Natural Born Romantic

Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2015)

Something compelled me to revisit this film 20 years after I saw it once before. I remember thinking it was just "okay" before, but every one of my friends thought it was one of the best movies they've seen. I always meant to watch this again as I thought I might have been wrong with my initial viewing and everyone else's praise of it.
My thoughtsremain the same. It's just okay. The script and Christian Slater remain the best parts of this film. It was interesting from a layman's point of view. Not as wild or inventive as Quentin Tarantino's future scripts, but definitely acceptable.
Strange how we can root for the bad guy, as we did here. They're not perfect, or completely good/bad to put in the plus column, but still we wanted these newlyweds to succeed.
An all-star cast, perfect for movie lovers to jizz over, they do what they needed to in their roles. Unforgettable? Not really, but fun to watch as the amateur crime drama unfolds. Recommended for 90s crime-movie-lovers.
