Average Rating:3/10

Consensus: This boilerplate comedy lacks ingenuity or humor and features mediocre dialogue that sounds less like conversation and more like stand-up shtick.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for some sexual content.

Runtime: 1 hr 38 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Jul 3, 2009 Limited

Synopsis: After the mammoth success of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING in 2002, Nia Vardalos and John Corbett reunite for this unromantic-sounding romantic comedy.

As the owner of the Brooklyn florist Roses for Romance, Genevieve (Vardalos) should welcome the love-centric holiday. But heartache has kept her from serious relationships, and she has obeyed her romance rule: never go on more than five dates. New restaurateur Greg (Corbett) can’t follow any rules when it comes to dating--he doesn’t know how male-female relationships are supposed to work, so he stays unmarried. When the two pair up, they try to stick to Genevieve’s five-date mandate, but they didn’t count on love entering the equation. Writer-actress Vardalos makes her directorial debut with I HATE VALENTINE’S DAY, which also stars Stephen Guarino, Zoe Kazan, Judah Friedlander, Rachel Dratch, and Jay O. Sanders. [More]

I Hate Valentine's Day is a horror show masquerading as a romantic comedy. Maybe Vardalos is just in the wrong line of work.

The strength of Vardalos' movies is that she loves all of her fellow actors and allows large ensembles to flourish.

A plodding mediocrity with an almost mercenary adherence to formula.

An alternately kooky and kinky comedy about the impossibility of establishing a science of romance, the movie is salvaged from small screen sitcomish attitude by the enormous warmth and vivacious personality of Vardolos, even when in pretend tyrant mode.

Vardalos doesn't write dialogue; she writes shtick...the whole thing is one long riff, with few laughs and an inevitable destination.
