Just got back from seeing "Valentine's Day" with my best friend. I must say, Garry Marshall knows how to make a romantic comedy. This was a circular plot where each storyline was some how connected to the others. The acting was superb, with the exception of a certain country singer. Jennifer Gardener and Ashton Kutcher were adorable as best friends who realize in the end that they are in love with each other. It was refreshing to see Patrick Dempsey in a roll that didn't remotely resemble his McSteamy status on Grey's Anatomy. Bradley Cooper was absolutely charming as always. Even though Julia Roberts' role was not the center of attention, it was still poignant role that had me in tears at the end of the movie. The other characters/actors in the movie were good as well, but none stuck as much as the ones I've already mentioned. Although, I do have to say that Eric Dane and Bradley Cooper had me squealing at the end!
I love the message that was portrayed. Love is not perfect. You have to love everything about a person, not just the things you want to love. George Lopez's character said his marriage was so successful because he married his best friend. I think this is the key to the movie's message. Everyone wants someone who understands them and cares about what they have to say. Who better to be with than your best friend?
