    I like movies where storylines intertwine with one another, and Valentine's Day certainly has that - perhaps twenty A and B list actors figuring out their love lives on Valentine's Day. It is somewhat like "Love Actually", but never quite claws its way up to the point where you ... read morethink the characters care about each other.

    Warning - there are spoilers! This movie has a great cast and similar to 'He's not that into you' it has lots of storylines that interweave with each other. It is also not your typical soppy romance. It is not a comedy although there are comical moments. It is Valentine's Day and... read more Ashton proposes to Jessica Alba. She says yes and the movie follows most of his day. He is a florist and it is the busiest day of the year. There are young and old love stories including the two Taylors. Very sweet! Jessica Biel is anti Valentine's day and annually throws I hate Valentine's Day party with her single friends. But she is to meet a love interest - Jamie Foxx. In the meantime Bradley and Julia are stuck on a long haul flight. Typical Hollywood everything comes good in the end.

    The way the stories are connected is kinda interesting but at times scenes just seem a little too cheesy or not funny at all. A great cast and the few chuckles I got from it makes me give it an extra half star.

    Valentine's Day has come and gone, and all you're left with is a mound of red chocolate wrappers and a (hopefully not) broken heart. If you simply can't wait until next year for more sugar and love, there is a solution. You can revisit the magical Hallmark holiday by heading out ... read moreto the theater to watch that new Garry Marshall film. You know, the one with the really original title and more celebrities than it knows what to do with. What a shame, then, that "Valentine's Day" is the cinematic equivalent of food poisoning.

    A plot synopsis of "Valentine's Day" would resemble less of a story and more of a list. Essentially, a various array of characters played by Ashton Kutcher ("What Happens in Vegas"), Jessica Alba ("Good Luck Chuck"), Jessica Biel ("Powder Blue"), Taylor Swift (yes, the singer, in her first and possibly last movie role), Taylor Lautner ("New Moon"), Jamie Foxx ("Ray"), Patrick Dempsey (TV's "Grey's Anatomy"), Bradley Cooper ("The Hangover"), and more celebrate Valentine's Day. In one way or another, each finds a way to semi-ruin the romantic holiday. We are made to believe that this is really tragic. But don't be too worried, because spoiler: they eventually all get back together.

    There is, however, a bright side to all of this. You get to find out about Carter Jenkins.

    Who is Carter Jenkins, you ask? Playing the teenage Romeo to Emma Roberts's ("Hotel For Dogs") Juliet, Jenkins is literally the only actor that wasn't paid more than a million dollars for his approximately six minutes of screen time. Translation: he's the only cast member that isn't regularly mentioned in People Magazine.

    Director Garry Marshall, who singlehandedly homogenized the date-movie with his hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold-story "Pretty Woman" in 1990, jumps onto the starflattery bandwagon with zeal, and not a minute too late. Last year, Ken Kwapis's ensemble "He's Just Not That Into You" featured nine A-list celebrities. To make up for lost time, "Valentine's Day" has nineteen. And back again for "Pretty Woman" round 2 is Julia Roberts ("Duplicity"), who makes a cool $8,333 for every second she breathes into the camera.

    And it isn't just that we get to look at these stars for a few minutes, either - in fact, some of them say some really golden lines.

    "Are you sick?" the concerned Hector Elizondo ("The Princess Diaries") asks his distraught grandson, whose babysitter is coincidentally Roberts the younger, mother is Roberts the elder, grandmother is Shirley Maclaine ("Rumor Has It"), teacher is Jennifer Garner ("13 Going On 30"), and florist is Kutcher.

    "Yes," he replies. "I'm lovesick."

    Lovesick? No, just sick.

    Save the impossibly cheesy lines, ridiculously improbable details (Kutcher's lovelorn character scores a free airline ticket to San Francisco after telling the baggage check guy his incredibly woeful story.) and decidedly unfunny situations (a crazy Hispanic woman angrily beats her husband with a sign), "Valentine's Day" doesn't have much else going for it. If a rom-com without the rom and without the com really floats your boat, "Valentine's Day" is the movie for you. Otherwise, skip the trip.

    Armed with an arsenal of tabloid magazines and Perez Hilton, though, "Valentine's Day" can be quite an enjoyable experience - if you don't pay attention to the movie itself. It's kind of fun imagining all the awkward sexual tension generated among the cast members offscreen. For instance, the two Taylors made tweenaged Twilight fans around the world cut themselves in joy when it was announced that they were dating. (In an unrelated note, they cut themselves again when the two announced their amicable parting after three months.) Topher Grace (TV's "That 70s Show") and Anne Hathaway ("The Princess Diaries") used to be the hot item ten years ago, which is actually really weird considering they're acting as a couple in the film, too. And in a more complicated circle of things, Cooper's current squeeze Renee Zellweger ("Bridget Jones's Diary") used to date Matthew Perry (TV's "Friends"), who broke up with Roberts a while back.

    Welcome to Hollywood, where you break up with your girlfriend one day and the next you're starring in a movie with them. And you get $50 million for doing it, too.

    Garry Marshall takes a play from the Robert Altman handbook with "Valentine's Day", a romantic comedy about interconnecting people on the famed holiday in Los Angeles. It's a cheerful but shallow picture to say the least. While the film is packed with stars (23 in total) and a fe... read morew good laughs, this modern day romance has nothing important to say, hell, it has nothing to say at all. The main lesson learned is that everyone needs to make their own definition of love... okay, thanks. Regardless, it's a really breezy film. It's bright, the stars plays to their strengths and it's just long enough to have all the stories resolved. It is what it is and "Valentine's Day" makes for a good film to accompany the holiday.

Valentine's Day is a passing nod to love, like a box of chocolates or flowers that soon wilt. It's star-studded amiable fluff with no real value, but it's kind of a tickle if you're in the mood. Full Review

Like a tiny car that putters into the centre ring at the circus and starts disgorging clown after clown, Valentine's Day has crammed 19 stars into one vehicle. The difference? Clowns are entertaining. Full Review
