Valentine's Day (dir. Garry Marshall)

Throughout, I was imagining how the script was written. Which was slightly annoying but it is interesting knowing I have an idea about that sort of thing now.

The cast was impressive but I wouldn't say they all played their best roles. With two simultaneous twists, which I thought worked really well. It involved two characters getting to know each other throughout the film and getting closer towards the end, then suddenly they spin off in two separate directions into scenarios which were built up in different storylines alongside their one.- Very unexpected but I did work it out beforehand (go me). Much like Love Actually and He's Just Not That Into You - in regards to the romance and the multiple storylines with various minor links and interactions. The entire film represented the one day, an interesting structure.

I thought Ashton Kutcher was very good in it and the children were ridiculously cute. Apart from that and the older couple, the acting was fairly mediocre.

It wasn't necessarily a great film but it was ok.
