The season of love is imminent, and you have two options:
a) Mope.
b) Embrace it.

Since you swore to leave self-deprecation in 2010, looks like your choice is made (sigh). But don’t reach for the heart-shaped hole punch and rose-colored cardi just yet. Releasing on DVD February 8, The Romantics puts amour in the air without activating your gag reflex.

In the generational dramedy, an eclectic group of chums (an all-star cast including Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel, and Anna Paquin) gathers to celebrate the wedding of two of their own. When old feelings between the groom and maid of honor are rekindled, alliances are tested, proving nothing complicates friendship like love.

And that’s an idea you can cozy up to — holiday or not.

Sneak a peek at The Romantics, then visit The Sweet Shop to enter to win essentials for a love-filled night in and download exclusive Valentine’s Day cards.
