Very disappointing...
Simply Perfect

Don't listen to the negative reviews
I voted this movie a 5 only because I generally like John Corbett, but I wouldn't recommend it even for a "bad movies" night. It is disgustingly sweet (and I'm a romantic), full of clichés and stereotypes and so predictable that they should've put a spoiler alert before the first scenes. From the other flicks I've seen with her, it was obvious Nia Vardalos is a BAD actress (and apparently a bad director as well) and she definitely topped the cake with this one. She lacks any kind of expression, except the fake, creepy smile that comes with every line she delivers and the acting in general in way overdone. One of the very few funny moments was the name of Greg's bar, but she didn't take advantage of that either. The only good things in this movie are the pretty flowers and the nice ending song. Make yourself a favor and watch RoboCop instead.
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.
My only hesitations about writing a review is first, I watched it, and second, I did not have a zero stars choice.Based on the Supreme Court definition, this movie is pornography, i.e., totally without redeeming social value. On the other hand, I should move to Brazil because someone gave it four stars. What is in the water there?Who is Nia Vardalos? She "starred" in, wrote and either she is a gillionaire who financed this movie, or has a very rich husband/lover who put up the money, or has friends whom everyone should have.The movie is totally inane. On the other hand, presumably, it provided employment for a whole bunch of people in a time of economic need. So I guess I can justify one star after all.
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.
