Summary: Sad But I love it
Review: This movie is such a good movie.its those kinds of movies where u see it and u cry then u think about it and u cry.I think what really nice is how he just opened up and told her how he felt and did all these really nice things for her just to see her happy.My favorite part is when she finds the christimas tree in her bedroom. Christian Slater plays such a heart touching person in this movie.... I really cant put into words how this movie is such a great movie. Its my frist romance movie that i loved and i can watch over and over and never ever get tired of it...... I LOVE IT.

Summary: Great movie for romantics and fans of good acting.
Review: This movie was a great movie in more than one way. It was an excellent love story and the acting was superb. Even if you are not a love story fan, you should rent this movie and pay particular attention to the acting, you won't be disappointed. The star of the movie, Marisa Tomei, falls in love with a dying man, Christian Slater, and then he dies. The End, great movie.

Summary: Please pass me the barf bag!
Review: This was one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. Onlyair-headed women could fall for something so saccharine andsuperficial. The ending was so dumb that I'm surprised Slater actually accepted such a role. (Not to mention the fact that Adam was able to maintain a super-clean shave throughout the whole movie, despite the fact that he's living in a rat hole under some bridge.)And ladies, please! If you want a dream guy in your life, how about behaving like a dream lady yourself? (I.e., not sleeping with the jocks and thick-neck brutes, maintaining your virginity, having a little class, not cursing all the time, etc.)

Summary: This movie stands out - a league of its own
Review: Turst me - its a great movie - i have seen it 7 times and I am still looking for a DVD version of it to store permanently. The innocence of Adam- his sincerity - how genuine he is - really makes your heart melt - someday I hope to met a guy like him too. but the issues inthe movie - its great how two people bring out the best in each other - gives us hope - helps us to continue believing - and yes, i cried too! you really must watch this!

Summary: "Magic records and a baboon heart...."
Review: Untamed Heart stars Christian Slater, Marisa Tomei, and Rosie Perez. All three work in a diner where Slater is a busboy, while Tomei and Perez play waitresses. Tomei plays Caroline, and is kind of a ditzy girl, but very sweet. Seems she has a problem with the boys she goes out with, in that they don't treat her particularly well, cheating on her and such. Perez plays Cindy, the more streetwise friend who tries to help Caroline out when she can, setting her up on dates, and commiserating with her when things go poorly. Slater plays Adam, a quiet and shy person who has a crush on Caroline. Cindy thinks Adam is mentally disabled, since he very rarely says two words, but Caroline sees him a little different, with more of an understanding attitude, but not as a romantic interest, at least at the beginning of the movie. As the movie progresses, we see Adam saving Caroline from a particularly nasty situation when she is attacked by two men on her way home from work one night. When she finds out it was Adam that saved her and cared for her, she begins to look beneath the surface at Adam, and finds more than she expected. She learns of his feelings for her, and they develop a relationship, and fall in love. Actually, Adam has always been in love with Caroline, so it's just Caroline who comes around feeling for Adam what he feels for her. In getting to know Adam, Caroline learns that Adam was an orphan with a weak heart, and the nuns in the orphanage gave him some story about him having a baboon heart, which he still believed to this day. Their relationship is very sweet, as we see Adam's unrequited love fulfill, and Caroline finds someone who treats her the way she should be treated, the way anybody should be treated, with love, caring, thoughtfulness, and respect. Well, things are going really well, until the two guys that attacked Caroline and were subsequently beat up by Adam show up again and are looking for revenge on Adam. I don't want to go any further, as that would spoil things for someone who hasn't seen this yet, but I really liked how this movie ended. I guess one of the reasons I like this movie so much is I could kind of identify with Slater's character, being awkward and shy myself in school. I know how it was to have a deep crush on someone, and yet not be able to bring yourself to tell that person how you feel. Sometimes it can be difficult to keep that kind of thing inside, but then if you let it out, there is a good chance that you may spoil the fantasy with the harsh reality. There were one or two points in the movie when I did tear up a little, and that doesn't happen often for me while watching movies (Old Yeller, Pride of the Yankees, Goodbye Mr. Chips). Slater plays his character well, and Tomei is incredibly cute and seems to pull off the sort of ditzy, but sweet and caring girl quite well. Perez also does a good job in her role. A sweet and sappy movie, for sure, but very watchable. Not much with regards to special features, but you do get an excellent wide screen presentation.

Summary: Great love story
Review: Untamed Heart,starring Marisa Tomei and Christian Slater,is one of the best love stories I've ever seen,and one of the saddest.Tomei stars as Caroline(who,even though I know she's a fictitious character,I absolutely fell in love with while watching this movie),a young woman who has been hurt in her relationships.Slater stars as Adam,the shy busboy with a bad heart,who works at the same diner as Caroline,and has loved her from afar.They're brought together,when Adam saves Caroline from two would-be rapists on the way home from work one night.But,later Caroline's assailants stab Adam in the stomach,and while he was in the hospital,Caroline learns that he needs a heart transplant very badly.He refuses,and seems okay for a while and they're love blossoms even further,and when things seem to be going great for Caroline and Adam,he dies on his birthday on the way home from a hockey game.Both Tomei and Slater give Oscar caliber performances,and Rosie Perez is very good as Caroline's best friend Cindy.The musical score by Cliff Eidelmann is very good,and adds to the film a lot.Overall,while probably not for everyone,this is a very good movie which I like a lot.

Summary: christian slater's character is amazing.....
Review: untames heart has to be one of the best romantic movies i ever saw. i remember i was pre-teen and my sister was dying to see this movie with her friend. because i was not really old enough to really understand the whole love story and ending, i was not really intrested untamed heart. but after a few years later of growing up, i really understood the whole movie. christian slater's character is a sweet and romantic character. and i loved how his character was thoughful and did the little things that most guys do not do. he was procetive, romantic and inlove with a girl he barely talked to. i loved this movie, because it's an amazing romamce drama.

Summary: Pathetic - this movie deserves a negative rating!
Review: What little plot there is, is completely unbelievable. The acting is sophmoric. A baboon's heart - COME ON! We are given nothing to understand the "deep love" between these characters. There was no emotion or romance here - at least nothing from Marisa Tomei as her acting was completely wooden. If you haven't seen this movie, don't waste your time. There are plenty of great movies out there that convey a memorable story. Try "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", as the story of a (believable) relationship and how it changes over time - with real romance and emotion. Now, if there were only a way to give Untamed Heart a negative rating!
