The Big Picture When thinking about the very best rom-com couples, the list of contenders is very long. There's no shortage of iconic characters haphazardly falling in love — we, as a society, love nothing more than watching the people on our screens find their way to each other, no matter the difficulties.
Liz and Jason Face an Unexpected Hurdle in 'Valentine's Day' We meet Liz and Jason on, of course, Valentine's Day, waking up together after a very successful date. The pair have been dating for only a few weeks, but things seem to be going well, and the two's sweet and playful chemistry wins the viewers over from the very first scene.
Throughout the film, we see how hard it is for Liz to juggle her daily life with these deeply steamy calls: at the office, in a hotel lobby, on a random street outside. Valentine's Day, she later explains, is her busiest day of the year. Meanwhile, Jason realizes he had completely forgotten about the holiday, and assumes it's the reason why Liz was upset to begin with. He plans a fancy, romantic date for that evening, which Liz ultimately runs out of to pick up a call .
All in all, Liz and Jason aren't given much screen time, but it's maybe because of their smaller roles that the writers felt they could play a bit more with their story. The bigger arcs in Valentine's Day felt much more predictable, and in a way, much more generic.
