Those crazy star cast movies

Once upon a time, I was preparing for a very important exam in my life. I had imposed a lot of restrictions on myself then. And it was okay, because passing the exam was worth it. But then again, there is something no student, no matter how strong, can resist -  a movie which includes Anne Hatheway, Queen Latifah, Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner, Jassica Alba, Ashton Kutcher, Eric Dane, Patrick Dempsey (just to name a few) in the cast. I remember when I was telling a friend in the library that I was going to watch a movie which had all these people, one random guy stopped and asked me about it. You've probably guessed which movie I'm talking about. It was the February of 2010 and I was going to watch Valentine's Day with my sister that night.
Now, not too many movies have been made with this formula, but the ones that have, well, they have way too many things in common!!! Way too many!!! So here it goes again!

1. One lame holiday: The movies always revolve around one lame holiday! Be it Valentine's day or New Year's eve. People always talk about how Valentine's day is the day of lourve!! Or how New year's eve is symbolic for looking forward and turning over a new leaf and new beginnings yada yada yada! No one says anything about how the remaining 364 days can also be full of love, or how every day is a new day. 
2. Elaborate star cast: These movies always have so many actors!!! The who's who of tinsel town is present in the movie in some way or the other. Even for the smallest of roles and the least amount of screen time! It's a clever strategy to woo audience. Out of sooooooo many actors, what are the odds that at least one would be the favorite of the cynical person out there who wouldn't have seen the movie otherwise?
3. The regulars: These movies always have these people. ALWAYS! Ashton Kutcher, Hector Elizondo, Jessica Biel, someone from Grey's anatomy (ok...I know...that's cheating!) That bald guy and that fat guy ( I did my research...they are Larry Millar and Paul/Peter Vogt. Very small blink and miss roles...I'm awesome, so I noticed!)
4. The lack of money: I'm sure hiring so many big actors for the movie has got to burn a sizable hole in the money people's pockets. No wonder they couldn't afford script writers. So the actors go about, doing their thing, hoping it ends up becoming something sensible...that's why there are so many story lines going on. Because the actors didn't have time for sitting down and discussing one plot (obviously...sooo many busy busy actors), they decided to conduct meeting with a few actors at a time. Thus different story plots emerged and everything got added into one big bad mad movie!
5. Cheesy end credits: Don't they all have one? Bloopers, crazy dances, edited out scenes all playing while the credits role.
6. A soundtrack: Too many song happening in these movies...to a point where it would start qualifying as a Bollywood movie (an honor if you ask me!). Also, there is always 1 singer in the cast, so might as well use their talents no?

So yeah...that pretty much wraps it up. Not to mention, these movies are entertaining. On a lazy Sunday afternoon, sitting in your pyjamas with a tub of buttery pop corn when you just have nothing to do
