Review

Valentine’s Day’s shameless commercialism continues with its yearly visits of absurdity. One day in the year gets dedicated to that special someone you love. This year, however, it has also brought a star studded romantic comedy by the same name.

The movie follows a flimsy plotline and tries to squeeze in as much star power as it can without actually using any of it. It feels as if a movie exec decided to jump on the Valentine’s Day band wagon and cash in on another day when people blindly spend money they don’t have.

There are a few small laughs provided by a ditsy Taylor Swift, a raunchy Anne Hathaway along with the ever poised Julia Roberts but never takes it further.

Although the love fest will be pelted by critics everywhere it will make the perfect date movie for Valentine’s Day. Most of the audience will be too absorbed in their lover’s eyes to notice that they’ve paid to watch countless clichés rolled into two hours of dull film.
