Seven Valentine’s films for seven Valentine’s moods

Caution: If your belief in love 
is fragile, don’t watch “Blue 
Valentine” this V-Day. This self 
proclaimed “love story” is known, 
by both those who have and 
haven’t seen it, for chewing up 
hopeless romantics and spitting 
them out on the other side with a 
new meaning of “hopeless.” The 
film follows two lovers, Cindy 
(Michelle Williams, “My Week 
with Marilyn”) and Dean (Ryan 
Gosling, “La La Land”), through 
the rise of their courtship and 
the dissolution of their marriage 

— 
intercutting 
between 
the 
respective periods throughout. 
The movie thrives on the painfully 
realistic and intimate moments 
it paints between the two leads. 
When Cindy and Dean first meet, 
their love seems plucked from 
the pages of a Nicholas Sparks 
romance without the cloying 
sappiness. In contrast, the jumps 
forward in time to the worn-down 
shells of the married couple show 
the other side of the spectrum, 
portraying in painstaking detail 
what lost love looks like. What 

sets “Blue Valentine” apart from 
other sad love stories like it is the 
total lack of idealization — even 
in the honeymoon phase, Cindy 
and Dean encounter hiccups that 
are present in real relationships, 
but would be left out in other 
films. With its authentic dialogue 
and 
compelling 
storyline 
— 
with the bonus of a stellar 
soundtrack — “Blue Valentine” is a 
knockout, both cinematically and 
emotionally speaking. 
—Sofia Lynch, Daily TV/New 
Media Editor

If You’re Looking to Cry: ‘Blue Valentine’ 

“Love, Rosie” is a rom-com that 
I literally cannot stop watching, 
one that I queue up again the 
second it ends. It is a stunning and 
uniquely hilarious film following 
the lives of Rosie (Lily Collins, 
“To the Bone”) and Alex (Sam 
Claflin, “Me Before You”), best 
friends who are obviously deeply 
in love but who seem to keep 
missing each other. The chemistry 
between Collins and Claflin is 
insane — both are sincere, quirky 
and beautiful people, whose love 
comes from a place of genuine 
affection that withstands time 
and space. Their lifelong love is a 
specific kind of touching unreality 

that is perfect fodder for rom-
com obsessives. The progression 
of their relationship is long and 
gradual, but the film is fast-paced 
and incredibly sharp, keeping you 
hooked to the winding hesitations 
and near-misses of the characters. 
“Love, Rosie” leans into the 
tropes 
of 
romantic 
comedies 
without being sticky, and uses an 
unexpected brand of weird comedy 
that makes cliché scenes fun and 
hilarious — there is a surprising 
number of different wet sounds in 
this movie and I love it. The movie’s 
bright colors, punchy music and 
tight editing create a tone of bubbly 
effervescence 
characteristic 
of 

great contemporary rom-coms. 
The meandering feel of unrequited 
love is never boring or frustrating 
— rather, you can’t help but love 
two characters who are genuinely 
good people and wait through 
heartwrenching obstacles for them 
to find their way to each other. Not 
to mention both Claflin and Collins 
are literally too beautiful to look at, 
and Claflin really knows how to 
wear a chunky sweater. This movie 
falls perfectly into the subgenre of 
addicting movies that make you 
floatingly happy and crushingly 
depressed at the same time.

If You’re in Love with Your Best Friend: ‘Love, Rosie’ 

The Weinstein Company

“The Princess Bride” is one of 
the great love stories of the 20th 
century. No, it’s not a romance 
in the tradition of “Romeo and 
Juliet” or other more standard 
love stories. It’s a grand adventure 
filled with action, fighting, escapes, 
chases, true love and miracles. It’s 
a film that focuses on the power 
of love in all of its forms, from the 
grandfather reading the story to his 
grandson in the same way he was 
read the story when he was young, 
to the love that Inigo Montoya 
has for his big friend Fezzik, “The 
Princess Bride” is the perfect film 
to watch on Valentine’s Day — or 
really any other day.

Who can argue with Westley 
the farm boy (Cary Elwes, “The Art 
of More”) when he tells Princess 
Buttercup (Robin Wright, “House 
of Cards”) they will survive 
because “this is true love. You think 
this happens every day?” Buttercup 
believed Westley was dead for 
years and never stopped loving 
him. Westley spent the better part 
of three years at sea with pirates 
working to get back to Buttercup. 
And of course, when Westley is 
rendered (mostly) dead, it is, in 
the words of Miracle Max (Billy 
Crystal, “The Comedians”), “what 
he’s got that’s worth living for,” that 
brings him back to the land of the 

living. The answer: To love, not to 
“blave,” which as everyone knows 
means to bluff. Kill someone’s 
father in a duel? Watch out if you’ve 
got six fingers on your right hand, 
because the power of love is going 
to compel that man’s son to come 
looking for you. Is there a film that 
better encompasses our ideal of 
love than “The Princess Bride”? 
Inconceivable! If a friend, lover, 
enemy, or rodent of unusual size 
comes to you this Valentine’s Day 
asking to watch “The Princess 
Bride,” there is but one proper 
response. “As you wish.” 
—Ian Harris, Managing Video 
Editor

If You Think Love is a Fairy Tale: ‘The Princess Bride’ 

For fans of “The Office” 
or 
“The 
Mindy 
Project,” 
“The 
Giant 
Mechanical 
Man” provides a humorous, 
tender collision of these two 
beloved shows. Chris Messina 
(“Alex of Venice”) stars as 
Tim opposite Jenna Fischer 
(“Hall Pass”) as Janice in 
“The 
Giant 
Mechanical 
Man,” which was shot at the 
Detroit Zoo and premiered at 
the Tribeca Film Festival in 
2012. Tim considers himself 
a true artist, performing on 
the streets on stilts as the 
titular Giant Mechanical Man. 

