Historias de San Valentín

Valentine's Day begins in an excited and joyful spirit, everyone is looking forward to the evening, waking up next to their loves and enjoying the Day of Love. The positive introduction really gets everyone in a great mood, but as various storylines begin to complicate or clarify, the pace starts to drag considerably. Those who did not hesitate are high school students (especially Taylor Swift, who still pleasantly surprised during her prime) and seniors, who elegantly head towards the old-fashioned conclusion. However, among adults in their productive age and at the center of the action, things occasionally drag considerably. Whether it's the incomprehensible Jessica Alba, overplayed Jessica Biel, or confused Jennifer Garner (I know that romantic comedies are also about exaggeration, but all of this cannot be done in just one day, even with that exaggeration). Those who gain points are, of course, the radiant Eric Dane, the charmingly unobtrusive Julia, or Patrick McLiar Dempsey. Perhaps it is a pity that Valentine's Day, after considering all the pros and cons, ultimately became a clear average. If the movie had ended in disaster, I could consider it a mistake. This way, considering the high expectations, it is just a huge disappointment. (19.02.2010)

So many stars together, wow. It's a fact that I couldn't get into it at first and got slightly caught up in the plot. Fortunately though, I knew the strong majority of the cast so I got my bearings after a while. The ones I liked the most here were Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Garner. The rest of the cast was also classy, but didn't particularly surprise me. The movie reminded me slightly of Love Actually and He’s Just Not That Into You...a little bit of everything. Only there were a few silly scenes... SPOILER ALERT!!! (for example: When A. Kutcher convinces the airport employee to sell him a plane ticket. He flatly refuses. Ashton says that the woman he wants to marry is like sunshine and suddenly the airport employee gives Kutcher the ticket, for free). (29.10.2010)

Como ya mencioné en Půlnoční polibek, esta película, incluso su título, invita a verla junto a la persona que amas y, dado que es una trama bastante entrelazada al estilo de Lásky nebeské, no dudo en darle la calificación más alta. Quiero destacar a los actores Ashton Kutcher, Anne Hathaway y Jamie Foxx. (17.02.2010)

Unfortunately, it's classic Garry Marshall from his later years of filmmaking. He emphasized having a lot of stars appear in the film, and Hector Elizondo, but the stories themselves are just geared towards having that classic happy ending and being pleasing. There is nothing that surprises, nothing that stands out, and nothing that really catches the eye. (14.06.2017)
