After reading about how this sequel to Romancing The Stone didn't do as well at the box office, and that Kathleen Turner didn't even want to be in it, I was surprised to find that I actually liked it better. It appeared to me that the three main characters found their groove once reunited and worked very well together. The story was engaging and as a whole this was much faster paced with more action and funnier than the original movie, so much so that I often found myself laughing out loud at the jokes and slapstick comedy scenes.
