Melissa M @Lisey 6d In the beginning of the movie Joan Wilder is a hapless hopeless romance writer living with her lovable cat Romeo. By the end of the movie she is a hopeful heroine. Joan's widowed sister Elaine is kidnapped by smugglers Ira & Ralph. They informed Joan she needs to bring the map that will lead to the location of El corazon that was sent to her to Cartagena. While on the bus Joan distracts the bus driver the bus crashes into Jack t Colton's vehicle. Jack reminds her of a real life Jesse. A character she created in her romance novels. Jack only agrees to help Joan because she promises him 375 in travelers checks. As they go out on their wild adventure they encounter everything from antique smugglers, zolo & his menacing military. They get help from an unlikely source Juan a drug lord who it turns out is a huge fan of Jones novels. The movie is like a cross between Tomb Raider & Raiders of The Lost Ark. The film was produced by Michael Douglas. This movie is a fun action adventure comedy. See more Christopher C. @PapaTangooo May 21 Danny Devito is a national treasure.

Still funny and compelling and well worth watching. Danny DeVito, Kathleen Turner, and Michael Douglas are great in this, I look forward to watching Jewel of Nile and War of the Roses again too!

Still worth watching and a pleasure even in the 21st century.

Mostly it's the ill-concieved and poorly stitched together script that is to blame - even the characters themselves seem to forget where they're going from time to time - but Zemeckis seems equally confused by the mayhem.
