Last weekend my best friend and I went to see a movie at Roosevelt Raceway Theatre. The movie was called Valentine's Day. The picture had a ton of my favorite actors and
actresses, such as Julie Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Gartner. The movie was a about a guy named Reed, that proposes to his girlfriend, Morley, on the morning of Valentine's Day. Morley agrees to marry him but refuses to wear the engagement ring he bought her. So excited and happy about his future with his new fiance, he tells his friends he's getting married and they are all shocked. They don't believe him when he tells them she said, "yes," because secretly they don't think they are a good couple.

The story is funny, romantic and has an outstanding cast! If you want to find out how it ends...you'll just have to see it in the theatre or wait until it comes out on DVD!
