Who doesn’t remember the star packed film about the one special day reserved for love? It’s called the “Valentine’s Day” movie and with the occasion fast approaching, a lot of people are searching once again what Hollywood history calls as the largest ensemble cast in a film feature. Think of it as a romantic version of “The Expendables” and instead of actions stars, you got one of the quirkiest set of actors and actresses excelling in drama, romance and comedy.
The list of stars in the Valentine’s Day movie includes the following: Julia Roberts, Bradly Cooper, Jessica Alba, Patrick Dempsey, Ashton Kutcher, Alex Williams, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Hector Elizondo, George Lopez, Kathy Bates, Carter Jenkins, Emma Roberts, Bryce Robinson, Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift, Eric Dane, Shirley MacLaine, Topher Grace, Queen Latifah.
However, even with the star studded cast, critics weren’t pleased with the movie. Rottentomatoes.com only gave the movie 17%. Most of the critics cited the numerous sub plots crammed into 2 hours of the movie. However, the world doesn’t agree and the movie grossed $213 million worldwide.

The Valentine’s Day Plot Summary
Writing about the whole plot can be a bit taxing especially since the movie has nearly a dozen sub plots. Rather than wasting bytes in telling what the movie is, you’d better watch it instead. However, be prepared at the whirling plots. Some of them can be entertaining such as Eric Dane’s sub plot and the not meant to be relationship of Jamie Foxx and Jessica Biel. There were some lukewarm plots such as Julia Robert’s encounter. There were some bland plots because of the lack of development such as Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift’s “enamored” couple plot but the movie was brought back in by the singles plot including Queen Latifah’s “snap”.
Swirl it altogether and the Valentine’s Day Movie is a mixture of different love stories that happen on Valentine’s Day.
