 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!! February 15, 2010

In honor of today actually being Valentine's Day, I wanted to see this movie. I actually liked it. It is very funny, and very romantic. All the characters are interesting and you care for them. There were a few twists that I didn't expect. This movie is filled with a lot of great actors.
On Valentine's Day, we see the lives of different couples and how they deal with love and friendship. Some hearts are broken, and some will find true love on this magical day.
Ashton Kutcher plays a florist named Reed Bennett who pops the question to his girlfriend. Jennifer Garner plays a teacher named Julia who falls in love with a doctor who is unfaithful. Anne Hathaway plays a receptionist named Liz who tries to hide the fact that she is a phone sex operator. A kid in Julia's class named Edison tries to send flowers to his Valentine. All this and much more happens on the day of love. I highly recommend VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
"Im only in love with my blackberry..." March 6, 2010

The reviews said "Valetines Day" is a flop. I'd say it flops pretty good. Very good. But, then I love Taylor Swift..Old pro Garry Marshall directs this spring-time valentine to southern California. The Hollywood sign looms in the distance, as a truck-load of intertwining couples make-up and break-up, all centered around sending flowers on "Valentines Day". They meander down Sunset Boulevard, cruise by Rodeo Drive, and check into the Beverley Wilshire. At the center of this under-rated romantic comedy is Ashton Kutcher as Reed, who proposes to Morley, played by a luscious Jessica Alba. Morley says "yes", but later changes her mind; an immature young woman unable to love somebody else. Of course a chick-flick, "Valentines Day" has room for the men: You can ponder Ms. Alba half-dressed in her bed, Jennifer Garner in her underwear, and a good dose of young Hollywood hotties like Jessica Biel and Anne Hathaway. But it's Kutcher who makes the movie. Finally almost acting, Kutcher is touching here, as a heart-broken lover, who decides to turn his sorrow into saving his female best friend. The movie starts slow, and gags fall flat, but the second half lights up. It will melt the hardest heart. Supporting actors are good; including George Lopez, Queen Latifah, Kathy Bates and Paul Williams(somewhere). Very talented Jamie Foxx is mis-cast as a black TV announcer; strangely out-of-place around so many young white hunks. And Jessica Alba is shaky and insecure, perhaps too close to the character she portrays. 42-year-old Julia Roberts is lovely and restrained, as Capt. Kate Hazeltine; on a 24-hour furlough, coming home to see the most important man in her life. Shirley MacLaine is memorable. An argument with her husband drives him to the classic-movie-night at Hollywood Cemetery Forever; an actual location containg the caskets of June Mathis and the movie star she created: Rudolph Valentino. Taylor Swift is very funny as a ditsy Valley Girl. The dialogue is fast, but you don't really mind. "My only real love is my blackberry". "Oh. I'm sorry. I really have to take this.." Surely no classic, "Valentines Day" will be remembered. It should have been called "Love Story", but some movie already has that title.
Better than the critics said it was February 15, 2010

This movie was arguably made in imitation of Love Actually. At least one critic noted this and cast it as being a very poor imitation. I found it much better plotted and the acting is every bit as good.
great movie June 6, 2010

Great movie and very funny. Taylor Swift as a ditz was perfect. Even our teenage son liked it.
Love it! June 12, 2010

It's ALL my favorite actors in one movie, what more could you ask for? The movie has the same concept as 'he's just NOT that into you'. Another good movie. Well worth it. After I saw this in the theater, I knew I was going to buy it. So I did
