Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

ctomvelu-1 A wife searches for her photojournalist husband in war-torn Yugoslavia. She has the help of some other journalists who had left her husband for dead. We see the Serbian army killing anyone and everyone in its path, and even the destruction of a hospital. I guessed the movie must have been filmed in the Czech Republic, and I was right. Sad to say, some of the scenes probably did not need much "dressing" to suggest the utter destruction wrought by the blood-mad Serbs. Andie MacDowell is the determined wife and David Strathairn is the missing husband. They are supported in their efforts by gifted actors like Elias Koteas, Adrian Brody and Brendan Gleason. Based on a book, this is a compelling love story using modern war as a backdrop.

Layla The love story of this movie is so silly (someone already wrote it in previous comments). Also, the story about war in Yugoslavia, about Croatian and Serbian people is so wrong. It can't be that only Serbs did things that are shown in the movie. The truth is that Croatian people did the same awful things and they are not shown in the movie in the right way. Do you know how many innocent Serbs, women, children, were killed by Croatian army in so terrible way?If you decide to see this movie i would like to recommend you first to inform your self about this war and to find out a true story about it. I wouldn't recommend this movie.

Neil Doyle HARRISON'S FLOWERS, a film title that goes nowhere in explaining what this movie is all about, is perhaps an apt title for the aimless storytelling technique that takes up the first forty-five minutes of story exposition. It gives no clue as to what we are about to witness once the heroine decides to trace the whereabouts of her journalist husband in war-torn Yugoslavia, circa 1991.The idea that a loving wife would put herself and everyone else around her in constant danger in the midst of a savage civil war raging all around them, in order to reach the side of the husband everyone tells her is dead, is even more ludicrous on film than it is in the pages of a script. Nor is it helped by the disturbing performance of Andie MacDowell who puts herself in the kind of situations that would turn a normal person into a basket case, but plods on determined to find the missing husband.To make matters worse, her missing hubby is played by David Straithairn, an actor with all the charisma of a wet mop, who has been neglecting his wife and children due to the pressures of his job as a photojournalist for Newsweek. His wife seems oblivious to the danger she heads for, even after a traveling companion is abruptly shot in the head by Croatian soldiers. A more compelling actor cast as the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist might have made MacDowell's mission more credible.Given short shrift are actors in the supporting cast, with the exception of Adrien Brody as a scruffy looking coke-sniffing hipster who is so sorry that he dissed her husband at a social event that he is willing to make up for it by escorting her through battle zones. He uses the "f" word as an expletive every time he utters a thought. At one point, asked to explain his actions, he says cynically: "I always wanted to be a boy scout." But short shrift is indeed the fate of Diane Baker as MacDowell's mother and Gerard Butler in a brief supporting role that has no function at all in the plot. No wonder Butler, who had only a few good supporting roles before his stint as PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, was so little known to most film fans.The war zone scenes are gripping and powerfully filmed, but the slim love story that holds all the threads together is a weak one and most of the scenes leading up to the street battles are so poorly paced that tedium sets in and never quite lets up.All of it is handsomely photographed but it seems like so much care was wasted on a story that limps to a less than satisfying conclusion.

robertconnor When her photo-journalist husband is reported killed during the Croatian-Serbian war, an American woman refuses to believe his death and sets out to find him. Ill-prepared, she very quickly encounters the depravity and horrific violence of the events of Yugoslavia 1991-92.Harrison's Flowers plays like an uncomfortable hybrid between a gritty European film, and a rather crass US TV movie. Whilst the scenes of war, and the experiences of journalists on the front line are captured to astonishing, and frequently devastating effect, the very notion of MacDowell wandering through the carnage looking for her husband approaches the ridiculous. MacDowell isn't necessarily a bad actor, and has often been shown to good effect in a number of funny and successful comedies. However, she just doesn't have the chops to carry such a brutal and shocking story, and as such is the film's central flaw. This viewer can't help wondering what kind of movie it would have been had, say, Cate Blanchett played Sarah. Other performances are excellent, and deeply credible, and asides from a frankly unbelievable ending, this film sears its way into the memory and reminds how shocking this period of history was.
