Valentine's Day (I) (2010)
7/10
Nice cute film, with some pretty surprising endings
12 February 2010
This is one of those films where a big bunch of actors and actresses get together and make this pretty wonderful film about a lot of stories (in this case, love stories) that, somehow, get laced showing us a one story plot (such as Love Actually and He's Just Not That Into You). In the case of this film, this dynamic becomes more complex given that all of these stories must get laced during just one day: Valentine's day. The actors (or, at least, most of them) give lovely (yet not amazing) performances, especially Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, Eric Dane and Anne Hathaway who played characters they are not so used to play... On what comes to the younger cast, i gotta say Bryce Robinson is the most memorable one, but the teen cast? Emma Roberts and Carter Jenkins were fine, and i'd probably have to say the same about the Taylors (no need to "last name" them)but the lines were really cheesy and dumb, and i would love to believe that's only due to their characters and not due to self stupidity, cause i'm 17 years old and i bet you i've never talked like that, folks. Now putting that aside (and the fact that some things are quite predictable on everyone of this films)I feel myself almost obligated to point out that some of the endings of this laced stories were quite moving because of being so unexpected and unimaginable, and that, i believe, had given a total new meaning to this movie. Very good job, Gary Marshall. Man, i don't know how you managed such a big cast in such a short story time.
