Review of The Jewel of the Nile (1985) by Ttt C — 28 Apr 2010
Kathleen Turner plays Joan Wilder who is a famous romance novelist with a recently acquired writer's block who lives on a boat with her boyfriend Jack Cotton (Michael Douglas). Joan agrees to write the biography of a Shiek and is whisked off to Africa, leaving poor Jack behind.
Joan soon finds herself in the midst of a mysterious and dangerous situation involving the all powerful "Jewel". Danny DeVito, who has been lurking about and hears the word "Jewel" is not going to be left out this time, and tags along with Jack to come to her rescue.
All in all, it's an enjoyable enough comic adventure and Danny De Vito once again steals the show and gets the biggest laughs as they trek through the desert with some angry Muslims hot on their heels.
