If you’re after something easy to watch, something hopelessly clichéd and something that contains an unnerving amount of famous faces, than this is your film. Containing at least 16 household names, including everyone from Ashton Kutcher to Taylor Swift, there’s no getting away from the fact it has a pretty decent line up. The only real problem with so many characters and individual plotlines is the difficulty in connecting and identifying with them, therefore stopping yourself from becoming emotionally involved with the film.
It’s not dissimilar to ‘He’s just not that into you’ or ‘Love Actually’, however Love Actually works on so many more levels, mainly because it’s a festive favourite (and Valentine’s Day isn’t a real holiday) and has a predominantly British cast.
This is the film you’ll watch once, and then forget about, because you wouldn’t watch a Christmas film in July, so why watch a Valentine’s film in October? The chances are that by next year you’ll have forgotten this film exists, apart from when you’re bored on Wikipedia checking out people’s filmographies.
All in all? It’s a film for the girls, looking for something to use their Orange Wednesday’s on, that will keep them entertained for 125 minutes and leave them feeling perfectly content upon leaving the cinema.
I like films.
