Review of Valentine's Day (2010) by Steve W — 22 Oct 2011
The problem with Valentine's Day is very simple: we've seen it before and after so many excellent romantic comedies in recent years, the expectations are higher. It takes more than just a bunch of big stars to propel a rom-com to quality heights; you need strong writing, good chemistry, strong direction, and a hintage of unpredictability.
That's how The Proposal, He's Just Not That Into You, The Ugly Truth, and especially (500) Days of Summer made 2009 in fact one of the greatest years for romance in a long time. Valentine's Day has its moments indeed (Anne Hathaway is hilarious), but don't expect it to be anything better than mediocre.
Simply there were too many stories and most of them with less depth than a puddle.
