Movie Review: Touching Love Story For Those Who Enjoy Old Style Romance
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are like me and love both romance and beautiful flowers and believe that somehow the two should always really go together then the low profile and little talked about love story "Bed of Roses", is an essential viewing experience. Starring a perfectly teamed Christian Slater and Mary Stuart Masterton as two seemingly ill matched individuals who find love together and learn alot about themselves in the process this drama could be seen by the cynical in this day an age as being hopelessly "old fashioned". However its charm and especially its very definite message of excepting people with all their faults and weaknesses as the unique individuals they are is truly timeless. Often dismissed as simply another "chick flick" (God I hate that term!) this is one of my favourite "romance" dramas that is ideal for members of both sexes and I find a viewing of it tends to revitalise the spirit and renew hope that real love does exist out there. Visually it is a beautiful looking film ideal for watching with a special someone containing as it does numerous shots of the most beautiful flowers imaginable and many interesting shots of New York during the Christmas season sure to create a good feeling in those watching.Movie Review: A Cute, Sweet Bit of Fluff
Summary: 4 Stars
Some movies are sweeping, powerful works of art that make huge statements about life, death, and the human condition.This is not one of those movies.
However, it is a gentle, sweet look at a romance that will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Christian Slater is a soulful, wounded florist who's looking for a second chance at love, and Mary Stuart Masterson is a lonely woman who's terrified when love comes knocking in the form of the almost-obsessive florist who woos her with dozens of Sterling roses. Together, they learn to trust and just "go with the flow."
The script is shallow and sometimes silly, but Slater and Masterson give their characters real depth. There's also a very good supporting performance by Pamela Segall as Masterson's best friend.
This is a sweet, cute, chick-flick (I doubt men will love it). It's absolutely perfect for a "girl's-night in", no matter what the age of the "girls." It's also great for women who have given up their search for their perfect man.

Movie Review: Nice little movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Like others have mentioned, this movie is sweet, sentimental, has a nice soundtrack, and it deals with people scarred by life who find each other. Is it groundbreaking? No. But its value lies in its sweet sentimentality. It's an escapist movie and it makes you feel warm & fuzzy inside. Frankly, with so many dismal movies out there, or movies that show the destructive side of human nature (violence, dysfunction, etc), I don't mind have a movie in my collection that makes me feel good every time I watch it. This film does that. Also, it is a different genre than romantic comedies (e.g., any movie with Meg Ryan in it); there is a little comedy in this film, but its focus is on the healing power that love and companionship offer, which offers its "feel good" punch. Ignore the professional movie critics who were tough on the sentimentality of this film. This is a keeper because it offers a nice escapist, and positive, experience.
