Summary: touching story
Review: so romantic,but can't happy ending the good man like Adam

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet Little Love Story
Review: Sure we've seen Christian Slater in the rough movies, sure Marisa Tomei has been the pseudo-sophisticated, gum cracking chick in My Cousin Vinny; and of course Rosie Perez bit off juicier movie roles in White Men Can't Jump and Fearless. But here each actor is completely out of character [but in a great departure from their usual parts] in their portrayals of small town young people struggling to make a living (and an impact somehow in their own lives). There's one disturbing scene of abuse, but otherwise Untamed Heart is a sensitive, gentle love story with genuine performances by talented actors. It will touch you and make you both laugh and cry.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not bad
Review: The reason that I think this movie is not bad yet I only gave it 2 stars is cause I rated another movie that I liked better with 3 stars. Anyway. It was good but my complaints are #1: Christian Slater's haircut in the beggining. Whats with those little pieces in the back?!(I know that is not important but who cares) #2: The pace was very, very, very SLOW!!!!!! and #3: I don't think that Marisa Tomei did a very good job. Otherwiese it was interesting and sad. I think the only thing that saved me from not liking this movie is the fact that I am a die hard romantic. And I mean DIE-HARD romantic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most touching love story I've ever seen
Review: There is a certain chemistry between these two very different characters, who find true and lasting love. Both Adam and Caroline (Slater and Tomei) touched my heart deeply with their performances. This is a must see, for men and women.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ROMANTIC...POIGNANT...HEARTBREAKING...
Review: This film is an unlikely romance that works on many levels. Deftly directed by Tony Bill who shows a penchant for handling delicate sentiments as if they were gossamer threads, this film is truly one of the most romantic that I have seen. That this is so, despite the fact that many of the most romantic moments take place in a downtown Minneapolis diner, a dingy basement apartment, the front porch of a house in a blue collar, working class neighborhood, or in an old dilapidated clunker of a car, is a testament to the ability of the director.

Marisa Tomei is luminous as Caroline, the Minneapolis waitress with self-esteem problems who looks for love in all the wrong places, before finding it right where she works. She imbues Caroline with just the right measure of street smarts, working class edge, and little girl vulnerability. She is a needy, though nice, young woman who desperately wants to love and be loved. Unfortunately, the guys she meets tend to treat her as a one night stand. Sensitive and romantic Adam, the reticent and quirky busboy who works the night shift with Caroline, is just what the doctor ordered.

As Adam, Caroline's veritable knight in shining armor, Christian Slater gives his best performance ever. An orphan with a disability that he cloaks with an intriguing story, Adam is a true romantic hero. His quiet sincerity, delicate sensibilities, and apparent contentment in worshipping from afar touch Caroline, tugging at her heart strings. You see, he treats her as if she were a princess rather than as a strumpet. Christian Slater's sensitive and moving performance in a difficult role strikes just the right note. I would bet that nearly every woman who watches this film succumbs to his charms and finds herself half falling in love with him.

The film seems to tell the viewer that once one has love in one's grasp, hold it tightly, as one never knows what the fates may have in store. Though the ending may be somewhat predictable, it will not stop the viewer from needing a hanky. This is a wonderful film that will greatly appeal to those viewers with a romantic streak in their hearts. Beautifully directed and with superlative performances by Marissa Tomei and Christian Slater, it is a film that merits being in one's personal collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best romantic film ever
Review: This film is brilliant, if you arent weepy by da end of the film then u aint human. Christian Slater is a brilliant actor who plays an unsociable man with a heart condition, who works in a cafe, called Adam.
Wont tell ya what happens but take my word for it, its worth watchin. Its probably more for women than men, But still brilliant on da whole.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One my least favorite movies of all time.
Review: This is one of the few movies that I actively despise. I would recommend it for Mystery Science Theatre 3000. The plot is implausible and shallow, as well as predictable.. when I saw it on a date, we had lots of fun correctly guessing just about every major event that happened in the whole movie. Marisa Tomei's performance is painfully awful, and the character she is trying to play is an airhead, with NO interesting qualities whatsoever. Slater's acting is even worse, if that's possible, and his character is even more superficial and basically just ridiculous.. the tall, dark and silent (sorry, MUTE) type with the heart of a beast (a BABOON, to be more specific).. give me a break! Maybe a plot like that could have been saved by some excellent acting, but that didn't happen here. I'm a hopeless romantic, and I will willingly suspend my disbelief in the name of love or a decent story. But this movie has no intelligence, no depth, no character, absolutely nothing to redeem it. If you want to see a GOOD romantic movie, I recommend Cinema Paradiso, Random Harvest, Say Anything, You've Got Mail, Now Voyager, A Walk in the Clouds..!! Anything but this!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OMG! THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST LOVE STORY EVER!
Review: THIS IS THE BEST LOVE STORY EVER MADE IN HOLLYWOOD. WITHOUT A DOUBT,I AGREE THAT CHRISTIAN SLATER AND MARISA TOMEI MAKE A GREAT COUPLE ON SCREEN. THEY HAVE GREAT CHEMISTRY ON THE SET AND IN THE MOVIE. THIS MOVIE DEFINITELY DESERVES 5 STARS, AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR BEST SONG/MOVIE/ACTOR, ETC., BECAUSE ALL THREE WERE EXCELLENT IN THE MOVIE(AND SAME WITH EVERYTHING ELSE). I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE MUSIC AND MY FAVES WERE THE WHOLE SOUNDTRACK AND LIST OF SONGS. TO THOSE WHO TRASHED THIS MOVIE, WELL, I DON'T KNOE WHAT TO SAY TO THEM. I JUST THINK THAT THIS MOVIE WAS THE BEST AND WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY THAT I SPENT TO RENT AND BUY IT. FOR ONCE, IT WAS GOOD SEEING A GREAT LOVE STORY WITH FANTASTIC PERFORMANCES BY THE ACTORS/ACTRESSES AND MUSIC/FILM PRODUCERS. TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, WATCH IT!!!!! IT'LL BE WORTH YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY!(AND GIVE YOU A GOOD CRY IF YOU REALLY NEED IT!):)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Typical romantic movie showcases two actors
Review: This isn't a BAD movie per se, but it isn't great. Yes, it will make you cry. The premise is somewhat contrived. Marissa is so adorable though, how can you resist her? And Christian does a great job here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love it!!
Review: This movie is sooo good. It is touching amd trust me you will cry! My best friend and I watched it back when it first came out and we couldn't stop crying. It's just a sweet movie.
