Schmaltz that wide-eyed teen girls will love.

Awful script, but Tomei, Slater, and especially Rosie Perez are magnificent.

Audience Reviews for Untamed Heart

I loved Slater in this movie, and the whole love story is pretty good for the most part, but then it changes all of a sudden, with the revelation of the whole baboon's heart thing, and it gets weird. I half liked this movie, and half hated it.

"I am going to fall in love with you. You don't have to love me back. I am going to give you my heart."I saw this again after a long time. I remember the film to be a sweet film with a lot of heart. Marisa Tomei has always been a favourite of mine, in my opinion she is one of the most beautiful and talented women ever.

    1. Caroline: [To Adam] Don't let people stand in your way. They're just people. Like you and me! Well, maybe not like you. I don't know if I have ever met anyone like you before.
