    If Marshall is an unrepentant Tory on some issues -- Valentine's Day stumps for teen abstinence and marrying your best friend, and warns that career women may end up alone -- he is open-hearted and generously conciliatory on gay rights, and he implies quite casually that multi-culti coupling may be the surest way to dispose of racism.

    The surprising thing here is how smoothly this over-iced cake goes down.

    The film feels as calculatedly sentimental as one of those bland pink candy hearts.

    I enjoyed each story line that wove around each one, and even threw in a twist that even at the end made me cry a little. LIfe is not what we expect it to be and this is what the story was giving the audience.. Would definitely own this one when it comes to DVD and BlueRay.… Expand

    Story wise Valentines Day doesn't really have any problems. It has workable vignettes that at times interlink. Its what was expected and its what you are given. However this is also where the problem lies. The film only gives you a run of the mill anthology piece, it doesn't try to impress, it doesn't try to do something out of the ordinary, it just doesn't try. It runs through predictable story arcs you mainly find in cliched cable movies and this film would be right there with them if it wasn't for the cast. The extremely well stocked cast provides some semblance of character to a film that doesn't try to create any in the first place. The director only puts half his effort into the film with the plot twists being predictable and the pairings uninspired. Hell, its Valentines Day. Do something inspired or at least something with a modicum of thought put into it.… Expand

    If you went to see this film, then you know you got EXACTLY what you paid for. A generic romantic comedy that was hastily made under pressure for the sole purpose of making money at the box office on Valentine's Day. So yes, a cliche in the first degree. Just by looking at the promotional poster, you could tell that the plot was blatantly (and poorly) stolen from 'Love Actually', and therefore guessed that the story-line was going to be weak, if not non-existent, inconclusive and unsatisfying. In fact, the only people who thought that this movie was the best thing since the Twilight Saga was the 13 year old audience who's hearts exploded through their mouth every time Taylor Lautner or Ashton Kutcher were even mentioned. Not to mention the scene were it was suggested Lautner take off his shirt for a second time in his short career. Wouldn't the world be a scary, misdirected and angry place if hormonal teens were allowed to be critics! No, I can't even begin to imagine.… Expand
