valentine's day

this movie is kind of a mess, but kind of sweet too. taking the example of 'love actually' and its multiple stories about different types of love, this movie follows even more stories and features just about everyone in hollywood who has ever made a romantic comedy. its kind of meant to be the culmination of every rom-com ever made, it seems. the main story the movie follows is ashton kutcher, a flower shop owner, as he is about to propose to his girlfriend. his flower deliveries are what ties together the rest of the many many story lines. its not the best romantic comedy ever, but by sheer volume, its not bad. instead of just taking one or two of the cliches these movies tend to follow, this one packs them all into one neat little package for us! misunderstandings? check. love triangles? check. men behaving badly? check. women obsessed? check. a race to save the relationship? check. and these arent necessarily even in the same story! i cant say i would recommend this movie, but if you are going to watch a romantic comedy, you could do much worse.
