I'm having a C Slater marathon so watching this for the first time. If you were MSM's character you'd be terrified wouldn't you? Billions of roses, staying over at his apartment and he dry cleans your clothes and buys you loads of sh*it. I don't want my own toothbrush dude we just met.
Idek if I can carry on watching this, it's too much.
"I don't wanna go to the academy Daddy"
"I'm not your father and it's been decided."
Yeah I'd be creeped out too, even though he's good-looking. I don't think I'd respond well to having my apartment flooded with roses. That's just overkill.
The toothbrush was just a gesture of good hospitality so that she could brush her teeth, though. I didn't see it as a hope for future overnight stays.
I found it funny when one of the guys that worked at the flower shop told him, "Buddy, you're gonna blow this, you're gonna scare her off." He waited until AFTER they had delivered enough roses to her to "clean out the city" to mention that?!
Also, where in the heck did she get all of those vases? I know it's just a movie and all and the roses have to look pretty, but, before Christian Slater, she had one person in her family (creepy step-dad) who I'm sure never sent her flowers; one known girlfriend; and an unromantic lover. I would be surprised if she owned ONE vase let alone the 24 or so that she apparently had sitting around.
I'd say those vases came with the flowers. He thought of getting her a toothbrush so he must have thought of making
shareOops i hit send by accident!...
...making sure she had something to put the roses in.
lol sioban, i've done that also before finishing. i wondered about the Vase thing too and Figured with as many as he was sending he supplied the vases 2
The first flowers she receives thanking her for a day of "too much perfection" are in a box and she has to put them in a vase herself. I believe when the sixteen year old with a mustache arrives the next morning, the flowers he has are in a box as well (although I'd have to watch to confirm this). So if the first and last deliveries were in boxes, then more than likely, so were the in-between deliveries that we don't get to see. I think I found a flaw in an otherwise totally believable movie! Boo-ya! (*humor implied*)
shareHe is totally creepy! He stalks her, and comes in way too strong. He was totally intense about her. He scared me off and I wasnt even in the movie.
I guess its good the movie did make him a good guy who only wanted to love her though. In my experience men who stalk and come on too strong are either desperate and clingy or psychotic and abusive lol
Not creepy...just trying to show her how he feels with the best tool he has...flowers. Hell, I had to give birth or have major surgery for my husband to give me flowers. LOL Men rarely get it right; they either give too much or too little. Had she not been so emotionally damaged, I think she would have been tickled pink with all the attention.
I loved CS's character in this movie. The expression on his face when she told him about her father, how patient he was with her, even how much he loved his (dead) wife. Those character traits speak volumes about a man. I'd sure rather have one like this than one from some trash like "Sex & the City" who sleeps with anything with a pulse.

Dear Karma: I have a list of people you missed.
He was creepy. I've met this guy in real life, dated him, and it didn't turn out well. BUT it's a movie so I had to keep reminding myself to suspend my disbelief. That being said, it was a charming movie and I got teary at the end.
shareI hate to be cynical and maybe I watch too much Lifetime but I'd get a PPO on any stranger I caught staring in my window in the middle of the night who later admits he's done it before. That's not romantic. It's creepy.
