Griffin), an abusive foster father, after her adopted mother died. One day, Lisa gets word that Stanley has died; alone in her apartment, she breaks down and cries uncontrollably. Later the same day, Lisa gets an unexpected delivery of a dozen roses from a secret admirer. Puzzled, Lisa presses the delivery man for information on who might have sent her the flowers, and he confesses -- he sent them himself. Lewis (Christian Slater) runs a flower shop and often takes long walks through the neighborhood, trying to lose his memories of his deceased wife and child. He saw Lisa crying in her window and hoped the roses would cheer her up. Before long, Lisa and Lewis begin dating, but both have some emotional issues to resolve before their story can have a happy ending. This film offers your only opportunity of the moviegoing week to hear someone say, "Oh, there's nothing worse than a finicky agapanthis." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Masterson's character in this movie is a lot like many women today, lonely and afraid to love. This romantic drama is realistic, but also sweet. I really liked Slater in this movie, if you're a fan you need to see this. Overall, a good romance movie.

    This is definitely a chick flick. Career girl (Mary Stuart Masterson) wooed by a young guy (Christian Slater) who has already made his millions and is now enjoying life.

    Always a favorite of mine! Mary Stuart Masterson and Christian Slater light up the screen in this loveable romantic story balanced with just a tinge of bittersweet heartache.

    I found it to be dry in some parts. but the story it self and the actors that play in it make up the differents. It reminds me of the way I some what act now to guys I kind of push them away because I've been hurt. but for a guy to for give me for doing that. mm nice. very raman... read moreic story

    You've got to love how the guy woos the lady, that is if you're romantic at all.
    Men should go after what they want. A girl shouldn't have to guess if a guy is interested in here. I love this slant on how he gets her attention!
    Every girl loves roses/flowers being sent to her!

Don't blame the leads, but the movie has less emotional resonance than an old FTD florist commercial with Merlin Olsen.
