one from the heart ( 4 outta 5 star ) don not read too much into the 4 star rating i give this movie . it be not an easy movie to like . there be so much wrong with it ( bland and dislikable lead character and poor dialogue and over stylized set ) but it mean well . and there be also a lot of thing that do work ( tom wait music and the young and sexy raul julia and nastassia kinski and the airport scene ) . frederic forrest and teri garr play the two long time partner . both kind of bore with the other and wish for something new and excite in their life . over the course of a day they break up and meet a fascinating new person and have a one night stand and then come to realize what they want most in life . not much of a plot and be it . how much you like this movie will be pretty much determine by how much you like tom wait music . which be hear throughout . he and crystal gayle sing slow and romantic ballad which give the movie the feel of a longggggggggg music video . ( one the new dvd edition you can watch the movie listening to a music only track . and and honestly and it probably well that way . ) forrest and garr be kind of hard to accept a romantic lead . they both seem a little too bland and ordinary ( which be the director intention ) . but also come across a too unlikable represent garr be a whiny shrew and forrest be a macho jerk . again and it be the director intention that they be real people so he want to portray them with wart and all . unfortunately he do not seem to give audience enough reason to like these people . if raul julia and nastassia kinski have be the main character the movie may have be more successful . i think that main problem with this movie be that director francis ford coppola put too much think into what be suppose to be a movie heavy on emotion . it do seem a little cold and distancing at time . technically perfect . but not fully satisfy a a story . still and i have see it about ten time . and i do not think think coppola have make a good movie since .
