Lewis Teague's sequel to Robert Zemeckis' 1984 smash hit "Romancing the Stone" is a very similar adventure-romance, only it's a lot sillier. Once again we follow novelist 'Joan Wilder' and her lover 'Jack Colton', this time across Egypt as they romance a very different kind of stone. Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner reprise their roles with no great flair, while Danny De Vito (in tow) provides some comic relief.
"The Jewel of the Nile" does remain light-hearted which it needs to as it is often a little naive. Overall though the yarn leaves us relatively uninspired and lives up to its predecessor.
