Valentine's Day

About This Movie

Valentine's Day is a pretty light-hearted ensemble piece that explores all the romantic chaos around the holiday. Garry Marshall juggles a ton of storylines, which can feel a bit scattershot at times, but that’s part of its charm. The tone swings from sweet to silly, with a cast that includes everyone from Ashton Kutcher to Julia Roberts, each navigating their own romantic misadventures. The pacing feels like a series of vignettes, which keeps it breezy, though some arcs hit harder than others. What stands out is the film’s take on love's pressures and expectations, making it relatable, if a bit cliché. The practical effects are minimal here, mostly relying on the performances to carry the emotional weight.
