Valentine's Day


Rating: 5
Running Time: 1:57
Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, Julia Roberts, and numerous other recognizable names
Genre: Mature Audience, Romance (aka "Chick Flick")


I tried to list the above stars in order of importance, but I gave up. No one seemed much more prominent than any of the others. The movie is a mixture of love relationships only very loosely woven together, all happening on Valentine's Day. Things work out happily for the principals, except, of course, for those who didn't deserve love- which is OK for us incurable romantics. The movie was panned by most critics, and it will never be remembered as a classic. Everything's pretty predictable, but if you're in for a bit of escapism, then go see it.
