Amazon.co.uk Review
In the delightful romantic comedy Green Card, Georges (Gérard Depardieu), a composer and one-time petty thief who grew up in poverty, attempts to escape his life in Paris and begin anew in America by illegally marrying Bronte (Andie MacDowell), a prim and repressed young lady from a privileged life in Connecticut. Bronte, who has agreed to the scheme for her own self-serving reasons, is exasperated when the Immigration & Naturalisation Service investigates their case, and she and Georges, whom she detests, must spend time together studying each other's lives to avoid disaster. The fallout is infinitely better handled than any run-of-the-mill Hollywood romantic comedy, and the very ending itself stops deliciously short of where Hollywood would feel compelled to drag the story. Fine performances are given by MacDowell, Depardieu--who is fiercely charming pounding the keyboard of a Steinway at an upper class Manhattan dinner party--and Bebe Neuwirth, who is perfect as an upper-class child turned artist who revels in her irresponsibility. --James McGrath, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Film for a night in with a loved one., 26 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Green Card [VHS] [1991] (VHS Tape)
Green Card is the perfect film to watch when you want to spend a night in your loved one. A great date movie with an unlikely leading couple that you will laugh along with. I watched it on original release in the cinema and still enjoy watching it again and again. You will be glad you bought this film and wondered why on earth it took you so long. Buy it NOW.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshing Surprise, 26 Sep 2005
By Laura Thomson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this film but I really did. The story is saved from cliche by a very surprising ending and superb acting throughout. I'm now off to see if there's a sequel ...

4.0 out of 5 stars France and USA - Great Combination, 26 May 2007
By Jay "The Amazon Reviewer" (Mauritius) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
For those looking for an offbeat, uplifting romantic comedy, this one fits the bill. Andie McDowell plays Bronte; she is a young city gardener who has her eye on a beautiful apartment with a greenhouse. The problem is she must be married in order to apply for it. Enter Gerard Depardieu. He plays an immigrant Frenchman looking to marry an American so he will have permanent residency status in the United States. A mutual friend arranges a paper marriage between the two. Bronte gets her apartment; Depardieu has what he wants, also. Unfortunately, the INS suspects it is a bogus marriage and the two have to "temporarily" move in together in order to prove their marriage is real. From the start, Bronte and her immigrant husband dislike each other. Yet, strange things can happen. This is a sweet story with plenty of laughs sprinkled throughout. McDowell looks stunning and Depardieu, despite carrying a lot of extra weight, charms and delights. Nice little touches, such as the scenes where the couple take fake photographs of their honeymoon, are prevalent. Take a chance on Green Card; it's guaranteed to give the viewer permanent smiling status. Just remember all the items in the bathroom..That's a spoiler in disguise.
