Green Card fuses the template of a light romantic comedy with a classic fish-out-of-water scenario. In order to retain her beautiful rent-controlled Manhattan apartment, a beautiful, socially-conscious American woman (Andie MacDowell) has to be married, so she decides to marry a burly French composer (Gerard Depardieu), who is eager to earn a green card so he can stay and work in America. After the marriage, the couple doesn't live together, but when the government's Immigration agents begin to investigate the pair, they are forced to put up a charade to convince the authorities that they are truly in love. Of course, the charade eventually becomes reality. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

This romantic comedy about a marriage of convenience that slowly turns into a love affair gets a simple but well-executed DVD release.

The original English-language soundtrack has been remixed for playback in Dolby Digital 5.1, while an optional dubbed French track is in Dolby Digital Stereo.
