Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

ShelbyTMItchell Really a very sweet and a very kind movie. As it shows Christian Bale whom everybody predicted to be a big name star but really with the wrong roles he choose prevented that. As Marisa Tomei did not live up to her Oscar winning role in "My Cousin Vinny!" Still really good with Bale playing Adam a simple minded young 26-year old who is shy, works two jobs, and has never talked to anybody after growing up an orphan with nuns. Marisa is the tough talking Caroline who has had her heart broken one too many times by a bunch of losers.Then after two lowlifes try to rape her, Adam who has been quietly watching out for her as she does not know it at the time. But after she realizes it is him, both begin a quiet and silent relationship.That none of her friends know about. As Adam hardly has any friends at all. But still, Adam will only talk to Caroline as he feels Caroline can relate to him.The movie ends on a bitter sweet note. As the supporting cast lead by Rosie Perez adds nice support to it. Not Oscar worthy but a great and sweet movie.

tieman64 Sweet at times, "Untamed Heart" is a largely incredulous romantic drama about a shy guy called Adam (Christian Slater) who falls in love with a cute waitress played by Marisa Tomei.The film is tapping into powerful, primal twin fantasies. Adam is quiet, sexy, strong, and protective, carrying Marisa home, defending her from rapists, showering her with gifts and showing her ceaseless affection. Females in the audience drool when he's on screen.Marisa, meanwhile, is a bundle of sex, walking around in bra and panties, oozing a careful mixture of cuteness, innocence and sexuality and batting her eyelids like a doe-eyed puppy. Guys in the audience drool when she's on screen.Our idealised couple, playing their parts for all the loner's in the world, of course fall in love. They spend Christmas together, kiss, and then Adam dies of a heart condition. From here the film turns into Arthur Hiller's "Love Story". While the film is moody in places, has a number of very good scenes, makes interesting use of a Suzanne Vega song, features an atmospheric, noirish diner, and contains cute performances by Slater and Marisa, its impossible to take a film seriously which randomly resorts to heart conditions and out-of-nowhere rape scenes to cook up drama. This is a film which knows that saving a woman from being attacked (and kicking the attackers butt!) is every male's macho fantasy (and every woman loves a man who will fight for her!), and so literally throws that scene in to bring about its couple's union. Literally.7.5/10 – The "Twilight" of the 90s.

leet24 I saw this movie for the first time a few years after it was made. I watched this movie and totally fell in love with Christian Slater. Yep, it was a tear jerker alright. To describe the movie to someone, it probably sounds corny and you wouldn't think it would be such a great movie. I was surprised how much I DID like it. (but of course, seeing Christian Slater play that part won me over so I'm probably biased there). But no, seriously, I thought it really was a great movie. If I had to list my five all time favourite romance movies, that would be in there, no doubt. I think I've probably seen just about every movie he's been in by now and there's quite a lot of them too.

Troy Pankey Everything about this movie is next to being very, very good! the story itself and how it moves along. The casting is excellent especially in one of my absolute favorites, Marisa Tomei. Christian Slater slips down into character perfectly as you would expect him to. I didn't see who wrote it or adapted it, etc. Or anything else about this movie except for the three main actors in it and the story------several times over again over the years. It's just that good. you can revisit it time and time again. Since I'm keeping critique to a minimum I'll cover the best part of the whole movie. And that is that Marisa Tomei's role as Caroline amongst the other two, C.S., and R.S. shines just enough past them in being what the character is meant to be. The leading character, as well as, the character the story revolves around. She really does a great job making the character very real to you. And Ms. Tomei moves you in different ways throughout the movie. Of course I'm unabashedly bias. Christian Slater matches up really well by virtue of the patience that he shows in every scene and letting the story play out the way it should when an actress has the lead and is leading in a story and with characters like these.
