Valentine's Day! Fun, I'd like a seat upfront, please!

"Valentine's Day"...A love story. More or less.

Lots of famous people? Check. Super cool pop music? You know it. A story about the pressures of Valentine's Day that exists only in movie and tv? Hells yeah. Forced interracial sodomy? Possibly. The final film appearance for Burt Lancaster, 15 years after his death? Maybe. Cameos from the surviving members of the 1969 American League Western Division Champion Minnesota Twins? You didn't hear from us.

Yes, it's "Valentine's Day," the new film from Academy Award viewing director Garry Marshall. A movie so whimsically banal, you'd swear Kevin Connolly was featured.

If you loved "He's Just Not That Into You," like seriously, not joking, found yourself enjoying that movie, then you'll go crazy for "Valentine's Day." It's the story of famous people doing whacky things together (Oh my god! Julia Roberts and Bradley Cooper know each other!). Unlike other so-called "romantic comedies", you will find women giving profoundly insightful speeches about the trials and tribulations of finding love. Men will speculate about what women really want while doing manly things like moving furniture, watching the big game, and drinking beer. Kooky, wisecracking best friends will have will have bizarre theories about relationships. Hector Elizondo will show his legendary dong.

So, this Valentine's Day, why not make it "Valentine's Day." It's "Valentine's Day!" Starring:
