Valentine's Day

0 Stars

Some of the most racist, sexist, and downright offensive movies to human relationships that people would think of is probably in the league of Borat, Jackass, Team America: World Police, or a Lars Von Trier movie. A suggestion? Add Valentine's Day right to the top of the list.

This movie is nothing more than a gimmick of hallmark programming. After the success of He's Just Not That Into You, I can just imagine the meeting studio executives had when trying to discuss a similar spinoff. In this scenario, Studio Executive #1 will play the bad guy and Studio Executive #2 will play the good guy.

Studio Exec #1: (in regards to He's Just Not That Into You) "Ok, the Valentine's Day release date worked and so did the big cast."

Studio Exec #2: "What about the story?"

Studio Exec #1: "Doesn't matter. We just need a theme. Hmm, let's see a theme for a Valentine's Day weekend release...(pondering)"

Studio Exec #2: "I'm guessing you want to do a Valentine's Day theme."

Studio Exec #1: "That's it! With a big cast! Brilliant! And it will take place in Los Angeles so none of them will have to travel!"

Studio Exec #2: "Ok, what's the story?"

Studio Exec #1: "Did you hear anything I've just said?"

Studio Exec #2: (Sigh)

Think I'm way off on this one? Disagree all you want, but after the $60 million+ opening of Valentine's Day, the next spinoff is now confirmed, called New Year's Eve.

Studio Exec #1: "Ok, so a holiday themed movie that opens on that holiday with the same title as the holiday, works. Any ideas?

Studio Exec #2: Oh screw it, I'm broke. New Year's Eve.

Studio Exec #1: BRILLIANT!