When hard times hit, he takes 
a job at the zoo as a janitor. 
Janice feels purposeless in 
the world and even gets fired 
from the temp agency for 
her 
absentmindedness. 
She 
also starts to work at the zoo, 
where she and Tim form a 
friendship. Their supportive 
relationship 
and 
deep 
connection help these two lost 
souls figure out how to pursue 
their dreams and find meaning 
in their lives. Janice’s sister 
Jill (Malin Akerman, “Couples 
Retreat”) and Doug (Topher 
Grace, 
“Spider-Man 
3”), 
a 

self-absorbed self-help writer, 
offset the melancholy with 
funny caricatures of annoying 
hipsters. 
The 
chemistry 
between the leads and the 
witty script make for a great 
movie to watch on Valentine’s 
Day. Plus, the film did not get 
much commercial exposure, so 
hopefully here’s a new treat for 
rom-com lovers.

If You’re Logical About Love: ‘Giant Mechanical Man’ 

Tribeca Film Festival

“Sixteen 
Candles” 
is 
the 
quintessential 
crush-comedy 
— think romantic comedy, but 
more crushing and less romance. 
Starring the queen of ‘80s cinema, 
Molly Ringwald (“Riverdale”), as 
the fresh-faced, newly 16 Samantha 
“Sam” Baker, the John Hughes 
classic delves into the embarrassing 
and frustrating reality of teenage 
girlhood. Sam’s family forgets her 
birthday in the disorder sprung 
from her older sister Ginny’s 
approaching wedding. Meanwhile, 
Sam’s crush, the high school 
heartthrob, Jake Ryan (Michael 
Schoeffling, “Mermaids”) roams 
the halls, crushing her with every 
step he takes. And who can forget 
Sam’s dad’s iconic line: “That’s 
why they’re called crushes. If 
they didn’t hurt, they’d be called 
something else.” 

We love Sam because she is all of 
us. She is quirky and adorable and 
relatable and perfect. So why the 
hell doesn’t Jake Ryan notice her? 
Well, good news folks, he does. 
Alas, they don’t get together until 
the last minute of the movie. But 
that anticipation keeps you going. 
Jake wants Sam and Sam wants 
Jake but Sam thinks Jake is too 
good for her and Jake thinks Sam 
doesn’t even want him. Meanwhile, 
Sam’s underpants were on full 
view for the entire freshman class, 
Ginny is high on muscle relaxers, 
Farmer Ted (Anthony Michael 
Hall, “Foxcatcher”) is driving a 
Rolls Royce with a hammered 
prom queen in the front seat and 
Long Duck Dong, the exchange 
student, is stuck in a tree. But yes, 
sadly, the film promotes disastrous 
racial and gender stereotypes 

and implies all kinds of terrible 
connotations about date rape, so 
take the classic with a heavy grain 
of salt. 
Jake and Sam keep missing each 
other and it leaves you on the edge 
of your seat begging, pleading, 
hoping Jake ends the confusion 
with some large romantic gesture 
that leaves you Lloyd-Dobler-
level shook, Ferris-Bueller-level 
stunned and Judd-Nelson-fist-in-
air-level destroyed and boy does 
he deliver, in all his gorgeous glory. 
“Sixteen Candles” is the perfect 
dose of ‘80s nostalgia, so if you 
want to be literally crushed this 
Valentine’s Day, grab your finest 
acid-washed jeans, tease those 
locks and relive an era you never 
even knew.

If You’re Crushing Hard: ‘Sixteen Candles’ 

There’s a lot that goes unsaid 
in “Twilight.” Bella (Kristen 
Stewart, “Personal Shopper) and 
Edward’s 
(Robert 
Pattinson, 
“Good Time”) relationship grows 
mostly out of stolen moments: 
hands brushing under the table, 
glances across the hall, a quick 
conversation here and there. 
It’s what happens in the spaces 
between those moments that turn 
an interest into an infatuation, 
infatuation 
into 
obsession, 
obsession into love. A lot of 
people joke about “Twilight” not 
having a plot until the last 20 
minutes when the evil vampires 
come in, but I’d argue that the 
story of “Twilight” isn’t based in 

anything happening per se, but 
instead in a clear emotional arc. 
We’re following an obsession as 
it percolates in every sigh, every 
stutter and every moment of 
overly intense eye contact. All it 
takes is a look across a crowded 
cafeteria, and she’s a goner. 
There’s a lot about “Twilight” 
that’s silly and light. No comedy in 
the past 10 years can match up to 
the beautiful genius moment that 
is Kellan Lutz climbing up a tree 
as Muse’s “Supermassive Black 
Hole” plays in the background, 
but there’s something undeniably 
brilliant about the way this film 
captures the essence of teenage 
romance. 
There’s 
a 
reason 

“Twilight” 
hit 
teenage 
girls 
around the world like a freight 
train in the mid-aughts, and it’s 
because there’s a certain kind of 
recognition there. We identified 
with Bella, not just because she 
was written to be something of 
a cipher (though that’s definitely 
part of it), but because “Twilight” 
captures with near perfect clarity 
what it feels like to be a teenager 
who is obsessed. It’s been 10 years 
since the first “Twilight” was 
released, but it’s unlikely that its 
resonance will fade over time. 
Like its protagonists, “Twilight” 
will live forever.
