You've heard all the cliches before: that Valentine's Day is more about commercialism than love, that it was created by Hallmark and Hershey's, and so on. With that in mind, I can't say I was surprised to see that Hollywood finally decided to capitalize on the holiday hubbub with a romantic comedy that's brimming with stars — but unfortunately the film provides even more proof for the argument that the holiday is for suckers.
Valentine's Day has star power at every turn, chronicling the lives of a slew of people as they navigate through the "most romantic day of the year."

Audiences are smitten with Valentine's Day. Lackluster reviews couldn't stop the A-list rom-com from placing in the top spot at the box office with an intake of $52.4 million.
Other openers Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and The Wolfman earned second and third place with $31.1 million and $30.6 million respectively, making this weekend the highest grossing President's Day tally to date.

Remember Garry Marshall? Director of some beloved flicks like Pretty Woman and Beaches (and some others like Runaway Bride and Raising Helen)? Regardless of the fact that his last directorial project was that Lindsay Lohan thing, Georgia Rule, he's still one of the bigger directors in this genre.

I think how each of us feels about Valentine's Day usually depends on our particular mood at the time (read: personal relationship status). Musicians are particularly good at articulating these moods of ours, which is why many of us rely on them more than ever this time of year. So from now until Valentine's Day, I'll be posting a series of themed playlists that might capture how you're feeling about romance this year.

Ah, love. For something that can be so good, it's amazing how so very bad it can also be. And bad can turn to bitter around Valentine's Day, when the rest of the world is celebrating love's virtues just as you are in the middle of a breakup, still waiting by the phone, or figuring out how to tell someone it's over.
