Description:
In the same romantic spirit as PRETTY WOMAN and GHOST, GREEN CARD lights up the screen with its irresistible charm and lighthearted humor! The fun starts when two strangers (Andie MacDowell, SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE), and Academy Award(R)-nominee Gerard Depardieu (CYRANO DE BERGERAC) agree to a marriage of convenience -- thinking it's going to be hassle-free. She'll get to live in the apartment of her dreams, he'll get a 'green card' to live in the U.S. But before they know it, the two opposites encounter far greater differences than most married couples could ever imagine! And worst yet, this mismatched twosome just might be falling love. Winner of two Golden Globe Awards (Best Picture and Best Actor), this delightful tale enjoyed cheers from critics and audiences alike. With its sunny mix of wit, spirit, and charm, GREEN CARD is an entertaining hit you'll never forget!
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

Average Rating: 
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 ... 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.
Rating: - Great Movie
Enjoyable movie that has stood the test of time. Very funny and imaginative.
Rating: - Green Card
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.
Rating: - An unlikely tale of love...
Green Card was a good movie. The main characters are well defined and relatable because they are not fake or scripted. The story makes you realize that what you think you want isnt always what you need. A perfect example of how love shows up when you least expect it and when you are not looking for it. Funny and heart warming!
