The chemistry between Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.
When I finished viewing this DVD I wanted to...
Watch the sequel.
This DVD made me feel...
Hopeful. I felt empowered, like I was capable of doing whatever I set out to do.
The cast of this DVD...
Kathleen Turner

Danny DeVito

Interesting Fact. Robert Zememkis directed this film. He also directed Forest Gump. Both movies use humor well to connect viewers to the characters.
I recommend this DVD because...
It's a good study at what romantic suspense is all about. There's a good balance between suspense and romance.
Further Comments...
I remember watching this movie when it first came out, and I loved it. I liked all the excitement and adventure and I was impressed at how an "ordinary" person like Kathleen Turner's character, Joan Wilder, could go on the adventure of a lifetime.
