding Joan's sister hostage in exchange for the map.
Joan runs into Jack Colton (Michael Douglas) whose occupation, origins, and intentions are unknown. Besides looking like a discount Indiana Jones, he did save Joan's life. They would be joined at the hip for the rest of the movie.
This was a fun and entertaining movie. Danny DeVito was truly the only comedy worth laughing at even if Douglas and Turner were in the funny situations. The movie came together nicely and kept the same tone throughout. Romancing the Stone was rock solid.
