I rented 'Valentines Day' last year on....a little obvious...Valentines Day! My boyfriend and I decided we weren't going to attempt to find a table at a restaurant so stayed in with a takeaway, bottle of wine and a film. I thought getting a chick flick may be asking a little much of my other half but the reviews of the film made it sound OK.

The casting is impressive! To name but a few:-
Jessica Alba
Patrick Dempse
Jessica Biel
Bradley Cooper
Kathy Bates
Jennifer Garner
Julia Roberts

The basis of this film is several stories intertwined with one another - think an American 'Love Actually'.
Some of the stories are stronger than others. My personal favourite is Liz Curran (played by Anne Hathaway), who plays a sex line operator trying to hide her job from the handsome Jason Morris (played by Topher Grace). Their relationship is filled with humour and chemistry. There are a few stories that really pull at the heart strings, then a minute late make you laugh. Some of the stories are a little weaker but all mix in well together.

My favourite character is Kara Monahan (played by Jessica Biel) who hates Valentines Day with a vengance and even holds a yearly anti Valentines Day party. Jessica Biel is so funny in this role as she fights off Valentines Day as best she can.

I loved this film and have since brought it, but my other half fell asleep within 15 minutes of the start. He has since watched it and wasn't very keen. I think its definatly one for the girls!
