Valentine’s Day

Chick Flick, Comedy
3.5 stars
Fun movie - better than I expected. Several interrelated storylines intersect as the film unfolds on Valentine’s Day. Ashton Kutcher is one of the central characters who owns a small flower shop in L.A. Jennifer Garner plays his best friend and Jamie Foxx plays a newscaster covering the goings-on on the romantic day. My favorite characters were the older ones, including Shirley MacLaine who is married to Hector Elizondo and also George Lopez as a friend of Kutcher’s. The only really silly character was Jessica Biel as a neurotic sports agent whom we are supposed to believe goes dateless on Valentine’s every year. Fun, frivolous date movie.
