GamerTab That was an excellent one.
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
jdhuston Nia Vardalos and John Corbett had chemistry in My Big Fat Greek Wedding like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in You've Got Mail. To my greatest dismay, their chemistry was off in this film.Nia plays the flower shopkeeper who everyone loves - but she wears a smiley facade as well as any scarf or dress she owns. John Corbett, the suave-but-not-too-handsome tapas-restaurant owner who needs a pick-me-up in life, works down the way. The problem - flower shop girl does not believe in love and tries to teach her friends and fellow business owners her 5-step-plan to have the perfect dating relationship.Although this movie had the elements for a funny love story and the actors were suited for the part, the aspect of funny was muddled by the deeper emotional baggage divorce causes than the movie could handle.
phoenix 2 When you first hear the title you are getting excited. There are many romantic comedies about valentine, but there is always room for more. Unfortunately, though, this movie is a disaster. The theme about five dates is getting boring and confusing, there are rare funny scenes and the story is lacking of imagination. Bad performances, poor twists and unsuitable soundtrack are completing a film, where the surprises are a few and can not help to make the movie a little better. Even the romance is not strong enough to give you a motive to watch it through. All in all, even though its hard to find some good parts about 'I hate Valentine's day', I give to it 3 out of 10 stars, only considering the effort and the money that was spent for it.
ccfine19 This movie sucked so much like all the rest of the reviews said she had a giant fake huge smile on the whole time there was a couple good parts that deserved a laugh, and i gotta say i liked the name of his bar she definitely is obnoxious though she pretty much takes over a lot of his work even before she knows him making him do things and buy things for his restaurant before he wants to i really the actors but this movie was just horriblewas suffering through but felt like i had to watch the whole thing just cause it was a chick flick wish i had turned it off honestly They didn't explain a lot of the side characters either, though they were good side characters especially the gay guys but the side characters in the restaurant were pretty much useless to have in the movie
Amy Adler Genevieve (Nia Vardalos, who wrote, starred and directed this winner) owns a flower shop. When Valentine's Day rolls around, she is on a natural "high", for her business does well and she loves to encourage romantic gestures. In truth, she is usually in a jolly mood and she cites her dating practices as the reason. Long ago, her father split from Gen's mother and, as a consequence, Genevieve never lets a relationship go beyond her standard of "five dates". She says this type of romance captures the essence of "exciting love" and never wilts into infidelity, bickering and so on. Is she for real? Yes, until Greg (John Corbett),, the new owner of a nearby Tapas bar, enters her establishment. Its Valentine's Day and Genevieve encourages him to buy flowers for his lady, even suggesting he ask the super to let him into her apartment to place them at her bedside. Big mistake, as Greg catches his woman in bed with someone else. Hurt, he invites Genevieve and her co-workers to his big opening, where Greg asks Genevieve out on a date. Naturally, she clues him in on her rules and Greg agrees. But, since the dates, which include dinner at a "kamikaze karaoke place", go extremely well, will the rules apply? This film is a genuine joy for every romantic comedy fan. Its clever, funny, and romantic, and Vardalos gets most of the credit, as she wrote, starred and directed this treasure! Corbett is also a huge reason to see this one, as he is so handsome, funny, and touching. The supporting cast, which includes Rachel Dratch, is also very fine. With a sunny California setting, great costumes, and production values, it's hard to find anything to criticize. Therefore, if you adore romantic comedy, don't hesitate a minute. Get out of the house now and secure your copy of I Hate Valentine's Day. You'll love it!
