Some people give this movie bad reviews....but I don't know why. Yes there are lots of famous people and the plot/people can get confusing at times. But seriously it is so cute and will warm your heart. I just watched this on Valentine's Day and my wife and I loved it. EXTRA: Taylor Swift dances in this movie and it is pretty magical.

Wife made me watch this with her because it had "star power". The only power it had was to make me constantly throw up in my mouth over and over again. This was honestly the worst movie I have ever seen. Terrible acting, worse writing, and everything was predictable from the start to the end. I'm hoping it ends soon.Oh God. It's still going. Now my wife is laughing. I'm wondering if this is grounds for divorce.My review does not contain enough lines. What else can I say besides the fact that this is so awful? Please kill me.Still not enough????? OMG. Taylor Swift is on again. Now I want to puke again. Please let it be over!!!!

Director Garry Marshall struck it big with Pretty Woman and since then rom-coms have been a forte of his. He makes a big deal here of Valentine's Day and almost equates to Christmas or Thanksgiving.Valentine's Day is his Robert Altman moment. An array of Hollywood stars criss crossing on the most romantic day of the year. There are literally a dozen or so plot lines in the mix here and all of them not very good and some actors are literally wasted such as Kathy Bates who appears in two scenes.Jamie Foxx is a second tier sports commentator trying to find that big story rather than care for human interest stories who falls for Jessica Biel, a publicist for an over the hill football star whose agent is Queen Latifah.Ashton Kutcher is a romantic florist on the busiest day of the year but his fiancée Jessica Alba is having cold feet and he realises the right woman for him could be his best friend Jennifer Garner a school teacher who is having a fling with a doctor who she later realises is married.Shirley MacLaine is a 1950s starlet married for 50 years to Hector Elizondo but confesses to him of a past betrayal. Their grandson has a first crush and wants Kutcher to deliver a special bouquet for Valentines Day.Bradley Cooper and Julia Roberts are sitting next to each other on a long distance flight, she is a soldier taking leave to get home to spend a few hours with someone special. They seem to get on well and flirt a little but who does Cooper really care for?Anne Hathaway has got a new job working for Queen Latifah but she moonlights as a phone sex operator and just started a relationship with Topher Grace.There are also plot lines featuring Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner and Emma Roberts which is as tedious as Hathaway talking sexy every five minutes when the phone goes off wherever she is at work, at home or in a restaurant.I liked the young kid bothering Kutcher for the delivery of his roses but you can guess who he really had a crush on. The Roberts/Cooper strand was intriguing and interesting especially as the air hostess also had the hots for Cooper as well. The Hathaway phone sex story just sucked and the other plot lines aroused little interest in me.This is a film that needed to be tighter, more funnier and the stories more interesting. It actually also needed to be more romantic.

This was a decently funny film with several interlocking stories, all on the titular Valentine's Day. It opens with Jessica Alba accepting Ashton Kutcher's wedding proposal while waking up (how romantic!), and proceeds from there. My favorite scenes include those with the football player, Anne Hathaway's role as a "phone sex operator," George Lopez's scenes, the "I Hate Valentine's Dance," Jamie Foxx's scenes as a sports reporter, and Taylor Swift carrying that huge bear around! You might be surprised who Julia Roberts is going to see at the end. I also loved Jennifer Garner's scenes. Some of the scenes and stories actually interacted! Perhaps the most impressive part of this movie is the large ensemble cast. All the actors in the stories worked well together. You will enjoy this movie and want to watch it on Valentine's Day!** 1/2 out of ****
