Editorial Review:

In the blockbuster Romancing The Stone novelist Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) and wanderer Jack Colton (Michael Douglas) went sailing off into the sunset together. In this thrill-packed sequel Ralph (Danny DeVito) is back on their trail and they're back in the fast lane on a perilous trek through the fierce North African Desert. Not even treacherous tribes deadly dungeons and semingly endless villains can stop this trio from finding once and for all that mysterious "jewel."System Requirements:Running Time 106 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG UPC: 024543266976 Manufacturer No: 2236697

This sequel to 1984's rip-snorting romantic-adventure, Romancing the Stone, is a moderately entertaining tale that pales by comparison to its predecessor. Romance novelist Kathleen Turner and retired soldier-of-fortune Michael Douglas return as a now-complacent couple. Bored with life on a yacht, they find excitement thrust upon them when she accepts a speaking engagement in the Middle East. Once there, she is abducted and finds herself involved with the "jewel" everyone is chasing. Douglas teams up once more with Danny DeVito to rescue his love. Less charming and more predictable than the original, this suffers for one simple reason: the characters have nowhere to go. In the original story we watched Turner blossom from timid storyteller to lusty adventuress. In this flick she is too much like all the other action adventure babes we've seen before. --Rochelle O'Gorman

A Good Continuation:

It's been a few months since Jack T. Colton (Michael Douglas) and Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) sailed off into the sunset (literally). They are now in the Greek isles. Jack loves their life of leisure living on their yacht, but Joan is getting board and is fighting a major case of writer's block. In fact, she can't seem to finish her latest book, which is already overdue to the publisher.
Things change when Joan gets an offer she thinks she can't refuse. Omar (Spiros Focas) is about to become King of... more info

Joan, Jack, Ralph:

I search of a jewel for a new book. They travel to many lands for it. And romance too.

Pathetic:

This movie is mostly a waste of time except for the scene when the camel sits on Danny Devito's face. That was entertaining!!!

The surprises keep coming.:

Not as brilliant as Romancing the Stone but The Jewel of the Nile is still quite enjoyable sequel. Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny Devito are back in this action-packed thrill ride, Jack and Joan are sharing their life on a sail boat and some unexpected things start to occur on dry land. I don't want to give away too much but if you like romance and action then The Jewel of the Nile is right up your alley. Happy viewing!
