Who hasn't walked into a movie late and tried desperately to catch up with the plot, to make sense of what's on the screen? For those not washed in the blood, that's what it's like to watch "The X-Files" movie. Except instead of being only momentarily ...read the complete Bed of Roses movie review at MovieEye.com (David Litton)

While Bed of Roses lacks the freshness of When Harry Met Sally and the smart sensuality of Before Sunrise, it nevertheless possesses enough intelligence and energy to lift it into the upper echelon of "traditional" modern romances. And, with so many of to ...read the complete Bed of Roses movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

That Cow (Andrew Bradford)
The characters in Bed of Roses are good, well-acted, deeply felt, but that isn't always enough. There has to be a reason for us to care. This is often the hardest thing to get across to an audience - there isn't even necessarily a formula (if ...read the complete Bed of Roses movie review at That Cow (Andrew Bradford)

Bed of Roses is a rather idealistic romance that suffers from its overabundant perfection. Mary Stuart Masterson is Lisa, an overworked and underloved woman. She meets her ideal man in Lewis King (Christian Slater), a florist. Lewis happens to be the ...read the complete Bed of Roses movie review at Cinematter (Matt Williams)

Lisa is a successful but sad and young new VP at a Manhattan company. She has a mysterious and troubled childhood which has prevented her from ever falling in love. Her "boyfriend" Danny (Josh Brolin) is just that, a friend. They are intimate, but she ...read the complete Bed of Roses movie review at Steve Rhodes

This is one of my all time favorite movies. A wonderful Valentine's Day or Christmas gift. Share watching with your girlfriends. I like to view it again when I need a lift of spirits. Loan it to a friend who could use the same. Maybe "Bed Of Roses" could ...

This is the only movie I've ever watched and rewound and watched again. I might actually be able to recite it. ...

What does the 'editorial review' mean by saying 'bed of nails'? No way is that true. I really liked this movie. It is a feel good movie that I really enjoyed. Christian Slater is wonderful and sweet and very enjoyable to watch. Masterson was great ...

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 ...

This makes a great date movie and is considered a "chick flick," however, it has a message for many young adults with troubled family history. No matter how horrible your family background/upbringing may have been....you can find love and feel deserving ...

I'm probably just like you. I enjoy ...

I refuse to respond to some of the earlier reviews that said this movie lost all credibility when it portrayed Slater as heterosexshual male florist. That's just ridiculous people! My Uncle Arthur has been a florist for many years and he couldn't not be ...
