After watching the trailer for Garry Marshall’s Valentine’s Day, starring everyone in Hollywood, I can safely proclaim that I liked this movie about LOVE better when it was British and revolved around Christmas, ACTUALLY.
Here are just a few of the lessons we’ve already learned from the upcoming Garry Marshall rom-com: Young adults these days consider monogamy ridiculous; dogs count as people when checking into hotels on Valentine’s Day; a vibrator joke will fail especially hard when it’s uttered by Jessica Biel and doubles as a Blackberry commercial; and most important: The line “Could you bring him some pretzels” is funny because Julia Roberts said it and then laughed. What did you learn from the Valentine’s Day trailer, P-Dubs?
there are way to many people in this movie!!!! oh well at least hector elizondo is in the movie!
I’m pretty much convinced that Hollywood churns crap like this out just to stick a thumb in the eye of everyone with an ounce of originality but just can’t get a break.
I agree, Annie. this is like the dumb cousin of Love Actually. the poor man’s LA. i bet they’ll all be speaking english (and not spanish to replace portugeuse) and there won’t be any funerals or deaths or sing-a-longs. LAME.
What’s up with Hollywood trying to pass off poorly done “remakes” as “new” movies? I already own “Love Actually” (and think it’s great, actually). I also realized that I don’t have to go see “Gamer” because I already saw it…20 years ago when it was called “The Running Man.” Sheesh!
It looks like something I’d watch on cable- but not becuase of Mr. Demi Moore.
Is this incomprehensible format as “He’s Just Not That Into You,” where there are 10 separate storylines in order to cram all those stars into the movie, and the storylines are only loosely connected to each other?
I meant “Is this the same…”
this movie looks so pointless. why make another movie like this? there was nothing appealing or original about the trailer.
I was thinking exactly that, I’m getting a bit sick of the ensemble romantic comedy genre too…
Yes thank you; it’s hard to believe they came up with something fouler and more offensive than just a regular (which means lame) romantic comedy. This looks like brainless drivel. Think about all the original, interesting films that did not get made because of this unfunny piece about wacky singletons.
The best (read: worst) part about this movie is that they came up with the title 1st and then had someone write it. I’m not making this up – the studio was like “we need a Valentine’s Day film, quick!” Also, apparently people of color don’t get to find love – there was Jamie Foxx and Hector Elizondo and a whole bunch of pretty white people. This looks awful.
Sara, not everything is racist. How do you know Jamie Foxx and Hector Elizondo “don’t find love”?? Yeesh.
Elizondo is married in the movie to the woman sitting next to him at the table. And I’m pretty sure the only reason Jamie Foxx is in it is because Queen Latifah needed a love interest. Happy?
I’m a sucker for rom-coms and will rent it anyways, looks cute, brainless and simple, just what i need after a hard day’s work!
Another movie with Julia Roberts cackling like an idiot. Pass.
this looks amazing! tho i love absolutely every movie like this…The Holiday, Notting Hill, Love Actually, The Ugly Truth…the list goes on and on! i cant wait to see it!!
Totally not funny.
Can Ashton get a new haircut soon?
I didn’t realize that “Love Actually” was a movie we were looking at as an example of a good movie. It kinda annoyed me to no end. That being said, this will too so I will prolly watch when they show it on TBS in 2011.
Yeah, seriously, they make movies like this all the time and they ALWAYS suck. (Love Actually included.)
That having been said, <3Bradley Cooper<3
Jennifer Garner…that’s all I need to get me there, give me some Garner and I’m a happy man
