4.0 out of 5 stars The best romantic movie without overt sexual scenes., April 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Year of the Comet [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the first entertaining movie i've seen in a long time. Penelope & Tim are both funny and appealing I would like to see more of these types of films. I love intriguing chase movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute romantic comedy with Louis Jordan , December 17, 2004
By K. J. Blake "Super Reader" (Phoenix,AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tim Daly sports a very Magnum PI mustache and Penelope Ann Miller is an adorable frumpy ragamuffin in this romantic comedy adventure tale. I love Louis Jordan as the youth obsessed scientist determined to get his youth formula at any cost. Has some elements found in the Cary Grant Ginger Rogers classic Moneky Business- this is one of my personal favorite comedies from the 90s. Seldom seen on TV and hard to find on VHS I bought a copy several years back- this is one I want to upgrade to DVD- come on studio!

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Romancing the stone of the '90s!", August 4, 2002
By "dawmar2" (Calgary, AB Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Year of the Comet [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is one of the best movies out there that has been overlooked by many people. It is a story of an apprentice wine-merchant,(Penelope Ann Miller), who discovers a bottle of wine that belonged to Napoleon called "The Year Of The Comet". The adventure starts when the bottle gets stollen and they have to chase after it.

This movie has been compared to Romancing the stone, and I think that is a fare comparison. If you buy this movie, you will love it.
