LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Topher Grace, Emma Roberts and Hector Elizondo have joined the cast of director Garry Marshall's romantic comedy "Valentine's Day."

Film

They join Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper and Ashton Kutcher in the New Line movie, which has five slightly interconnecting stories playing out on Valentine's Day in Los Angeles.

Grace plays a mailroom worker in the town's biggest agency who's dating Hathaway. Roberts -- working for the first time on the same movie as her aunt Julia -- plays a teen who wants to lose her virginity to her boyfriend. Elizondo plays MacLaine's husband.

Grace, whose last major film role was as Venom in "Spider-Man 3," next stars opposite Anna Faris in "Young Americans." Emma Roberts last appeared in "The Winning Season" and "Hotel for Dogs." Elizondo recently appeared on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and USA's "Monk." He's been in every Marshall-directed movie, and this will be his third pairing with Julia Roberts, after 1990's "Pretty Women" and 1999's "Runaway Bride."
