I saw this movie on a premium channel after it's intiail run in 93 and was moved to tears by it...I'm normally not one for chick-flicks either, but this one really struck a chord with me.
This was right after Marisa Tomei was cast in 'My Cousin Vinny' and the chemistry between Tomei and Slater is, for lack of a better term, electric. It doesn't hurt that Tomei is a gorgeous actress, but the look she has makes her seem so approachable. Slater pulled off what other actors couldn't; he made a character who was dark and mysterious play at your heart and make you root for him.
I've seen a lot of reviews of this movie that were in the negative; I can understand some points the reviewers made...lesser actors could have ruined this movie, but Tomei and Slater here are, simply put, pure magic.
