Valentine's Day - 8 stars out of 10

Valentine's Day - 8 stars out of 10

You definitely know exactly what you're getting before you hit play on "Valentine's Day," but that is not necessarily a bad thing. As expected, this is a story of broken hearts, falling in love with your best friend, and loving someone for every part of them. It basically covers every aspect of love (good and bad) that one could experience so that every audience member can relate in some way. Some might complain that this movie falls short of expectations when you have a cast of (literally) 20 superstars since none of them stand out as a star; however, I think it's great that so many stars could humble themselves and take small roles to come together as a community of actors and deliver a heartwarming film. Though I won't comment on every actor in this film, it must be noted that Jennifer Garner is INCREDIBLE! This movie certainly has its moments, like the beautiful dialogue between Hector Elizondo and Shirley McLaine, Taylor Swift's reaction to the elevator kiss, and that scene between Jennifer Garner and the little boy was one of the most precious things that I've ever seen in my life! And just when you think that every facet of this story will end exactly as you expect, a 15 second scene will defy that predictability to leave you with a smile on your face and a tear in your eye.
