Leave your thoughts about I Hate Valentine's Day.
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfBy the time the end credits hit, there's joy emerging not from the outcome of the Genevieve/Greg romantic tango, but the feeling of relief to know the film, and Vardalos's insipid direction, has finally come to a close. |
| Dallas Morning NewsJoy TippingIt's like eating a plain Hershey's bar on that supposedly most romantic day of the year. It may soothe your sweet tooth for a brief bit, but you'll still be longing for Godiva. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn indie romantic comedy even worse than most of the bigger-budgeted but almost invariably rotten Hollywood examples of the genre. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinAn unspeakable nadir in the career of its writer-director-star. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberAlthough the movie was clearly made on the cheap, cinematography, sets and costumes belie the modest budget. No one will be thunderstruck by the insights buried in "Valentine's Day," but couples seeking romantic fluff probably will find just enough humor and heart to satisfy them. |
| At the MoviesBen LyonsI found it to be really one note. This is not authentic modern courtship. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenYou might blame Nora Ephron, whose screenplay for “When Harry Met Sally” established the formula that I Hate Valentine’s Day runs into the ground. Compared with this, Ms. Ephron is Chekhov. |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerA plodding mediocrity with an almost mercenary adherence to formula. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie is set up as a valentine to Vardalos. She should try sending herself flowers. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyFor I Hate Valentine's Day, Vardalos has chosen to direct. And that's a mistake that only compounds the ones in her screenplay. |
