Bed of Roses (1996)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

When you cast Christian Slater in a part where he sends flowers to a complete stranger you never know what you're going get. It's not like he hasn't played off balance people before. And some might consider what he does to Mary Stuart Masterson as stalking.But Slater and Masterson make a fetching romantic couple in Bed Of Roses as a pair of lonely people looking for something or someone to complete them as a line in another film done in late 90s said. Slater has never been this romantic before or since on the big screen. Parts like he had in Kuffs, Pump Up The Volume, and Heathers are more like what he's identified with.Slater in fact was once in Masterson's world, he was a runner with Goldman&Sachs who lost a wife and child in childbirth. After that he just dropped out of it all and became a florist delivery man because flowers are beautiful and everyone is happy to see him when he delivers.Masterson is in that world now, but all she has is work. She was a foundling who was left at the Pittsburgh airport and raised in a foster home with a man who drank considerably and its hinted he may have done other terrible things to her. She has no romantic illusions, she does have work though and the world of high finance demands her attention completely.Bed Of Roses is a good, but not great film. It's lack of development of supporting characters is a big weakness. Still it's the definition of a star vehicle and the stars do shine in this one.

let's value it.entertainment: a trashy script which has been typed by unintelligent people in front of typewriters a thousand times.. pathetic acting that is thwarted by the story...OK production value, including good set/location and gorgeous girl.. -rating 4/10 social message: the movie has no social message. it's thought free... .but if I pretend I were 10, and my IQ were 70. I feel the message is:don't be afraid to love? -rating 0/10objectionable things: nothing special, just the mild Jewish hedonic and arrogant attitude that is presented by the writer/director. generally speaking, good , nothing degenerate -8/10overall rating is 4/10

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.

Likable enough romantic comedy starring Christian Slater as the perfect catch--a man who runs a flower store and sends his lover roses. I originally saw this on a flight from the UK to the US and so I don't remember much--but the ladies will love this and the men might get one or two chuckles in.** 1/2 out of *****
