SnoopyStyle NYC flower shop owner Genevieve Gernier (Nia Vardalos) loves Valentine's Day. She doesn't date anybody for more than five dates to avoid going stale. Greg Gatlin (John Corbett) quit his law firm and bought the nearby cursed restaurant. Greg buys flowers for his girlfriend and then discovers that she's not exclusive. He's intrigued with Genevieve's dating system and they start going out.This is written and made like a weak sitcom. Nia Vardalos faces an unPC problem of age and looks. She seems to have broken down a barrier with her big hit "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". However in MBFGW, she was a 30something homely spinster. She fits a lot better with that role and the family characters are vastly superior. It's seven years later. She's playing a flighty single with a flighty rule about dating. Her character has no heft and no substance. She should have let Zoe Kazan take the lead in this one. This is a clueless single gal sitcom and fortysomething Nia is too old to play that role. She can't be stuck on her daddy issues at that age without making it more interesting. I want better material for this lovable bunch.

Madison Mercer I agree with the other reviewers - Nia's acting is awful. Her performance is so forced and her character has this fake smile frozen on her face for the entire movie.The whole storyline & her dating philosophy is so predictable and irritating.The supporting cast of characters are idiotic - I like many of these actors in other roles, but their characters in this movie are the worst.I'm at 49:38 now and I'm stopping this now. I just can't take it anymore.And it's a shame because I really enjoyed "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" - and I loved John Corbett in SATC.

westerfield I admit it. I'm a hopeless romantic. I proposed to my wife within a month of meeting her and we were married within 4 months. After 42 years of marriage we still hold hands over the dinner table, say "I love you" dozens of times a day and still weep tears of joy when we look into each others eyes. If you do the same, this film is for you.I Hate Valentine's Day is formulaic, predictable and lacks truly original characters. But what it lacks in these areas it makes up for in schmaltz. If you weep at silly love stories you'll weep for this one. If you smile when true love blossoms you'll smile here. On the other hand if you sneer at Capracorn like the second male lead, you'll sneer here. Personally, I wouldn't care to know the reviewers who give this film 1 or 2 stars.

Flicker-37 Since the two stars were so good in My Big Fat Wedding, I was looking forward to seeing them again. This was such a letdown!. One quarter of the way through, I said this movie is horrible, but I forced myself to watch it. What a mistake! The plot was okay, but the movie had so many things wrong with that it did not make any sense most of the time. For example, it was winter time in some of the scenes, and no ever wore warm clothes. What no snow and ice in winter in NYC? The supposed 4 dates were strewn over a year's time. After all that time, they still acted like they had just seen each other the previous night. It was just pure fluff, but not entertaining fluff. It ranks right above My Life in Ruins. Sorry, Nia. I can't stomach any more of your movies as hard as I try to like them. Nia is pretty and easy to watch, but her movies make her no longer bearable.
