Movie Reviews of Bed of Roses

Movie Review: Romantic movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Its a beautiful story, Para alguien a quien le han herido y debe darse la oportunidad de amar...que no siempre es una cama de rosas...

Movie Review: Feel good movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Good plot. Used real life issues. All actors were great. Great ending!

Movie Review: A First Time for Love
Summary: 3 Stars

Christian Slater and MAry Stuart Masterson both shine in this movie. Even though this is the same stroy line in many love stories like Sleepless in Seattle. This movie does prove that love does conquer all.

Movie Review: blah, predictable story, lackluster cast
Summary: 2 Stars

I am a sucker for a good romantic comedy and thought I'd enjoy this. What I realized is that it has to have something pleasant to focus on, since the scripts are all predictable. I've sat through many with Meg Ryan because she is adorable. Mary Stuart Masterson is not, even though she shuffles, flatfooted in baggy pants the way that Ryan does. With Ryan the shtick is very cute because she is basically charming and beautiful...even if it does seem like it was stolen from Diane Keaton.

The most interesting thing about Mary Stuart Masterson is her name. Perhaps she's a fine actress and does well in more serious roles. But in this,a love story, she fails. Christian Slater is better but even his down-and-out personal seems awfully fake.

I watched it for about 40 minutes and turned it off.

Movie Review: Bed of Neuroses
Summary: 1 Stars

Wow, is this a rotten movie--it is so sickeningly sweet that it will require toothbrushing after watching it. I give it one star for the presence of Mary Stuart Masterson, whom I've always liked. But it never gets past the leaden load of sentimentality that weighs it down throughout. Slater's character is a nice (if rather obsessive) guy, and Masterson's Lisa Walker is a bland professional, and, of course, they (eventually) fall in love without much thrown in their way beyond some mournful navelgazing in the latter third of the flick.

What really kills this story is the lack of any real conflict; the writer likes the characters way too much, so nothing very interesting happens to them. It's the Village of the Nice, Lonely People. I would have liked it better if Walker's world-weary, not-very-quirky "quirky single friend" (I can't even remember her name) was the one who actually sent the flowers, because she was secretly in love with Walker, who doesn't even realize it. Then there'd at least be a bizarre love triangle to add some interest, between Friend and Slater and Masterson.

As good an example as any for why movies should have strong conflicts and strong characters, instead of wishy-washy blandness soaked in syrupy sentimentality. Remember your toothbrushes!
