Green Card | Year: 1991 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Peter Weir Actors/Actresses: - Gérard Depardieu - Andie MacDowell Green Card...a charming, funny film Leonard Maltin may call Green Card a "thin, scarcely credible" romantic comedy, but how many romantic comedies are really "credible"? "Pretty Woman", "Sleepless in Seattle" -- both are great romantic comedies, but neither would win any realism awards. This movie has what all good romantic comedies need to have -- two attractive and charming lead characters facing humorous roadblocks to their obviously meant-to-be relationship. This film was overlooked when it came out, but it deserves a second chance. Andie Macdowell is lovely and funny as Bronte, but it is Gerard Depardieu as Georges who steals the show. It is wonderful to see this unkempt, chain-smoking, abrasive Frenchman start to make inroads into the all too proper Bronte's heart. One of the funniest scenes is the impromptu concert composer Georges gives for Bronte's stuffy society friends. If you love lighthearted romance, this is one movie you'll really enjoy. One of the most romantic and funny movies, Gerard is so swee Gerard performs as a sloppy frenchman in search of his legal residency in the U.S. by marring a prissy Macdowell who is perfect for the part. Moving story of a poor composer searching for a new life and falling in love for a young girl that despises him with her heart, only to fall overwheels in love with him after sharing her apartment with "Georges" for a weekend to benefit the Inmigration interview as a "bonafide" married couple. Georges wins his lady's heart with his abrupt sweetness and kind heart that wins over arrogancy and "vegeterianism". One of the most romantic and sweet scenes is when they are studying and temptation is flowing on both sides, but Georges knows how to respect the girl. And of course the kisses at the end of the movie with all that combination of music is terrific. Even if this is an old movie, I am buying the soundtrack and I am head overwheels in love with Depardieu myself! Worth watching, deserves all kind of statuetes. Even the rest of the cast is terrific, Mom, Dad (so cute), Loren and her parents. good! Bravo Gerard!! Gerard is fabulous in this one. It's a heart warming picture about two characters with very different personalities, forced together in human circumstance. Five stars!!
