Romancing the Stone has a lighter touch than Raiders but it is just as romantic and jam packed full of unexpected twists and turns.

Tony Black

Romancing the Stone is no searing example of feminist film theory, but it perhaps warrants re-examining in the context of how Zemeckis approaches male and female hero stereotypes.

It may be the sub-standard cousin of better adventure movies, but it is still a rollicking good time.

Adventure first and foremost, followed by an engaging tale and enough good-natured comedy to ensure that no event appears too sinister or serious.
