REVIEW
BED OF ROSES has a basic idea that could compete in the Final Four of “nice.” A gorgeous workaholic career woman (Mary Stuart Masterson) is wooed by an unknown admirer who sends her so many flowers her Manhattan apartment is awash in roses.
The young man (Christian Slater), as nice as his flowers, proves to be an ex-stockbroker who was inspired by tragedy to get out of the rat race and (of course) “smell the roses.” But the heroine resists him, partly because she’s too career driven, but mostly because she was raised in a dysfunctional home and feels unworthy of this “perfect” fellow and his “perfect” love-filled family. It’s as if Cinderella rejects the Prince because she has a rotten self image.
As Slater wisely says, “Everybody now and then is entitled to too much perfection. There are enough thorns out there as it is.” Anyhow, this problem isn’t going to spoil the kind of dumb warm love story we need to get through the winter. Bed is another of Hollywood’s recent gushy tributes to happy extended families. Lovers pull happy finish from improbable difficulties; problem sex situations; satisfactory for adults.
