The 2010 film 'Valentine's Day' is set in which U.S. city?

The 2010 film Valentine’s Day is set in Los Angeles.

The romantic comedy follows multiple couples and single characters whose stories intersect across one Valentine’s Day in the city. Its plot moves through recognizable Los Angeles settings and draws on the city’s entertainment industry, workplaces, hotels, schools, and residential neighborhoods.

Los Angeles is more than a backdrop in the film: its sprawling geography helps connect otherwise separate storylines. Characters travel between jobs, restaurants, homes, airports, and public events, creating the ensemble structure typical of the movie. The production was also filmed extensively in and around Los Angeles.

A common confusion is assuming the film is set in New York because Valentine’s Day is often associated with a city-centered romantic-comedy tradition. Another mix-up comes from individual characters’ travel plans and references to other places. Those moments do not change the film’s principal setting: the interconnected stories are rooted in Los Angeles.
