Review

  • This movie surprised us. As Wife loves and demands a steady stream of romantic comedies; movie viewing is often accompanied by snoring, or disinterested chatter by other family members (college girl and high school boy, and Father). Not this time. Green Card was quirky, witty, and off-balance. It didn't flow like most of the genre. As the movie started you knew that Gerard and Andie would get together, but as the movie progressed you just weren't so sure. It lacked the sappiness of a Pretty Woman, and the cutesiness of a Sleepless. The Andie and Gerard characters were far from perfect, and it had an unpredictability that kept you guessing through the movie.

    Amazingly the teens and Father enjoyed it more than wife and we gave it an 8.
