15 Movies for People Who Hate Valentines Day
Valentine's Day is as apt to dredge up feelings of bitterness and contempt as it is to inspire warmth and love. For every teddy bear clutching a heart-shaped box of chocolates, there is a cynic clutching a bottle of wine, for every dozen roses, a dozen haters who decry the holiday as a sham built on maudlin Hallmark clichs. It's no coincidence that the new comedy How to Be Single lands in theaters smack-dab in the middle of February, joining a crop of other movies thatcontrary to the suggestion of Netflix queues rife with romancefocus on friendship, empowerment in the absence of a partner and the kind of fun that just can't be had while weighed down with a ball and chain.
