Valentine's Day movie guide: The good, the bad and the 'cringey'

It's officially 10 months until Christmas, Michael Bolton — self-proclaimed "undisputed king of Valentine's Day" — reminded us in a 2017 Netflix special. So in keeping with Seattle Times tradition, we're extending our holiday movie capsule reviews to Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, there's lack of diversity in films specifically about Valentine's Day, which primarily featured white leads and straight couples.

Here are seven potential offerings to choose from — whether you're snuggling in a love seat with your significant other, Telepartying a long-distance lover or celebrating alone with discounted post-Valentine's Day chocolates. Sorted by when to watch and a ratings scale of zero to five candy hearts (except we're extremely generous and incapable of not giving out candy to everyone).
