Director
Gary
Marshall's
latest
Hollywood
movie
Valentine"s
Day
is
a
light-hearted
romantic
comedy.
It
has
a
star-studded
ensemble
cast
of
Hollywood
power
players.
The
film
doesn't
create
any
great
myth
like
his
Pretty
Woman,
but
it
fits
in
with
the
mood
of
February
14.
The
major
highlight
of
the
movie
is
that
it
has
a
huge
cast
of
well-known
actors
like
Jessica
Alba,
Jessica
Biel,
Bradley
Cooper,
Eric
Dane,
Jamie
Foxx,
Jennifer
Garner,
Anne
Hathaway,
Ashton
Kutcher,
Queen
Latifah,
Taylor
Lautner,
Julia
Roberts,
Taylor
Swift.
Moreover,
audience
will
get
to
see
the
chemistry
between
different
stars
on
screen.
With
a
couple
of
surprises,
the
movie
has
a
contrived
and
predictable
story,
which
is
the
interwoven
story
of
several
couples
and
singles
as
they
experience
sex,
love
and
relationship
issues
with
the
added
pressures
and
expectations
associated
with
'Valentine's
Day'.
It
deals
with
a
variety
of
relationships
from
first
dates
to
longtime
commitments,
from
young
crushes
to
old
flames
and
from
interracial
relationship
to
gay's
love
affair.
The
movie
Valentine's
Day
has
a
message
that
a
person
can
find
love
at
any
age.
It
is
meant
for
people
of
all
ages.
The
movie
cuts
across
generations
from
a
childhood
crush
to
teenage
angst
and
old
age
in
showing
the
sweet
and
messy
sides
of
either
approaching
or
avoiding
love.
Besides
this,
it
offers
some
great
laugh
out
loud
moments
and
interesting
twists.
The
movie
has
few
drawbacks
too.
Firstly,
the
movie
seems
to
have
violated
reasonable
expectations
of
the
audience.
It
delivers
plenty
of
wish
fulfillment,
but
hardly
fulfills
any
of
them.
Secondly,
several
characters
lack
realism
and
basic
human
nature.
Somewhere,
they
seem
to
be
behaving
according
to
the
demands
of
the
screenplay.
Finally,
it
has
very
less
number
of
sentimental
sequences
and
it
hardly
touches
the
emotional
chord
of
audience.
