If you want to use Valentine's Day to plant seeds of distrust between you and a partner,
I might suggest Ruben Ostlund's “Force Majeure.”
The plot revolves around a family on a ski trip in the French Alps.
The sourness in Albert Brooks’s “Modern Romance” starts from its very opening scene, a painfully awkward breakup
Brooks’s character Robert Cole compares the “no-win” situation of his relationship with Mary Harvard (Kathryn Harrold) to “Vietnam.”
Ostensibly, the rest of “Modern Romance” is about Robert and Mary finding their way back to one another after Robert quickly
But Brooks is far too neurotic and cynical for it to be as simple as that.
“Modern Romance” is essentially a (very funny) portrait of a man spiraling over a relationship he tells us in the first minutes of the movie is doomed.
Many British bloggers and online critics described Valentine's Day as "an American copycat version of Love Actually"
focusing on how Valentine's Day, like Love Actually, has an all-star cast whose characters' storylines intertwine with one another.
