Untamed Heart (PG-13) 6.0

Untamed Heart (1993): Caroline has not had much luck in love. Boyfriends seem to either leave her or cheat on her. Then she meets a shy, introverted man at work named Adam. (6.6)

Director: Tony Bill
Stars: Christian Slater, Marisa Tomei and Rosie Perez

Originally, I was going to give a high score for this movie simply because Marisa Tomei looks good. But the story doesn't have a hell of a lot in it. The story can be summed up as "Girl meets boy. They fall in love. Tragedy strikes." (That's the summary line in IMDB.) At least, Rosie Perez has her chipmunk voice under control, most of the time. I guess, the character development at the beginning was all wrong; Tomei's character doesn't earn the audiences' sympathy enough. But her acting was pretty good. Story had potential; needed something more. My Rating: 6.0
