Julia Fitzpatrick(Jennifer Garner), an elementary school teacher, is in love with Dr Harrison Copeland(Patrick Dempsey), a divorcee. Unfortunately for Julia, Harrison will be away on a business trip to San Francisco on this day.
Edison, one of Julia’s student, orders flowers from Reed. He wanted the flowers to be delivered during the recess to his valentine. There is a girl in his class who has a crush on him.

Willy(Taylor Lautner) and Felicia(Taylor Swift) are in high school and are hopelessly in love. While Willy is a sports star, Felicia is a cheerleader.
Sean Jackson, a professional football player, is having difficulties on both personal and professional front. The newspapers are after him. He tries to deal with it with the help of his publicist Kara(Jessica Biel) and his agent Paula(Queen Latifah). A sports reporter Kelvin Moore(Jamie Foxx) closes in for a kill.
Liz(Anne Hathaway) and Jason(Topher Grace) has been dating for the past two weeks. Jason loves Liz. But Liz always has the habit of getting mysterious phone calls between their conversation.
Garry Marshall directs this movie based on a story by Katherine Fugate. The story takes places in a day – Valentine’s day – and it tells the story of many couples spanning age groups, providing different perspectives of love. The best part of the movie is how all these characters are connected together. Given the multiple characters, it is not easy to connect them all. But, the movie does not uplift itself to become an exceptional love story at any time. But it provides an interesting watch at places.
Anne Hathaway is exceptional as Liz. It is Liz’s and Jason’s love story that make you laugh and think at the end. Julia Roberts provides warmth to the character and also the movie. The rest of the performances have nothing to talk about.
It is not a bad movie. Perfect for a quiet evening where you have nothing else to do.
