Director Garry Marshall delivers a cute and quirky romantic comedy with a star-studded cast. The film follows several intertwining couples and singles and how their lives unfold on the one day of the year that no one wants to be alone, and the interconnections they all have with each other. 


Though the storyline is  predictable, it is still fun to see how all of the characters connect. Absent a great premise, so the cast is what makes this movie so entertaining. The stars range from Grammy award-winning artist Taylor Swift to Academy Award winners Julia Roberts and Jamie Foxx. The film also includes television’s favorite doctors: Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane.


Every couple in the movie has great chemistry, especially comedy veterans Ashton Kutcher and  star Jennifer Garner. A surprise stand-out performance is delivered by Jessica Biel, who plays a sports agent that throws an anti-Valentine’s Day party every year and eats her sorrows away with bon-bons. Another great performance was delivered by Anne Hathaway who has a second job as a sex phone operator, which gets in the way of her being pursued by the adorable Topher Grace.


The audience laughed throughout the movie, which received a loud round of applause as the credits rolled. “Valentine’s Day” is a must-see for romantic comedy lovers.
