Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
With the help of his lawyer, 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 & Naturalization 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, and how it ends, is infinitely more delightful than your 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

Rating: - Bona Fide or Bogus Marriage
This amusing romantic comedy stars the beautiful and talented Audie MacDowell who plays Bronte, a botanist and gardner, and the charming teddy-bear like Gerard Depardieu, who is a music composer but moonlights as a waiter until he hits the big time. Each with their own agenda, agree to a marriage of convenience and break the law. Bronte's purpose is to have enough money to continue her projects of creating gardens in the inner city for the disadvantaged. George's purpose is to obtain the coveted green ... Read More
Rating:  - Green Card as fun as I remembered it!
Andie McDowell and Gerard Depardieu have a strange/sweet/funny marriage of convenience. Andie's garden apartment is fabulous a whole other character in the movie. If you haven't seen this film, try it. Wacky wonderful film in ways similar to "My Stepmother was an Alien" with like able co-stars and cute plot.

Excellent movie. Andie MacDowell and Gerard Depardieu at their finest. Supporting actors Bebe Neuwirth and Gregg Eldeman are wonderful too. Superb job of directing. You will want to re-watch it frequently.
