The premise of Valentine’s Day is thoroughly enjoyable, seeing how the overall plot constantly elaborates on how pointless this Hallmark holiday really is. The one thing that really baffles me about Valentine’s Day is the abundance of star power that it brings to the table. There are nineteen different actors and/or actresses in this flick that can potentially call themselves stars. My question simply is: How did other flicks manage successful casting while Valentine’s Day was filming? Hollywood must have gone on a thirty or some odd day vacation just so this movie could be made. You have well-known names such as Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx, Ashton Kutcher, Kathy Bates, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, George Lopez, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, Taylor Lautner and Julia Roberts among many others that are gridlocked into this hectic date flick that focuses on bad lunches and infidelity. read more
