“Starting Valentine’s Day, we’re making war, not love. We’re armed and ready with the perfect movie. This is a picture that has it all — humor, charm, wit and action — and it plays through the roof,” Fox president of distribution Bruce Snyder said.

The other Valentine’s Day offering is Screen Gems’ drama The Vow, starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum.
