At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The Bouquet movie is a nine, because it is well written, directed and performed! This is a heartwarming movie and I really enjoyed it. I am going to buy another copy of this for my mother. As another reviewer stated, this film does not have any bad elements in it. The Bouquet has a lot in it for adults as well as children, but it is non-rated. This is a great example of how you can make a wonderful film for adults without adding vulgar language and immoral scenes.Please, movie makers, learn from how this movie was made. Also, know that many of us "adults" are decent people, who do not want garbage thrown into our movies! I am a Christian man and it is my prayer, that Christians, as well as people of other faiths, will request that more wholesome, non-rated movies be made. I really encourage others to buy and enjoy the Bouquet movie!
The Bouquet is a refreshing, moral movie that is also entertaining! This story is about a family, who has relationship problems. I think that 98% of us can relate to these characters! The story is wonderfully told and it shows how serious life changes can help us awake to what is most important in our lives. Our faith and family should be our top priorities, but many of us miss the boat on this!I am a Jewish heritage man, and I am now a believer and follower of Jesus, and "Born Again" in Christ! (It took me a long time to figure out what God wanted for me!) But, whether you are a God fearing Jewish person, a Christian, or another believer in our creator, I think that you will enjoy this movie. The Bouquet movie is about how love, faith and forgiveness of others can change your life from being hopeless and miserable to happy and victorious! I hope that my review convinces you to buy and watch the Bouquet movie. It's a great story and it shows people of different backgrounds united in Goodwill. I say, "Watch it, you'll like it!"
I'm a tough movie grader, so when I give a film a "9", it's a great picture! Like a previous reviewer, I am thankful to the writer and producer of Bouquet for making this a non-rated film. Why do many movie makers think that we want PG, PG-13 an R rated movies, that are full of either obscenity, nudity or excessive violence? Yes, I concur with another reviewer about this negative situation. I am very pleased that Bouquet does not have junk in it that would make it the "child warning" ratings! I, also, want to give movie producers the plea to make more decent movies. I'd love to see more non-rated movies on the market.We especially need some more Christmas movies that convey the real meaning of Christmas. It's about Christ, the Savior, not about fictitious Santa Claus, Elves, or other goofiness. Please tell your children and grandchildren the real meaning of Christmas. Give them a gift that lasts forever!Okay, now back to the Bouquet movie... I won't tell you the story details, but it's a winning film!
I recently watched this on the religious-based Trinity channel and was amazed at its overall quality: equal to that of a standard Hallmark movie. I have not seen Kristy Swanson on screen in ages, so I did not realize it was her until the closing credits, though her face looked awfully familiar. My first memory of her was in 'Flowers in the Attic' (1985), and later, Early Edition. This movie begins on a solid laid-back note; the aged parents (Nicole Cavendish, Steven Miller) own a greenhouse/floral business, and prepare for the upcoming holiday season; eagerly anticipating arrival of their two adult daughters (Kristy Swanson, Alberta Mayne). Then a tragedy hits, and mom learns some rather unfortunate news. It is now up to the daughters to step up their game and help out with the ailing greenhouse business, and get mom current with the Internet in order to run the place successfully. Soon, both daughters also discover true love with a local delivery man (Jeremy Guilbaut), and a handyman (Michael Shanks).What truly I found unique about this movie was its rather subtle romance tones; unlike many other romance-based movies. This film does not force the theme. The building romances are unobtrusive, which works very well for this type of movie. And the entire cast is superb, and the story, well delivered.
