AMAZON.COM REVIEWS FOR THE JEWEL OF THE NILE (1985): This sequel to 1984's rip-snorting romantic-adventure, Romancing theStone, is a moderately entertaining tale that pales bycomparison to its predecessor. Romance novelist Kathleen Turner andretired soldier-of-fortune Michael Douglas return as a now-complacentcouple. Bored with life on a yacht, they find excitement thrust uponthem when she accepts a speaking engagement in the Middle East. Oncethere, she is abducted and finds herself involved with the "jewel"everyone is chasing. Douglas teams up once more with Danny DeVito torescue his love. Less charming and more predictable than the original,this suffers for one simple reason: the characters have nowhere togo. In the original story we watched Turner blossom from timidstoryteller to lusty adventuress. In this flick she is too much likeall the other action adventure babes we've seen before. --RochelleO'Gorman
