Dave offers his take on some recent romantic comedies he tried to watch with his wife around Valentine's Day, and considers changes the film industry in light of the pandemic, the rise of at-home streaming, the decline of the movie star's drawing power at the box office, the dominance of "event" franchises, and the increasing costliness of theater going for average working people. Movies reviewed include: The Lost Island with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum; Ticket to Paradise with George Clooney and Julia Roberts; Shotgun Wedding with Jennifer Lopez, and Marry Me, also with J Lo and Owen Wilson; Meet Cute with Kaley Cuoco and Pete Davidson; and Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher.
