I Hate Valentine's Day

source: I Hate Valentine's Day

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen! My Big Fat Greek Wedding was so charming and it worked! This mess of an idea is gawd-awful in more ways than I can express! Nia Vardalos has got to be the worst actress EVER. Her frozen-on smile was so idiotic and obnoxious throughout the entire movie... and her clothes made her look like half grandma/half ditz. And John Corbett was so mis-cast in this movie. He's usually so sensitive and a basically good actor... but with the horrible writing in this lopsided script, he couldn't make it work if he tried! "Get on Tappas"???? That's the best they could do? Don't waste your time watching this hideously horrendous bad movie!

I Hate Valentines day (2009) starring Nia Vardalos as Genevieve Gernier who owns a flower shop and known for being expert in dating and followed the five dates dating limit however this rule which made by her was destructed when she met a guy Greg Gatlin(John Corbett) who bought the the curse place nearby and made it into a restaurant. They constantly dating until it reached they've the fifth day of dating that Genevieve failed to realized. The story was quite interesting. A chick flick, another romantic-comedy who love by many yet quite entertaining. It is realistic and predictable. The directing and the script wasn't good but it's not for first timer director Nia Vardalos. I don't feel the chemistry of the cast especially between the lead actors: Nia Vardalos and John Corbett. I'll give praises to the soundtrack of the movie, its pertinent to the scene. good job there! I think its not that worth watching for because there's nothing fresh to offer. There's no twist and turns in the story which made this a complete waste. *peace to everybody* +++

I am beginning to think that Nia Vardalos is just a One-Hit Wonder (My Big Fat Greek Wedding). And yes I like her just fine, but enough is enough with these futile attempts of trying to be cute (you're too old girl), though I will say we all noticed you have been working out. Throughout about 95% of this film she's walking around with this weird look on her face (like she was high, or had gas). The premise of the movie is a re-joining of Vardalos with her MBFGW co-star, Corbett, in a Rom-Com, but for some reason, unlike in their previous project, there was nothing there between them that I could sense. What happened? Corbett looked like he would rather be anywhere else than in this movie. And all her friends were a lot younger than she actually is, and sort of looks, so that did not work for me. Neither did the typecasting of her gay friends or even her girlfriends. Ugh. We almost had something going there with her relationship with her parents, especially her dad, but that was a one-scene moment, and no more. There is some talent within Vardalos (saw some potential in that scene with her dad in this movie), but it's not doing these cutsy-pie brainless fluff movies. I would like to see her try something with some meat to it. Drama. Oh yea. Was this movie supposed to be a comedy? Not worth the rental. Wait until you can watch it for free if you must see this flop.

This film is about a female florist who has a rule of only having five dates with a man. She meets a local restaurant owner for her usual five dates, with unexpected results. "I Hate Valentine's Day" is a sweet romantic comedy. Despite the fact that it follows the usual formulaic plot, it is still a pleasant and joyful film to watch. The leading lady being a florist helps enhance the romantic mood, leaving viewers with room to imagine how romantic she can be. Nia Vardalos is great, as are the supporting cast especially the two male florists. However, I find John Corbett wooden and expressionless. He is not right for the role, or maybe not even right for a romantic comedy. Overall, I think "I Hate Valentine's Day" is a good film to kill time.

I Hate Valentine's Day meets all the romantic comedy criteria. Kudos to Nia on her directing and acting. John Corbett also did well, and it's nice to see him on screen again. Nia Vardalos has not gotten enough positive attention for her projects. I like to see her breaking away from the Greek only theme of movies in this rom-com. I admire her pride in her heritage, but I also like to see her making films that everyone can relate to. I enjoyed My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and My Life In Ruins was charming albeit predictable. But I Hate Valentine's Day was fantastic. If this was a big Hollywood movie with an all A-List cast, everyone would be raving. Don't knock it just because it doesn't have a lead like Katherine Heigl. Enjoy it for what it is.

If you like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" it does not mean you should like "I Hate Valentine's Day" Nia Vardalos is 47. She acts like 25 years old model, which quite annoying. Nia, even though it was her directorial debut, was capable of messing up a film so badly. Her acting was over done. John Corbett is 48. He does not know what to do. They both look great for their age, but not for this movie. In general, everyone was bad to such an extent that it ended up being totally fake. Don't waste your money and time with this movie, because it doesn't worth it.

Nia Vardalos is the worst actress in the film industry, I have news for you Nia, you're not funny and you're not hot. You are almost 50 years not 25 don't try to be a hot actress that knows all about love and its secrets, if you want you can produce movies and you're cross-eyed and that bothers people. A bad history, the rules of the 5 appointments is a blooper please put this movie out of the market today we must be more originals. Please Nia you must not direct another movie. Bad script Bad actors Bad direction Bad movie Nia Vardalos

It's not star trek but as far as romantic comedies go this film nails it. If you liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding then you will love I Hate Valentines Day. John and Nia have amazing on screen chemistry. The film demonstrates vardalos ability to create very strong secondary characters with whom we can all relate. Characters who you know through friends or family. John Corbette is as always very likable but still has enough edge to remain interesting. Contrast that to some other Hollywood nice guys. affleck for example who is so placid that he could be your friend but not someone you really want to see on screen.

Until now i kinda liked Nia Vardalos on her previous films "My Big fat Greek wedding" and "My life in Ruins". This specific one though is one of the worst of 2009. The dialog is cheesy, acting hits bottom and the plot is ridiculous and predictable. Nia has this silly smiling expression in each and every scene which is very annoying.I hope she sticks to acting that she knows best. Its a fact that not all actors can be directors. Many of them need coaching to achieve a decent performance and Vardalos is definitely one of them. Probably the worst film of the year ... Avoid Avoid Avoid!!!
