The Bouquet

7.1 stars.

Swanson plays a woman who is successful in business in the big city, she's been away from home for a while. She is like a prodigal daughter because her parents seemed to love her more than her younger sister. The younger sister lives closer to home, but doesn't see her parents very often, and is very jealous and feels like she's been living in her older sister's shadow for 30 years. Dad suddenly dies of a heart attack and the family must come together to reconstruct a dying business and a broken family. There is also a man in the picture who has been helping the parents run the flower business for many years. The older sister falls for the man (eventually), the younger sister falls for another guy (eventually). It's a disjointed film.

If this review seems disorganized it's because the editing, music, and directing of this film are also. I like the story and the message is relevant for most families. There is always going to be a more "special" sibling, and one or more siblings who have to struggle more to fit in, or get the attention they feel they deserve.

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 not a big writer, but I want to recommend this movie to others. The Bouquet movie is a wonderful film, that shows the problems that many of us are challenged with. Most folks can relate to some of the situations in the Bouquet movie.

This was a very well written and directed movie. The story is about a family that struggles with members, who are either self-centered or jealous of others. As a result of their tunnel vision, two sisters miss a special Easter dinner with their parents. The parents are sad that their girls are not with them during their Easter celebration. The only company that they have is a young man, who is a special friend to them. The guy really loves these folks and they are like parents to him.

After their special meal, the elderly man has a heart attack and dies. The rest of the movie shows how the daughters grieve and are so sorry that they missed the last Easter with their dad. Then, the movie shows how the daughters help their mother in restoring a failing floral business. The flower business means a lot to the mom, so the daughters try to get along and help their mother. This is a process of healing in many ways!

The story gets happier as the family overcome past misunderstandings and jealousy. There is, also, a little fun romance for the young women, as special friends help them to make the floral business a success. This movie shows how people of different cultures and backgrounds can help one another in sweet ways.

Christian love is shown in this movie. I give Bouquet a "9" because of this. However, I would like to see movie makers be bolder about why genuine Christians are loving. Jesus makes us this way! Everyone who repents to God of his sins and ask Jesus into his heart to become his Lord and Savior, can lead a victorious, joyful life. Hallelujah!

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!
