SnoopyStyle Investment broker Lisa Walker (Mary Stuart Masterson) is sad. After her foster father Stanley's death, she breaks down at home. She was abandoned as a baby. Her foster mother died early on and Stanley was an uncaring drunk. Danny (Josh Brolin) is her inattentive boyfriend. Kim (Pamela Adlon) is her best and only friend. Lewis Farrell (Christian Slater) delivers flowers to her. He's a shy florist who also suffered losses. At first, he's unwilling to tell her the anonymous sender. He finally reveals that he sent the flowers after seeing her crying through her window.This is a sappy romance but not much of a tear jerker. It's romanticism without any pretense of being more. Masterson and Slater are an appealing photogenic couple. Most importantly, one really likes both characters because of the actors. The story is not overly dramatic. It's certainly not great cinema. However, it is romantic for those open to it.
Johanna I kind of love romantic comedy's because they're easy to watch and they'll always turn out to be what you expected them to be.This movie had the same 'contents' as all romantic movies do. Two people meet each other in a way people will never meet. She's hard to get, but he is so romantic, she falls for him. They turn out to be perfect for each other, but she's not telling something important. They fight. They get back together. They live happily ever after. But it turned out to be quite different than all the other movies at the same time. Actually, I think the storyline is really boring. It's just not complete. They both have difficult backgrounds, but those story's are just 'put in to the movie', without expanding them. It's like pieces of a puzzle which are put in the right order, but they're not actually put together.So, its kind of a boring story, but it really intrigued me at the same time. I think it's because of the actors, like people in other reviews have said. They make the boring characters alive. And maybe it's because they talk really little, in my opinion. And their faces tell the story. So I actually loved watching this movie, just in a whole different way than I expected at first.Maybe you don't understand what I mean, but then you have to watch the movie. Just don't expect a regular romantic comedy.
highschoolteen Bed of roses was an excellent movie. after watching it I literally cried MSM and CS make a perfect couple in the movie.SPOILER: although i think its awkward that CS walks nights looking into people's windows, creepy. it is cute that he's sort of like a secret admirer. he sends her roses after seeing her crying in her window (how cute). after they kiss and she shreds the flowers she goes back to him and he talks about his dead wife. well anyways if any of you love romantic comedy's than you should get Bed Of Roses, its a great movie. Spoiler: at first i thought Bed of Roses was going to be weird but obviously I was wrong. i really like the fact that MSM has a Tazer (you need your protection) its funny that she carries it in her purse. believe me you'll love this movie.
caroline-fawcett A love story with a difference, Christian Slater and Mary Stuart Masterton play 2 lonely people that find each other. Christian is a bit of a stalker but he gets away with it where most people would not!!!. Is it not just a little bit creepy for a guy that you have never met before to know where you work and where you live and send you flowers!!! Also walking past your house at nice is a bit out of order. In this day and age he would have probably been arrested or served with a restraining order. Christian is so sweet as Lewis the Florist that you could forgive him anything. This is a totally lovely and feel good film and the ending is just how you wish your life could be.
