Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas have good chemistry together and the film is good, but a little overrated. Most of the comedy comes from Danny DeVito and a truly funny scene in a small village looking for transportation. ***

Agreed. Romancing the Stone is a gem. It's all the little details... nice cinematography and direction. It's light comedy that plays like a novel adaptation. It has a lot of clever funny writing and it's quite lively in delivery.
