Starring Mary Stuart Masterson and Christian Slater. Amazon.com: 'Bed of Nails' would have been a better title for this romance, an excruciating exercise that brings out all the worst in the genre. Christian Slater's performance is the high point of this flick, but his character is so obvious that even his subtle skills ultimately makes little difference. Slater plays Lewis, a florist who looks up one night during one of his habitual nocturnal walks and spies Mary Stuart Masterson weeping in a window. The next day he follows her to work and delivers a gorgeous arrangement of posies, leaving her guessing as to the identity of her secret admirer. We must wonder why Lewis pursues her with abandon, as Masterson's character Lisa seems nothing but a dull workaholic. Well, okay, she's also neurotic. First-time director-writer Michael Goldenberg's lopsided script lets us see the psychic damage harbored by both of the main characters, but doesn't make Lisa interesting enough to warrant all the attention heaped upon her, whereas Lewis is a model of perfection. Goldenberg often slips and slides over many details in the story. Since the dialogue is not particularly witty or meaningful, and the plot has pretty much withered by the second reel, there isn't much left on the screen to enjoy. --Rochelle O'Gorman Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - MOVIE: Bed Of Roses (A different side of Christian Slater). MOVIE: BED OF ROSES, starring both Christian Slater and Mary Stuart Masterson was a wonderful romantic movie which shows that actor Christian Slater does have a romantic side to his well known "tough guy, attention seeker" character. It was unfortunate that in this movie there was one part regarding Christian inviting Mary to his parent's home for Thanksgiving was deleted in this movie version; however, outside of this sad part missed, all other parts were intact.

Reasonable price A+ Rating: - Romantic movie 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... Rating: - Bed of Roses This is one of my favorite movies! I love romantic movies. And the ending is wonderful! Rating: - Bed of Roses I have never been a huge fan of Christian Slater, but this movie changed my opinion of him. He stars in this charming, heartwarming drama with Mary Stuart Masterson. Christian plays Lewis, a florist that has pretty much dropped out of life. Mary plays Lisa, an executive that does nothing but work. On the surface it doesn't appear they have much in common, but we later learn that he used to be in the fast track until fate robbed him of his family. They are both broken people that hope to heal each ... Read More see more
