Ahhh, love is in the air, especially on Valentine’s Day where a bouquet of lovely film stars, hand picked, washed, and well dressed, can frolic around in this romantic comedy. Director Garry Marshall known for comedies and love stories gives us his look into Valentine’s Day.
Break-down: Love, romance, and heartbreak are all a part of this story that focuses on several people and their lives over the course of Valentine’s Day.
This movie has a big cast Including Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, and Jamie Foxx but is, unfortunately a big let-down. This is not to say that I didn’t smile or laugh when watching Valentines Day, but it was far from any real comedy. In fact I’m not exactly sure what the main agenda was, or what the story was trying to bring to the audience. Take out the Valentine’s theme and the movie was really just a big Moorpark.
I liked the idea of this movie, following the different people around, it wasn’t hard to follow and worked well. However, it jumped around so much that you didn’t get to know the characters well enough to feel anything for them. No doubt it will be a good renter so Wait For The DVD.
I would have expected more from Gary Marshall in the humour dept. Sounds like this would be a good movie for watching at home when it’s in video stores. I do prefer stories that make you feel you really know the characters though. thanks for the review Did It suck.com
Valentine’s Day review could have been done better ie less skipping around. I would still watch the movie despite the not so good preview since I am a real sucker for Valentine’s movie.
