Iman R I saw this when it came out and I was only 12 but even then I knew this film had a true sense of romance and chemistry between the actors that is very special. And I just loved Gerard Depardieu from the moment he appeared in screen. I also found Andy McDowell very convincing even though the critics weren't as impressed. I think it has to do with the sort of snobby character she plays. Later I found out it was directed by Peter Weir and I realized his films were all my favorites growing up, such as Witness, The mosquito coast, dead poets society and Green Card just as much though it definitely did not get near the critical acclaim as the others. I don't know what it is about his films, I guess it's a combination of cinematography, music, pacing and just great genuine performances. I watch all his films repeatedly. I just watched greencard again after about 6 years and it delighted me as much as ever. It brings a smile to my face and butterflies to my stomach. It's just a great romance and fun engaging movie overall. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This was rather cute if somewhat cheesy. I will admit I watched it more for the decor, the garden and all the details in the apartment rather than acting or story. Sort of one those films to watchif you have time and there is nothing on TV Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming ,yet predictable romantic comedy enlightened by Depardieu magnetism .

Also a great NY movie, for everyone who loves the city. Andie MacDowell and Gerard Depardieu have great chemistry. Overall a lovely film. And you'll laugh a lot! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member You don't have to watch the whole movie, just Google "Gerard Depardieu plays piano in Green Card" and that's the whole movie, and it's worth watching. The set-up is it's a snooty rich gathering, and MacDowell's character is trying to raise money for inner city gardens. The snooty learn Depardieu can tickle the keys, so he sits down and bangs on the piano like a child which shocks the richies. He then settles down dramatically and speaks french and asks one of the rich ladies to translate. The poetry that follows is a hilarious magic trick which only takes a foreign language to achieve (preferably one of the Romance languages). Any man who knows this trick is suspect, including Depardieu and his character, as it's a very "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" trick shown full scale here.
