My husband (a Canadian) made me (an American) watch this movie while we were struggling through the immigration process before we got married. I think he was trying to scare me…
Andie MacDowell plays Bronte, a New York native and a horticulturalist who is introduced to Georges (Gerard Depardieu), a mysterious Frenchman, for one reason –- to get married. The arrangement seems perfect –- Georges needs a green card so he can stay in New York, and Bronte needs a husband to get her dream apartment.
The plan backfires, however, when a couple of INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services, that is) agents stop by Bronte’s apartment. Though Bronte and Georges try to look like they’re really husband and wife, they don’t exactly succeed, and the INS agents set up a more in-depth interview. Bronte and Georges are then forced to study each other as though they’re studying for a history exam.
Green Card is a cute little romantic comedy. I enjoyed it right up to the end, which ruined everything for me. It was kinda like eating candy corn. It’s great for a while, but it ends up making you sick. So if you’re having a movie night with the girls, Green Card is a great movie to watch –- but don’t expect to be completely satisfied in the end.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
