Valentine's Day follows the intertwining storylines of a group of Los Angelinos as they find their way through romance over the course of one Valentine's Day.This is a somewhat watchable movie, but there is simply way too much going on. Too many characters. Too many stories. Too many pairings to tie up. And the movie is just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. If this could have been a tighter 90 minutes movie, I probably would have enjoyed it much more. To be honest, looking at the poster to the left, at least half of those faces are completely uneccesary in the movie. Again - its not horrible. There were 2 or 3 really funny scenes and there were some storylines that panned out in a way that you really do enjoy. I just think that ultimately it took too long to get there and ends up desensitizing you and what not. The other thing that I have to say is that having a young "teenage" daughter who is dying to see this - the teen stars in this movie that the younger kids want to see are tied in to a storyline of whether or not to have sex so be warned about placating the youngsters by taking them to see this. Probably not a fun ride home. Really glad I saw this first before accidentally taking that plunge.
I would very lukewarmly recommend this movie to people. Its not a horrible watch by any means but not nearly as good as it could have been because of way too many ingredients.
