jmmcdowell Review of Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day (I) (2010)

Straight guy who saw this movie alone..and LIKED IT

[7/10 · 19 February 2010]

Im a single, straight, decent looking 39 year old guy,and yes i liked this movie. Im a sucker for a romantic comedy,a movie directed by Garry Marshall(Pretty Woman fame)and Julia Roberts. SUE ME... Movies are sometimes supposed to be exactly what this is . just a fun,feel good movie. This film is not a historical document or trying to change the world. its just trying to make you smile,and in that right alone this film wins. This movie is a who's ,who of current popular(and may i say very HOT) Hollywood. From the opening scene of Ashton Kutcher(who this film seems to be a starring vehicle for since he is in it more then anyone else)and jessica Alba, to the end with Julia Roberts,Hector Elizondo ,and Shirley Mclain. I went and saw"The Edge of Darkness" right after this movie and i gotta say, "Valentines Day",made me feel pretty good. If your looking for some laughs,some love and a few"AWWWW" moments . THIS IS YOUR FILM.. If you want Academy Award winning acting,see something else
