Make yourself a movie
Here's a movie you won't have to impose on your Valentine… Crazy, Stupid Love is a couple's movie you'll enjoy together. In summary: Cal has just learned that his wife Emily wants a divorce. Even if he still loves her, the father of the family accepts her decision without complaining and decides to leave the house. He spends his evenings in a bar, grumbling about what is happening to him. This is where Jacob arrives, an inveterate seducer who always has the right word to make the fairer sex crack. The movie ends well, after all it's Valentine's Day!
Midnight in Paris
A second film won't be too much! Woody Allen offers you a tasty romantic comedy nominated four times for the Oscars. This is the promise of a wonderful Valentine's evening.

When the chimes strike midnight, a vehicle from yesteryear takes Gil to a bar where he meets writers and painters of the Belle Époque who left their mark on him. With its beautiful cast of good actors (and very beautiful actresses it must be said), the film will seduce you!
Listening to a movie is good…
…with popcorn is better! To celebrate Valentine's Day, add a bag of red or pink M&Ms to your popcorn and wrap it in a plastic bag tied with a pink bow. You can evenadd some melted candy as shown here. His heart will Pop! Success guaranteed!
