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

Normally I don't touch romantic films cause they nauseate me with sentimental drivel, but "Untamed Heart" touched my heart deeply. Aside from really schmaltzy moments and dialogue throughout the film, the film's heart is in the right place with its leading man and lady. Marisa Tomei is quirky and unlucky in love Caroline who almost gives up on men after she is nearly raped by two diner patrons. Her mind is changed after she slowly gets to know shy busboy, Adam, and the two fall in love over the course of the film. Christian Slater as Adam is one of his more gentler roles where he rarely speaks, which nearly drove me waiting for him to actually speak. He is gentle, tender and so painfully shy you just want to hug him. By the close of the movie, I collapsed in tears at the tragic conclusion, wanting to comfort Marisa Tomei's Caroline in her grief. A underrated treasure that is enjoyable and bring the tissues!

Caroline (Marisa Tomei) has her heart broken yet again. Adam (Christian Slater) is the introverted silent busboy working in the same diner. Then one night, she's harassed by a couple of guys and Adam comes to her rescue. Adam is an orphan who was told by a nun that he has a baboon heart. They fall in love. The two guys come back to attack Adam and in the hospital, he's told that his damaged heart needs a transplant.This is romance at its most melodramatic. Marisa Tomei is a master at making googly eyes. She has the giggle and the sweetness. Christian Slater is going mostly for the quiet type. They make an appealing couple. The story hits all the girlie fantasy about a silent broody guy who rescues the damsel in distress. And he needs her in return. "You are my peace." It doesn't get more melodramatic than that.

UNTAMED HEART tells the story of the romance between a lovelorn diner waitress (Tomei) and shy busboy (Slater). It is a sad, sweet movie without the usual gloss and pretension that ruin so many filmed love stories. These are working class people living working class lives. Tomei is touching as a woman who has been hurt once too often but who still holds out hope. Slater gives one of his best performances as the virtually mute busboy with both social and health problems. A heart-tugging vignette at the very beginning, involving the busboy as child in a Catholic orphanage, foreshadows later events in the film. Slater underplays beautifully, and thankfully so as this is Tomei's film all the way. She never looked more beautiful than she does here. Watch for the Christmas morning scene. Tomei wakes up to a special magic thanks to her busboy pal, and magnificently conveys her sense of wonder. Beware, however: UNTAMED HEART (BOY WITH A BABOON HEART would have been a better title) is a two-box of Kleenex.
