Some of the individual stories are pretty good, but it ultimately overreaches. Would have been a much better movie if they'd dropped about half of the plotlines and focused in a little more. That said, the Jennifer Garner restaurant scene was fantastic.

Fuck HBO for making me watch this... absolutely no redeeming qualities.

What depth there is seems lost by being spread across several dozen increasingly cliche and agonizing miniplots of doofuses, douchebags and asshats in "love". So much effort spent trying to be hip and appeal to every demographic imanginable while at the same time a cynical and condescending dismissal of the holiday it names itself after. From the same city that produced "Casablanca", comes the best argument yet that romance is dead.

total shit, I'm sad i wasted my time and money watching this. nothing is relevant, all over the place, main stream bullshit.

cool cast and good flow of story. http://wordylilchacha.blogspot.com/2010/02/valentines-dayhas-amazing-twists.html

Taylor Swift....

#11#, popcorn, story, (casting).

It wasn't godawful or anything but it was a little bland. There were a few good parts but some of it just didn't work. There are better rom-coms out there so I'm not going to recommend it... though you could also do a lot worse.

Sadly enjoyable I guess.

a cool cast simply because of all the stars they got in one movie. i loved the way all of the plotlines intertwined.

Taylor's swift acting was so bad it made me actually appreciate her music. Waste of (some) good actors

Too many characters gets confusing after a while, don't take it seriously and you'll have fun. At least i had, my mom liked it too (yes my valentine :)) so no problem. Nothing more then that though.

I want to hate Garry Marshall's cash-in, and all the stars that took part in this smash-and-grab job of a movie, but it isn't the worst thing I've ever witnessed. Granted, none of these characters have any depth, and some truly great stars go completely wasted (Roberts, Bates, MacLaine, Foxx), but the film is 'okay' for its intended audience. I found it completely forgettable and shallow, as all these actors make up about six minutes of screen time each, but endurable nonetheless.

There's about 30 different characters in this 2hr film. You need a freakin' scorecard to keep track with what the heck is going on. It makes it impossible for you to understand any one character. I will say (can't believe I'm about to say this) but Taylor Swift was one of the bright spots. The whole thing with the stuffed bear is funny. Gardner & Biel with the bat is good too. But trying to connect these characters within the story will make my head explode, and that's the problem.

Largely relies on stale gender stereotypes and tired comedy routines that don't elicit much laughter.
