Jason (Grace) has started dating Liz (Hathaway) but doesn’t realise that she is a sex line worker, and then she turns up at his workplace. Holden Wilson (Cooper) meets Captain Kate Hazeltine (Roberts) on a long haul flight. And teenagers Alex (Jenkins) and Grace (Roberts) decide to lose their virginity together on Valentine’s Day.

This ensemble comedy is exactly what you’d expect from an ensemble comedy, and delivers exactly what viewers will want. Some of the stories are better than others, and Ashton Kutcher and his flower shop seems to be the link between most of the storylines so if you don’t like him then steer clear. Otherwise, enjoy the romantic mindless fun.
