Review of Heavy

Heavy (1995)
6/10
Pruitt Taylor Vince and Liv Tyler..the Romance that never was, but intimated could have been
17 December 1999
Warning: Spoilers
This is a pleasantly suprising movie that concentrates on the relationships that exist between for central characters that work at a Diner.

Pruuitt Taylor Vince is excellent as Victor the simple son of Dolly (Shelley Winters). One really feels for his character as the movie progresses, particulary with how he struggles to come to grips with his mother's death. Liv Tyler (Callie) is something special, she has a sweet innocence and beauty that makes her character so vulnerable and likeable. The movie hints at the possibility of romance between Callie and Victor, but it never does eventuate.

Debbie Harry is perfect for the role of Delores, the slutty waitress who despises just about everything, particularly Callie.

It's not a blockbuster by any stretch, but its pleasantly suprising without being to HEAVY.
