Christina Reviews *Valentine's Day*

         Valentine's Day is a rip-off of Love, Actually.  The interconnected vignette film is a great gimmick because you don't need to worry about a cohesive, compelling storyline.  You can throw a bunch of big name actors together in one movie and watch the money roll in.

         This movie has no plot.  I know it's a romantic comedy, and so a plot would just get in the way of the sexy times, but come on.  I still don't know what the point of Taylor Swift's character was.  I'll tell you this.  I wanted to give that girl a swift kick in the pants.

        This is an OK movie to watch if you’re bored and can’t be bothered too much with character development.  When you're dealing with interconnected stories, all you've really got to work with are the characters, and the viewer is not going to give much of a damn for the characters if they don't really get to spend much time with them before they're moving on to the next batch of people they probably won't care about either.

         Maybe I'm being too harsh.  The movie obviously achieved what it set out to.  It set out to be feel-good fluff, and that it was.
