Valentine’s Day is the ultimate flick to view… precisely on Valentine’s Day. The poignant movie tracks duos and those flying solo in Los Angeles as they patch things up or call it quits nearing Valentine’s Day. As luck would dictate, the storylines of the characters interweave during the motion picture as they forge bonds and stumble upon romance. The picture presents a glimpse into affection and its various highs and lows.

The cinematic work showcased a plethora of cherished performers. The ensemble that was put together for this heartfelt holiday film encompassed Taylor Swift, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Bradley Cooper, Eric Dane, Patrick Dempsey, Héctor Elizondo, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Topher Grace, Anne Hathaway, Carter Jenkins, Ashton Kutcher, Queen Latifah, Taylor Lautner, George Lopez, Shirley MacLaine, Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts, among others.
Taylor embarked on her major motion picture launch as Felicia. She encountered Lautner while on the set of Valentine’s Day, and they briefly were an item in 2009. One of Taylor’s most well-known tracks, “Back to December,” drew inspiration from her involvement with Lautner.

Valentine’s Day was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Garry Marshall. The picture brought him back together with some of the actors he had collaborated with over the years, including Julia, Anne, and Hector. The motion picture was his second to last one prior to his passing in 2016.
The picture was also a family affair. Julia and Emma both were featured in Valentine’s Day, despite their characters never having any interaction. Julia is Emma’s relative.

Valentine’s Day was a financial triumph in 2012. The movie grossed in excess of $216 million globally. The success of the picture gave rise to a pair of quasi-sequels, New Year’s Eve and Mother’s Day. These pictures employed the same formula as Valentine’s Day but with different holidays. New Year’s Eve and Mother’s Day were also under the direction of Garry. Cast your gaze upon the all-star cast from back then and now in our gallery up above.
