Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

seeingbystarlight So admits Lewis Farell (Christian Slater), a flower shop owner who sends an anonymous bouquet to the unhappy, and overworked Lisa Walker (Mary Stuart Masterson), after seeing her one night in a window...her light the only light on a darkened street.Lisa is a dedicated young career woman, who's alone in the world, and so has made her job the center of her sad, and lonely life.Lewis is a widower who lost his wife in child-birth.Lisa's best friend Kim (Pamela Segal) encourages the romance but Lisa is apprehensive... despite the fact that Lewis seems perfect for her.Lewis (not about to take no for an answer), begins sending her flowers every hour on the hour.The story may seem dull, but it's the unfolding of it that makes the story worth watching.It's a reassuring story, not demanding that we laugh or cry but rather that we enjoy it...the way you enjoy the sunset at the end of a hectic day.In other words, it's not a comedy (filled with preposterous situations we're supposed to think are funny). Nor is it a tear-jerker, designed to appeal to our emotions, so that at the end we feel sad, our hearts aching for two people who can never be together.Rather it's a drama without the tragedy: A reminder that good things CAN happen to in this world while, at the same time, keeping human frailty in mind.It's a warm, soothing, madly romantic movie, designed to make us feel comforted rather than exhilarated, and lovely in the soft glow it projects.In an era where illness, and insanity prevail, it's nice to see movie a like this.You can inhale it's fragrance like a gorgeous flower arrangement.Originally, Review #31Posted On: September 30, 2009.

canuckteach The sentiments of my wife and myself are echoed well by many discerning viewers here at IMDb: Slater is great as a wonderful guy who loves people and falls in love with a girl he sees, for the first time, under 'unusual' circumstances (trying not to give anything away here). Masterson is a needy, but accomplished workaholic, who appears to have found the ideal guy. And the movie does have some nice set designs, warm family moments, and music.But, the Script is skimpy in places, particularly at the end!! I mean, my goodness - supposing the plane in 'Casablanca' carrying Rick's long-lost love away forever had to force-land at the Airport. Wouldn't you expect another 15 minutes of story to wrap up the loose ends? lol - supposing Bogart just walks off and says 'This is the beginning of a great friendship' to his policeman friend, and leaves Ilsa staring into the fog? yikes!Well, we couldn't believe in this case that the film was over!! huh? did we get a defective copy of the DVD? 'Sorry - great price on this DVD, but the last chapter of the Script is on Disc 2 (not included).' Actually, it is 'sort' of a happy ending, but I think FilmMaking-101 includes the rule "Don't open up plot points you can't develop and wrap up satisfactorily".6/10 Guys: watch with secure marriage mate, or watch NFL instead!

Amy Adler Lisa (Mary Stuart Masterson) is a rising businesswoman who rarely devotes herself to anything but work and more work. This is, in part, because of events that occurred during her childhood. She has a drop-in boyfriend who doesn't really spend any quality time with her but, Lisa is certain she likes it that way. That is, until the day a gorgeous bouquet of flowers is delivered to her at the office, without a card. Lisa calls friends and work colleagues to try to determine who sent her this gift. No luck. As a last resort, she goes to the florist and begs for information about the giver. She is stunned to learn that the delivery man, Lewis (Christian Slater) is her unknown fan. Lewis tells her about his interest in her and Lisa is cautious, of course. But, over the next few weeks, Lisa and Lewis become closer. Yet, something is wrong. What could it be? This is a quietly beautiful love story. Masterson is pretty and touching as the woman who doesn't know much about love and Slater is wonderful as the florist who learns to open up his heart again, too. The rest of the cast is nice and the script, costumes, sets and production values are very good. If you are drawn to stories of romance, this one should land on your must-see list. It is a bouquet of humor, heartache, and happy endings that will have you floating on air, smiling like crazy.

gospelpicker Bed of Roses is easily one of the best romance movies ever. Even if the movie wasn't as good as it is, the soundtrack alone would make it worth watching. But, the movie itself is wonderful and full of warmth. Bed of Roses has the kind of story you would like to live out for yourself. True, people don't usually meet and fall in love the way Lewis and Lisa do in this movie, but isn't that the purpose of movies and music? The story and characters are as unique as they are addictive. When the movie ended, I found myself wanting more. This is one movie that will stick with you. I dare you to watch it only once.If you enjoyed Bed of Roses, you might also like At First Sight with Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino.
