Douglas and Turner join up for more fun in the sun, 9 September 2000
7/10
Author: goya-4 from PA USA

Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner return in a sequel to the highly succesful Romancing The Stone. In this one all is not well between the two and after a not so happily after ending Douglas and Turner go their separate ways..But trouble intervenes and Douglas must rescue her again..While Douglas and Turner do well together and DeVito returns the chemistry doesn't. A good sequel but like most sequels not as good as the first.. on a scale of one to ten..7
