Valentine’s Day
I never saw He’s Just Not That Into You, but I wanted to, and even though everyone says “they weren’t that into the movie” (bahahaha) I will still see it someday. So obviously I wanted to see Valentine’s Day. I knew it wasn’t going to be something Jon wanted to watch, so when I saw it as an option on my Luftansa flight, I secretly fist pumped “YES!”
The movie Valentine’s Day follows the stories of 9-11 couples and the upds and downs of love on Valentine’s Day. People get engaged, break up, find out loved ones secrets, accept each other (flaws and all), fall in love and realize that perhaps friends are more than they think. The couples runs the gamut of an elderly couple, young couples, parents/children, kid couples and friendships!
Even though there were a lot of story lines I thought the story weaved together perfectly. It didn’t seem like too much at once. There were definitely characters you were rooting for and characters you couldn’t stand, but all in all it came together well.
Again, chick flick, romantic comedy, emotional dramedy (is that even a category?) - well I thought it was an emotional dramedy because anything about love always tugs at my heart strings and makes me cry (even a cheesy chick flick!) I personally really enjoyed this movie. I put it up there with Sweet Home Alabama, 13 Going on 30 and 27 Dresses – when I see it on FX/USA/TNT/TBS etc - I probably won’t be able to stop myself from watching it – even if it is the 5th day in a row it’s on!
4 stars
