Felicia | 2010
Valentine’s Day is a 2010 American romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall. It is a film filled with many stars, including but not limited to Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jamie Foxx, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, and Queen Latifah. The film follows a group of related characters in Los Angeles and their struggles with love on Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day was Taylor’s cinematic debut. She plays plays the role of Felicia, a high school student who is madly in love with her boyfriend Willy, who was played by Taylor’s then real life boyfriend Taylor Lautner. They are experiencing the freshness of new love, and have agreed to wait to have sex.
Soundtrack
The movie’s official soundtrack was released on February 9, 2010 via Big Machine Records. It includes Taylor’s song “Today Was A Fairytale“, which debuted at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, breaking a record for highest first-week sales by a female artist. Taylor’s song “Jump Then Fall” from the Platinum edition of her album Fearless (2008) was also featured on the soundtrack. In 2021, Taylor re-released both songs on her album Fearless (Taylor’s Version).
Critical Reception
Valentine’s Day was not well received by critics, the general consenus reading that the film is “eager to please and stuffed with stars, Valentine’s Day squanders its promise with a frantic, episodic plot and an abundance of rom-com cliches.” However, audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film positive reviews, with an average grade of “B” on an A+ to F scale.
Valentine’s Day is noted for sharing similarities with the British film Love Actually (which is one Taylor’s favorite movies), particularly the basic premise of multiple storylines occurring around a popular holiday, and sometimes identical subplots.
