So I’m feeling a little conflicted. Part of me liked the movie Valentine’s Day while the other half didn’t—even with a celebrity studded cast. I understand that it is a romantic comedy and everything that goes with the territory, but the bad lines, weird cuts to shots of impertinent objects and a desperate Jessica Biel (no one that hot, smart and connected is single with no prospects) overshadowed the cute moments.
I actually thought the acting was great (expect for the little boy)! I took the bad script into consideration. My favorites were Anne Hathaway (amazing!) and Taylor Swift (cute!). Jennifer Garner had the main female role and she was adorable—her character seemed the most normal and relatable. And then we have Ashton Kutcher as the male lead playing a hopeless-romantic florist (shocking!). Case in point: when Garner’s character is debating whether to go surprise her man in San Francisco Kutcher enlightens her, “It’s Valentine’s Day, you don’t think, you just do!” I mean, REALLY? And no, I’m not some love scorned single—I have a very cute boyfriend. However, if you made me from one of the many sexy males stars to end up with at the end of the movie I’d choose Jamie Foxx and then Bradley Cooper (see the movie and you’ll know why he is my second choice).
I didn’t hate the movie, but I wouldn’t see it again and I don’t think you would be throwing away your money if you saw it, unless you took your beau, then I guess you would just be throwing away his money because he definitely won’t like it—use personal discretion on that one.
Basically, this is what you should expect: some smiles, some uncomfortably bad scenes and a little sweetness.
