Garry Marshall is quite a powerhouse in Hollywood. His voice is as distinctive as Darth Vader and his movies ain't too shabby either. Now he's come forward with the charming rom-com Valentine's Day.
The star-studded film conerns of many lovers, ranging from Topher Grace to Taylor Swift to George Lopez, finding the troubles of being a couple such as being married too long (look no further than the coupe played by Hector Elizondo and Shirley MacLaine) to friends having secret jobs.
The film is much wittier than the rpeutation seems to precede it. It's the first film in a while to really get to the core of a relationship. Due to this, the film seems to be a tad bit funnier than it's uglier crowd like Bride Wars (which Anne Hathaway also starred in) and The Ugly Truth.
Though some characters could (and perhaps in hindsight should) be cut, it's still a monstrously funny film that will have you in the aisles long after it's done.
Rating: 7.9 out of 10 or B+
