Tim
2009-01-18 - Based on the book by the author of The Thorn Birds, this is a gem of a movie. I hadn't been able to find it in any format for many years and now it is on DVD. It is totally worth the price. A sweet love story and it's one of Mel Gibson's first roles. I don't think you will be sorry if you purchase it. Indulge yourself...I did!!

"Tim" ?
2009-01-16 - "Tim"is a movie about a young, handsome mentally challanged young man who falls in love with an older woman as a result of a chance metting. It is supposed to be sweet and touching and fails miserably to be either. I had to ask myself what audience the wardrobe department was trying to target, women or The Village People? Even the sound track is insipid. Mel Gibson was obviously being tauted as eye candy for some target audience.

Undiscovered Mel Gibson in Romantic Sleeper
2008-11-15 - One of Mel Gibson's earliest films, "Tim" has been overlooked by most Mel Gibson fans. Gibson plays a young, mentally challenged Australian in a romantic relationship with an older, American business executive (Piper Laurie). A youthful Mel Gibson shows his talent to create believable characters and make us forget he's acting.

The film examines the theme of star-crossed lovers in the context of age, mental capacity, and social acceptance. The emotional tide of Tim's family, his lover, and their peers pulls at our heart-strings, and forces a sometimes uncomfortable self-examination of how we judge others and how we may define "love."

This movie is a great, romantic tear-jerker. The slower pace and gritty texture of early Australian cinema may deter some viewers, but the fresh story-line alone makes this movie well worth watching.

You'll like this movie if:
You liked Kevin Costner's "Message in a Bottle," and enjoyed Mel Gibson in "Man Without A Face" and "What Women Want."

You'll be disappointed if:
You're expecting a light, romantic comedy like "What Women Want," or the action of "The Road Warrior."


The miracle of love!
2008-09-27 - It was one of the first films of Mel Gibson's career, from 1979, year of the first "Mad Max". Surprisingly, "TIM" is of a totally different genre. Based on Colleen McCullough's first novel, this tender story is about a backward young man who performs general services in the house of a wealthy but lonely middle-aged woman. Little by little, they form a close relationship which later changes to a pure and unselfish love. There are several events which try to weaken this love, mostly due to a Tim's family relative's behaviour . Mel Gibson did a great job, and is sooo handsome in his youth! Piper Laurie also is wonderful as the quiet and older woman who learns to be happier and believe in love with the invaluable presence of Tim in her life.
