If you aren’t diving into February celebrating pink, candy, and all things romance, are you doing the month of Valentine’s Day right? February’s movie slate definitely isn’t afraid to both celebrate and skewer the holiday. Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) searches for love and her new self in the fourth entry in this rom-com series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. The Black Phone and Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson offers an unconventional love story (maybe?) in his action-horror thriller The Gorge on Apple TV+. If you think romance is scary, then Heart Eyes takes a murderous approach to romance as a Valentine’s Day-themed slasher horror, and director Osgood Perkins follows up Longlegs with his adaptation of Stephen King‘s short story The Monkey.

In less grisly news, Academy Award winners Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose get their John Wick on in Love Hurts. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) picks up the shield in his first Captain America feature film, Captain America: Brave New World. Two cast members from Netflix’s The Witcher and one from the video game series lend their talents to an animated adult movie, and if you need a cartoon film suitable for all ages, look no further than The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.

‘Kinda Pregnant’

Lonely and longing for a family, Lainy (Amy Schumer) pretends to be pregnant. Even though the deception wins her the attention she wants, is all the effort worth it?

‘Love Hurts’

Retired assassin-turned-realtor Marvin Gable’s (Ke Huy Quan) past catches up with him when his estranged brother (Daniel Wu) wants revenge for a job gone wrong. Good thing Marvin’s past also includes Rose (Ariana DeBose), an ally who happens to be as deadly as Marvin.

‘Heart Eyes’

The Heart Eyes Killer, a serial murderer who attacks couples every year on Valentine’s Day, targets coworkers Ally (Olivia Holt) and Jay (Mason Gooding) — even though they’re not together. That’s one deadly misunderstanding.

‘The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep’

Geralt (Doug Cockle from CD Projekt’s The Witcher video games), Jaskier (Joey Batey), and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) reunite to defend a village from menacing ocean creatures in this animated stand-alone spin-off of Netflix’s The Witcher series.

‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’

Four years after losing her husband Mark (Colin Firth), Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger), widowed and mother to two precocious children, tries to re-enter the awkward, crowded dating scene.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’

Sam Wilson tries to protect the newly elected President Ross (Harrison Ford) and fend off an upcoming war with new, unknown enemies.

Snipers Levi (Miles Teller) and Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy) form a forbidden bond while guarding opposite ends of a mountain gorge and keeping the mysterious creature within from emerging.

‘The Monkey’

Estranged brothers Hal and Bill (Theo James playing twins) reluctantly agree to destroy the murderous, possessed toy that haunted their childhood.

‘Last Breath’

An accident strands diver Chris Lemons (Finn Cole) at the bottom of the ocean with limited oxygen, but his crew refuse to leave without him. Last Breath is based on a true story and the 2019 documentary of the same name.

‘The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie’

Just because it’s been a couple of years since the Looney Tunes crew had a movie doesn’t mean they’ve gone anywhere. When an alien invasion is imminent, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig are the only ones who stand a chance of saving the planet.
