This double feature from writer/director/producer James L. Brooks includes SPANGLISH and AS GOOD AS IT GETS. The former centers on celebrated chef John Clasky (Adam Sandler), who is the patriarch of his household, while it is his wife`s volatile mood swings that really run the show. When the Claskys hire the beautiful Flor (Paz Vega) to be their maid, their already rocky relationship faces some even bigger boulders. Spanish-speaking Flor is a sincere, loving single mother whose daughter, Christina (Shelbie Bruce), receives lavish displays of affection from Deborah. Meanwhile, Deborah neglects her own son and daughter in much the same way that her self-absorbed, alcoholic mother, Evelyn (Cloris Leachman), neglected her. Eventually Deborah crosses a line when she betrays her husband with the real estate broker who is helping her search for a beach house. Faced with this challenge, John and Flor, who share a clear attraction to one another, get the chance to explore their feelings. AS GOOD AS IT GETS follows the acerbic and outwardly despicable pulp novelist Melvin Udall, who lives in a haze of obsessive-compulsive behavior patterns. He avoids cracks in the sidewalk and rigidly adheres to his regimen of daily breakfasts in the cafe where harried single mom Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt) is the only waitress he`ll accept. But his ordered, hermetic world falls apart when his neighbor, a gay painter, needs a babysitter for his cherished dog--and only his long-time nemesis Melvin will do. Then, when the waitress`s son`s serious illness keeps her from work, Melvin realizes how much he needs her after all.

In the tradition of genial stories of British schoolchildren defying a comically overbearing authority comes A FEAST AT MIDNIGHT. Magnus is sent to an exclusive boys' school in Dover while his father lies in convalescence. Having gotten used to his father's exquisite cooking, the first thing Magnus notices when he arrives is the ultra-bland, albeit healthy, food that the boys are served. With the help of his father's recipes, Magnus sets out to make friends and rock the boat by sneaking into the kitchen each night and preparing a series of delicious desserts. However, Magnus and his newfound friends run into trouble when the strict Latin teacher, Mr. Longfellow (Christopher Lee), begins to suspect something is afoot in the kitchen. A FEAST AT MIDNIGHT has a light but poignant tone with scenes that satirize other films and genres.

Despite being known for their cutting, anarchic, and sometimes crude humor, beloved yellow sitcom family THE SIMPSONS have a well-documented softer side. Though maintaining a determined embargo on sappiness, the show occasionally manages to celebrate family and love in its own often bitterly funny way. Four classic (and previously unreleased) episodes are presented here, all dealing with love and romance, and all absolutely hilarious:
Natural Born Kissers,
The Way We Weren`t,
Large Marge,
and
Three Gays of the Condo.
This program may well be one of the best Valentine`s Day presents ever conceived--assuming you`re lucky enough to have a valentine with an excellent sense of humor.
