“Love is the only shocking act left on the planet.”

That line—spoken by Ashton Kutcher’s character, Reed, to Jamie Foxx’s character, Kelvin—is heard near the beginning of this motion picture, and in its first movie trailer.

Valentine’s Day” is a smorgasbord of A-list celebrities in pursuit of love at some level; many of them with each other.

Further, George Lopez’s character, Alphonso, serves as one of the film’s constant figures through the portrayal of his love for his wife, family, and closest friend, Reed.
