I reluctantly agreed to go and see Valentines Day last Friday, as part of my girlfriend's Valentines weekend. I am not a huge fan of romantic comedies anyway, but I thought I'd take the chance and go in with no preconceived ideas.
After about half an hour, I was a bit puzzled. Well, very puzzled.
There seemed to be about 10 stories going on at the same time, none of which were very interesting. All the characters were hugely underdeveloped and grossly unbelievable. A HUGE miscasting of Julia Roberts as someone from the army. Every sugary sappy cliché done to death until i was nearly drowning in schmaltz! so in summary...
lots of stories are going on, in which not very much is going on. all the characters are hugely unlikeable, it is massively boring, lots of girly clichés for the audience to go "awwwwwwwww" at. this film is a mess. it has no substance. no heart. it is all that is dark about cinema. it is a producer's wet dream. an easy way to make a few million quid on valentines day weekend. most people will be gullible enough to swallow the sap.
My girlfriend turned to me half way through it and said...
"this is a bit crap isn't it?" Pretty much summed it up really.
