Bed of Roses, with Christian Slater and Mary Stuart Masterson. And a cute supporting actress that apparently does the voice of Bobby on King of the Hill? How funny. And ah ha! I was right, Gina Torres from Firefly! Anyway. I think this story could have easily dropped into "trite," but skirted the edge of taking itself too seriously with a few well-placed aware-of-irony lines, and some nice acting. Just a nice romance, quite pleasant.

I don't understand the advertising logic (I thought Li had done his "last movie") but Mr Scott found this amazing little hint of a thing: Jet Li plus Jason Statham equals aweso. I'm almost gibbering, internally, between this and 300.
