Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Such thirties movies as STAGE DOOR CANTEEN featured cameo appearances by stars each doing his or her own thing strung together in this famous oldie by all making charity appearances the same day to support an honorable but thus far failing world war effort. In the 1970's creative directors recycles this movie theme in thrillers in which a star cast is together at the time of a catastrophe after which all go in separate directions the audience unsure of who will live and who will die. In the 19 remake90's the pioneer movie LOVE ACTUALLY turned this into a romantic comedy about unrelated people having simultaneous catharses about the London holiday season. VALENTINE's DAY recycles this plot in millennium Los Angeles where more than a dozen name stars do their own thing in unrelated plots on Valentine's day. Should one of these name stars be a favorite you will enjoy his or her individualized star turn. There seems no theme uniting the various stories as well as no parameters to how all could be squeezed successfully into the same two hour movie which drags and ultimately disappoints.

Don't listen to all the negative reviews for Garry Marshall's Valentine's Day. This film has all the right things! It has great actors (and a lot of them LOL) that give strong performances all around. It has good writing as far as the script goes. It also has really cute touching heartwarming story lines that intertwine very well together, which is the whole plot of the film. I absolutely adored Julia and Emma Roberts, Queen Latifah, Ashton kutcher (and I don't usually like him), Eric Dane and Bradley cooper in this movie! It was also hilarious at times, between Anne Hathaway's awkward phone sex moments and Queen Latifah's funny lines. Also Shirley MacLaine and her husband in the film has a super sweet heart warming storyline of their own. It tackles old romance, young high school romance, gay romance, and Middle Aged romance. And it also has a killer soundtrack that really works well with the movie itself. I just really loved this film, it was cute, entertaining, and it was just harmless fun! 10/10!!

That's what friends do, that's common knowledge, it's in the damn handbook ; are any worth saving? 7/10 my 84 review

It's like the 2005's movie, 'Crash' telling multiples stories of characters in Los Angeles, but instead of dealing with the topic of racism. It's a comedy about love and Valentine Day. Directed by Garry Marshall, this movie is so gimmicky that it can't be watch on, any other day than that holiday. All the movie stars couldn't make this movie, any better. The movie have way too much characters. I guess, it was trying a little too hard to appeal to everybody. You got everything from ranging from the old couple play by legends, Shirley MacLaine & Hector Elizondo to Emma Roberts & Carter Jerkins playing clueless teenagers. They even add on gay & interracial story lines to the mix so every love affair is focused on. It really could had cut some of these characters out of the movie. It's get really confusing with all the stories, going on, at once. The move jumps around from character to character way too much. It doesn't really enter lock that way. I hate how the movie jumps around when things are getting good. The British 2003's movie 'Love Actually" does the basic premise of multiple story lines occurring around a popular holiday, but a lot better. It's somewhat funny, and the jokes kinda work. I do like the lying stinking pig dish sequence, and the airport scene, the most. Some of the scenes, they could had cut out. Honestly, was there any good reason why Taylor Lautner & Taylor Swift's characters were in this movie besides comedy relief? Both are not that great as actors, anyways. I do like the inside joke about Lautner being unconformable about taking his shirt off. That got me a laugh. There are a lot of clever inside jokes such as the 1970's cell phone tone when talking a certain foreman or 1958's Hot Spell being shown to a certain woman. Another inside joke at the end that got me, laughing. Something about a certain pretty woman. Another thing that should had been cut was Liz (Anna Hatchaway) and Jason (Topher Grace)'s story. It didn't really felt like a big deal story, and it rarely interlocks with the other stories. So why have it! I thought it should had been taking off. The whole football sub-plot with Shawn Johnson (Eric Dane) kinda took us away from the main theme of Valentine Day to the point; that it felt like I was watching a different movie. I thought it would had been left off the editing table as well. The only story that should had focus more on, is the whole Reed Bennett (Ashton Kutner) & Julia Flitzpatrick (Julia Garner) plot. Is it just me, or did I have to say that Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner look alike to the point, I forgot which characters, they were playing. I got confused, really quick. The things, I didn't like about the film. I didn't like how every character in the film felt like they live in some odd type of millionaire lifestyle. Nobody really felt like really real characters here. They were all way too pretty. Juliet Roberts as a soldier. I don't buy it. The airport guy giving Reed, a free airline ticket. I don't buy it. The kid, Edison (Bryce Robinson) going all the way, just to show his love for valentine day. I really doubt that unrealistic plot line. The movie does follow some of the rom-com clichés like guy getting dump by hot girl to only fall in love with his best girl/friend or girl get cheated by dream guy to only to fall in love with her best boy/friend. It does make fun of the overused click flick clichés too, like example with the whole love rush to the airport and the whole awkward kiss behind friends. There were several sexual references throughout the film and mild language. For a PG-13 movie, it was somewhat OK. It wasn't as bad, as certain critics are saying. Still, I doubt I will ever go back and watch this movie, again. The movie somewhat success in the box office cause a spin off movie in 2011's New Year's Eve. I'll get to that, one day. This movie can be sums up from one line in the film. This is what I thought about it. There you have it, folks. Young love. Full of promise, full of hope, ignorant to reality. Indeed, this movie is ignorant to reality
