Valentine's Day

On a day filled with roses, chocolates, and romantic gestures, florist Reed Bennett (Ashton Kutcher) takes a leap of faith by proposing to his girlfriend Morley (Jessica Alba). The surprise announcement leaves his closest friends Alphonso (George Lopez) and Julia Fitzpatrick (Jennifer Garner) stunned, as they had always harbored doubts about the couple's compatibility. Morley's sudden change of heart later that day sends Reed reeling, with Alphonso's words of caution echoing in his mind: "We knew it was only a matter of time before this happened." As Reed struggles to come to terms with the unexpected turn of events, a chance encounter on an airplane brings together two souls who are about to embark on their own journeys. Captain Kate Hazeltine (Julia Roberts), a dedicated U.S. Army officer, finds solace in the charming company of Holden Bristow (Bradley Cooper), a charismatic newcomer to Los Angeles. As they engage in lively banter, play a game of backgammon, and share humorous anecdotes, a strong bond forms between them. When the plane touches down in LA, Kate faces a lengthy wait for her taxi, but Holden's generous offer of his sleek limousine provides a luxurious solution - allowing her to make the most of her precious one-day leave before returning to military duty. As Reed navigates the complexities of love and heartbreak, Kate and Holden's serendipitous meeting sets them on a path that will take them on a journey of self-discovery, new beginnings, and the thrill of unexpected connections.

As Julia's affections for Dr. Harrison Copeland continue to blossom, she finds herself blissfully unaware of his marital status to Pamela (Katherine LaNasa). The revelation comes when Harrison orders flowers not only for his wife but also for his mysterious new flame, Julia (Jennifer Garner), sending her heart into a whirlwind of confusion and intrigue. In an attempt to surprise him and heed Reed's earlier advice, Julia books a last-minute flight to San Francisco, believing it's just the ticket to rekindle their romance. However, Reed catches wind of Julia's plan and hastily intercepts her at the airport, pleading with her to reconsider and spare herself the impending heartache.

Undeterred by Reed's warning, Julia boards the plane, only to arrive at the hospital where Harrison claimed he'd be attending a business meeting. Her persistence leads her to inquire about his whereabouts, but an unexpected twist lies in store as the nurses at the counter reveal the truth: Harrison is indeed married. As if that wasn't enough, they also provide her with intel on his plans to dine with his wife at a local eatery that evening.

With her world turned upside down, Julia seeks solace by donning a waitress uniform and landing a job at the very same restaurant where she'll soon confront Harrison and his better half. The ensuing scene is nothing short of chaotic as Julia returns the sentimental toy Harrison had given her earlier that day, setting off a chain reaction of events that will leave both Pamela's suspicions piqued and Julia's heart shattered.

Meanwhile, back in their elementary school classroom, one of Julia's students, Edison (Bryce Robinson), has been quietly working on a special surprise for his teacher. With a thoughtful gesture, he orders flowers to be delivered to her, only to have them delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. Instead of being disappointed, Julia suggests that Edison redirect the bouquet to a classmate who's harboring a secret crush on him, a kind-hearted gesture that ultimately brings joy to all involved.

As Edison's babysitter, Grace (Emma Roberts), prepares to take a crucial step in her romantic journey with boyfriend Alex (Carter Jenkins), an unexpected twist unfolds when her mother stumbles upon Alex, naked and strumming his guitar in Grace's room, rehearsing a heartfelt serenade written specifically for her. Meanwhile, Edison's grandparents, Edgar (Hector Elizondo) and Estelle (Shirley MacLaine), are grappling with the challenges of their long-standing marriage, which is put to the test when Estelle confides in Edgar about an illicit affair she had with one of his business associates while he was away. Despite her deep regret for the transgression, Edgar's anger and hurt run deep, leaving a profound impact on their relationship.

In the midst of this turmoil, Grace's high school friends, Willy (Taylor Lautner) and Felicia (Taylor Swift), are basking in the joy of newfound love, having vowed to wait until they're ready to take their romance to the next level. As Valentine's Day approaches, Willy presents Felicia with a plush white teddy bear that becomes her constant companion, while she reciprocates his affection by gifting him a gray running t-shirt adorned with the number 13 for good luck. Their sweet gesture doesn't go unnoticed, as they're featured in a news segment showcasing their commitment to each other.

In another corner of this complex web of relationships, Sean Jackson (Eric Dane), a closeted gay professional football player, is grappling with the impending end of his career, confiding in his trusted publicist Kara (Jessica Biel) and agent Paula (Queen Latifah). As they deliberate his next move, Kara finds herself drawn to sports reporter Kelvin Moore (Jamie Foxx), who's been dispatched by his producer Susan (Kathy Bates) to cover the holiday. The unlikely duo shares a mutual disdain for Valentine's Day, finding solace in each other's company.

In this tapestry of intertwined stories, Paula has brought new life to her agency with the arrival of Liz (Anne Hathaway), a bright and ambitious receptionist who's secretly moonlighting as a phone sex operator. Her revelation sends Jason (Topher Grace), a humble mailroom clerk, reeling as he struggles to reconcile his feelings for her with the moral implications of her nocturnal profession. As tensions rise, Jason ultimately finds the strength to forgive Liz and recommit to their relationship, inspired by Edgar's remarkable capacity for forgiveness in the face of Estelle's confession.

As Sean's bold declaration resounds across national television, Holden (his long-time lover) returns to his side. Meanwhile, Kate makes her way back home to reunite with her son Edison, their hearts filled with warmth and love. Elsewhere, Willy seals the night with a tender kiss as he drops off Felicia after a romantic date. Kelvin's news studio becomes the unlikely backdrop for a blossoming romance between him and Kara, whose passion ignites as they steal glances at each other. Alfonso savors a quiet evening with his wife, Grace, as Alex agrees to maintain their physical intimacy on a need-to-know basis. In a poignant display of devotion, Edgar and Estelle reenact their wedding vows in a sun-drenched theater, their lips meeting in a tender kiss that speaks volumes about the depth of their love. As the evening wears on, Jason returns to Liz, and they decide to nurture their bond while keeping things simple and uncomplicated. Morley's peaceful stroll with her Border collie is interrupted only by her attempts to reach Reed, the man who will soon become a significant part in Julia's life. As the curtain closes on this tender tale of love and connection, Julia and Reed take their first steps together, their hearts beating as one.
