Valentine date movie bet because there is cute and semi-mushy romance but also humor, action, mystery and danger that both guys and girls can get into.
For girls, if you’ve ever had a boyfriend trying to boss you around and run your life, that’s a kind of abuse. Katie’s journey back to love and life from physical and mental abuse is an inspiring tale. If you haven’t read the Nicholas Sparks novel on which the movie is based, you are in for a couple of very big story and character twists that are fun and entertaining although you might “guess” them.
