Valentine's Day
2010 Directed by Garry Marshall
Synopsis
A Love Story. More or Less.
More than a dozen Angelenos navigate Valentine's Day from early morning until midnight. Three couples awake together, but each relationship will sputter; are any worth saving? A grade-school boy wants flowers for his first true love; two high school seniors plan first-time sex at noon; a TV sports reporter gets the assignment to find romance in LA; a star quarterback contemplates his future; two strangers meet on a plane; grandparents, together for years, face a crisis; and, an "I Hate Valentine's Day" dinner beckons the lonely and the lied to. Can Cupid finish his work by midnight?

Even worse than I expected - badly plotted, relying on romantic cliché and 2 hours too long - I watched it with a "Let the pain begin" thought, but didn't realise that the pain would be as painfully painful as it was.
This is an awful film. -
Here's a super special Valentines Day Blob comic! So Romantical! Much better than this really terrible movie!

Ohhhhh dear this is hard going. Really boring, really full of actors you could not give one iota of a shit about, and full of sentimental crap that I'm pretty sure is just one big long advert for Hallmark or something.
At least Anne Hathaway and Topher Grace have mildly good chemistry.
OH GOD TAYLOR SWIFT.

WTF was this pile of shit!!!!! One would assume that if there are 10 or more A list starts in a film that it would at least be watchable. Might be one of the worst films i have ever seen. Won't get that hour and a half back.

Absolutely shameful attempt at modernising Love Actually. Mostly fantastic cast but a lot of wasted talent on a film that's not worth a backwards glance. Also, Taylor Swift does an awful job and makes this film 10x worse than it already was... if possible. I can imagine the only group this would please would be dim 12 year old girls.

Can be very good, but also a few story-lines that end up lame. Alba and Dempsey are no more than a-hole cliches. Eric Dane simply cannot act. And the Taylor's, Swift and Launter, have ZERO chemistry and their story is nothing more than to give the film a reason to play the Swift single from the soundtrack.
All the other stories are fine and work really well. Kutcher of all people stands out as the best actor of the bunch. A few good twists in the end as well.
It was good, but no where as close to LOVE ACTUALLY, the film it's trying like crazy to be.

Just my luck the only friend in town who was into going to the cinema as much as I only was really interesting in this kind of movie. I had actually hoped it would be more like Love Actually than like what it actually was, and it was as trite and vapid as romantic comedies are at their worst.

Learned: Even when films are terrible one good line from Queen Latifah can save it all. #romcommoviemarathon

Given the spirit of the holiday, it’d be nice to be able to cut the film some slack and give circumstances under which I could still recommend it. But that just isn’t going to happen. If you’re looking for a romantic comedy, picking virtually anything else will be an improvement in both originality and depth. If you just want something inoffensive on in the background, that doesn’t require much thought, while you putter around the house preparing for a party or dinner date or anything else… turn on Food Network or something. At least then there’s a chance of seeing something interesting. Valentine’s Day perfectly fits what the holiday’s harshest detractors describe it as: mass-produced, over-commercialized, and utterly artificial. Read full review.

Please stop making these movies. PLEASE.

Para pasar el ratillo viendo a muchos famosos aparecer por pantalla y de paso "sufrir" sus amorios del día de San Valentin. Esta bastante bien, pero poco mas. Me ha gustado mas esta segunda vez que la primera.

No.

Funnier than I thought it would be, I had such a great time watching it.

Stupid. Because a guy totally gets engaged, broke up and with a different woman in about 12 hours.

I am a sappy, sappy sap and I love this movie. And this cast!
