The heart is the symbol of love and thus the symbol of Valentine s day, our day to celebrate romantic love.
Critics often speak of a bit player stealing the scene in a movie.
I think least successful portions of the film. Maybe it was the fact that so many of the other characters in the film shared a heart, for what really worked in this film were the many varieties of love and human relationships featured. Somehow Bonnie Hunt, coauthor, director, and actress in the movie, has managed to weave all these elements of life into one terrific whole. The movie is filled with side splitting funny scenes and startlingly thoughtful lines. In this movie, the romance has a lovely rhythm that involves restraint and the support of friends and family.
