Lewis (Slater) is a florist, but the main reason he has this job is he enjoys seeing the look on people's faces when he delivers the flowers. One night when strolling down the street he sees a young woman crying in her apartment, so to cheer her up he sends her some flowers (and delivers them himself). She is then so touched that she searches all over the place to find out who the mystery man is, and when she finds him they fall in love. But it's not all plain sailing, as details of Lisa's past come out (her step father told her she doesn't have a birthday), and we wonder whether their relationship will be strong enough to survive or will just whither away.
Although I am not especially keen on romance films, I actually quite enjoyed this one. Although predictable and a bit too soppy, it's a nice and enjoyable film where you know the love will be strong enough to last against the problems in the couple's way. The idea appears to be new, and it's good to have a nineties romance film that isn't just filled with swearing making it unsuitable for family viewing. I would recommend this to any one who enjoys a good weepie.
In this romance, a kindly florist spies a lovely young woman crying
in her apartment and decides to cheer her up. The woman is hard-working investment banker,
Lisa, who is so busy promoting her career that she has little time for a social life. Lewis
is the romantic florist who sends her an enormous bouquet. Deeply touched by the anonymous
gesture, Lisa begins frantically searching for Lewis' identity. She finds him and they fall
in love and a wonderful romance blooms. But the relationship is not without thorns, and soon
it looks as if love will wither and die. Fortunately, it is only a dry spell and with the
addition of plenty of Hollywood fertilizer, the affair is once again healthy and growing.
