History Film / ValentinesDay

The movie definitely veers into ChickFlick territory, but the all-star actors give credible performances to prevent it from becoming too [[TastesLikeDiabetes saccharine]], and the film's various allusions to its actors and its awareness of various RomCom tropes make it highly enjoyable.

Marshall followed this up with a pair of {{Sequel}}s[=/=]{{Spiritual Successor}}s, ''Film/NewYearsEve'' (2011) and ''Mother's Day'' (2016).

Nobody's Valentine's Day quite goes as planned. The flowers don't always reach their intended target; some relationships end, while others [[IncrediblyLamePun blossom]].

%% * YourCheatingHeart

* AdvertisedExtra: Good lord, TaylorSwift and TaylorLautner. A huge chunk of the advertising for this movie had "starring Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner" and a good chunk of the time didn't even mention any of the other actors in the film (and their then RealLife romance didn't help matters). The two have maybe three scenes in the film and are pretty extraneous.

* CastingGag: Creator/EmmaRoberts as the babysitter of [[spoiler:Creator/JuliaRoberts's]] character's son.
