Valentine’s Day star jam hurts its plot and heart
The review decries the film’s 21 star performers as cluttered for a thin story. It cites lack of depth, uneven casting including absence of Asians, and a repetitive ensemble romance structure. The piece likens the cast to a traffic jam and suggests the movie plays as a first date revulsion rather than a true romance.
