The Jewel of the Nile, the sequel to Romancing the Stone, is both more fun and less touching than the original – what was once a love story is now an out-and-out romp. — Jewel is also a smartly written and playfully directed crowd pleaser —
Director Lewis Teague uses the frame the way a magician uses a hat or a handkerchief: surprises are always popping into it, or out of its shadows. —Teague has a way with action sequences — [Kathleen] Turner, her green eyes sparkling in soft red light, is as radiant as a Christmas tree, and as hang-it-all jolly as an elf. —
The movie’s all surface, true – it doesn’t linger for a second. Then again, effervescence, too, has its place.”
– Paul Attanasio / The Washington Post 10.12.1985
