Valentine's Day is one of those films I never saw because despite its star studded cast, I had feeling it wouldn't be good.
This is a film that focuses on several different story lines that are also somehow connected to each other.
Ashton Kutcher opens the film by proposing to his girlfriend played by Jessica Alba.
He's best friends with Jennifer Garner who is dating Patrick Dempsey's married doctor. Though she doesn't know he's married.
Jamie Foxx and Jessica Biel have some communication as she is part of a PR firm representing a quarterback played by Eric Dane and Foxx's character is trying to get the scoop so he can be taken more seriously as a sports journalist, but he and Biel end up having a romantic connection.
Anne Hathaway is scared to tell her new boyfriend played by Topher Grace that she has to work as a phone sex worker to pay off loans.
That's not even half the story lines and the majority of them don't even matter.
Despite all this, Valentine's Day is completely harmless.
Queen Latifah is funny. Eric Dane has a truly touching moment with an unexpected character and that's all there is to it.
It's meant to be a sappy film that fills you with all the sappy feelings and it does exactly that.
