The movie Valentine’s Day was released on Feb. 12. The commercial industry puts an incredible amount of pressure on guys to buy their women something nice and plan a very romantic day for their ladies. In the same twist it makes women feel pressure to find that “right” guy. Lead by a star studded cast, with such notables as Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Kathy Bates, Taylor Lautner, and many more, Valentine’s Day follows the story lines of several couples during this special holiday.
As the movie plays out the connections the cast of characters have with each other are revealed, one way or another. Some find romance; others are not as lucky as their relationships come to a bitter end. Everyone in this movie is looking for advice on how to keep their true loves.
Upon leaving this movie I could not help but be filled with the Valentine’s Day “spirit” so to speak. I really liked how all of the storylines intertwined, and that generally everyone found someone in the end. It gave testament to the old saying “there is someone out there for everyone.” In my opinion I thought it was a good date movie, the movie theatre was packed with couples of all ages. It was exactly what this year’s Valentine’s Day needed to make it extra special.
