	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A sappy story about two sad sacks who get more or less what they deserve -- each other. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Jack Mathews Los Angeles Times	"The flower is gorgeous, and the entire movie is a veritable bouquet to New York. But Lisa’s right. In the end, 'Bed of Roses' is too much perfection."
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"[It] possesses enough intelligence and energy to lift it into the upper echelon of 'traditional' modern romances (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Brian Lowry Variety	"Sweet but uninspired, "Bed of Roses" is a genial, old-fashioned romance with very little to recommend it other than earnest, likable performances by leads Christian Slater and Mary Stuart Masterson"
		Darren Bignell Empire	"Good leads, but totally unbelievable story. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle	"A somber picture about a couple of lonely people who fall in love, the film has both the advantages and disadvantages of a movie directed by its screenwriter. It's heartfelt and sincere, but slightly naive and clueless."
