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.
