Julia Roberts Headlines All-Star Cast For ‘Valentine’s Day’

The rom-com is back! (I like car chases, stunts, and explosions as much as the next person, but sometimes you need a good laugh, and it needs to be at a joke that doesn’t involve bodily humor!)

Garry Marshall, who directed ‘Pretty Woman’ way back when, is set to direct ‘Valentine’s Day,’ an ensemble cast headlined by ‘Pretty Woman’ star Julia Roberts. In addition to Julia, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper, and Ashton Kutcher are in talks to star. The movie consists of five intersecting stories that play out on, you guessed it, Valentine’s Day.

A scorecard may be needed to keep track of the story lines:

– Roberts is an army officer on leave from Iraq on a flight to
L.A. Cooper, on the same flight, is a gay man whose lover is a
closeted football player.

– Kutcher is an owner of a flower shop who proposes to his
girlfriend (Alba), only to realize he is in love with his close
friend, played by Garner, who discovers her boyfriend is
married.

– MacLaine plays Roberts’ mother, a happy retiree who reveals to
her husband a long-ago affair.

– Hathaway is an assistant working at the biggest talent agency in
town and dating a mailroom assistant; Biel is a publicist unlucky
in love (is there any other kind?) who has no date on Valentine’s
Day.

Major roles still to be cast are the gay football player,
MacLaine’s husband, the mailroom worker, a talent agent and a young
boy looking to give his crush some flowers. “

With roles still left to cast, who knows who will turn up in it?!

If this is half as good as ‘Love Actually’ then I’ll be happy. Does this sound good to you?
