Review

~Eat Your Heart Out~ (1997) stars Christian Oliver, Pamela Adlon, and John Craig as three long-time friends who share a loft in LA. Oliver is a talented chef who gives classes at a food supply store, Adlon is a wannabe artist, and Craig is a totally uncouth Neanderthal, who works as a butcher, and everyone likes anyway. Adlon is clearly wanting a relationship with Oliver, but Oliver goes through one woman after another looking for Miss right. Up to this point, the film had the feel of one of those pilots where they introduce a bunch of quirky characters that you fall in love with, and just know the series will be great. Unfortunately, as the story progresses, events take over, and what could have become a great character driven comedy turns into a set of romantic cliches. What a waste of a great start, and a wonderful supporting cast which included Laura San Giacomo and Linda Hunt. Oliver lands a TV cooking show, where he talks to female viewers as he cooks, and lets fame and fortune go to his head. As near as I can tell, it was a German film, and there are no English language reviews. The film had me hooked at the 10 minute mark, then seriously lost its way, degenerating into a predictable romantic comedy. C-. Nudity Report: Adlon shows one breast near the beginning of the film when Craig peeks at her dressing. IMDB Summary: IMDb readers have it at 6.0 of 10. Written by: Tuna …courtesy of Scoopy.net
