BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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.

socalcarli I've tried to like this film, really. In watching it, all I can think is, "This guy gives me the creeps, I would have gotten a restraining order". It also calls out CODEPENDENCE in capital letters. Was this really the conversation before making the movie? "Let's make a film that puts two chronically depressed, socially inept people into a relationship which deepens their isolation and encourages them to complain about how bad their lives are!" From what I've seen in life is that the last thing on earth we find attractive in a potential mate is constant self-pity. The mood of the movie is distinctly 80-ish; brooding and slow. Don't get me wrong, the film has its moments, just very few of them.

George Attwood BED OF ROSES **** Writer-director Michael Goldenberg creates a nice little love story that plays well in the hands of Christian Slater and Mary Stuart Masterson, cast as two emotionally damaged characters stumbling their way into a relationship. He delivers flowers because he enjoys bringing pleasure into stranger's lives. When he crosses paths with a hard-working career woman, he may be able to give more than one short greeting with his plant delivery to her. Them drawing together somewhat changes her archetype of lifestyle - something that adds depth to their relationship. It's slow paced yet never loses touch on the effects one's hurting past can have on present events.

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.
