Valentine's Day

A love story. More or less.

If Hallmark Valentine’s Day cards make you go “aww”, then this is a movie for you. Director Garry Marshall and his star-studded cast introduce us to a great number of stories about people and their romantic relationships on the supposedly most love-filled day of the year, most of them shallow, all of them unable to make our hearts go ba-boom. The movie is overlong, saccharine and occasionally downright stupid, as in the predictable friendship between Jennifer Garner and Ashton Kutcher.
