It’s Christmas so what better time to throw out a trailer for Valentine’s Day, the Titanic of rom-coms? Ensemble casting has worked in the past, but I dare you to imagine a film more stuffed to the gills with stars than this one. It’s as if the casting director looked up the top 20 searches on Google and job done.
If Love Actually tickled your fancy then it appears Warner Brothers’ film will delight, and as long as director Garry Marshall, whose reputation has risen and fallen on his handling of some of the biggest collisions of rom and com in the last few decades, can handle the cross cutting narratives and potential overdose of twee then you’ll be in for a treat.
Synopsis: Valentine’s Day follows the intertwining storylines of a group of Los Angelinos as they find their way through romance over the course of one Valentine’s Day
Directed by veteran film maker Garry Marshall, the film features a star studded ensemble cast including Jessica Alba (“Fantastic Four”), Jessica Biel (“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”), Bradley Cooper (“The Hangover”), Eric Dane (TV’s “Grey’s Anatomy”), Patrick Dempsey (“Enchanted”), Hector Elizondo (the Princess Diaries” films), Academy Award® Winner Jamie Foxx (“Ray”), Jenifer Garner (“Juno”), Topher Grace (“Spider-Man 3”), Academy Award® nominee Anne Hathaway (“Rachel Getting Married”), Carter Jenkins (“Aliens in the Attic”) Ashton Kutcher (“What Happens In Vegas”), Academy Award® Nominee Queen Latifah (“Chicago”), George Lopex (“Beverly Hills Chihuahua”), Academy Award® Winner Shirley MacLaine (“Terms Of Endearment”), Emma Roberts (“Hotel for Dogs”), Academy Award® Winner Julia Roberts (“Erin Brockovich”) and Bryce Robinson (“Marley and Me”)
New Line Cinema presents “Valentine’s Day,” to be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
