Genevieve (Vardalos) loves romance, though she lives by a strict "five dates" rule. At the end of the fifth date, Genevieve typically calls the relationship off. So far, this method has worked like a charm, but when Genevieve meets Greg (Corbett) everything changes. At the end of their fifth date, Genevieve wants more. If she could only break from tradition long enough to realize she's fallen in love, perhaps she'll find out that some guys are worth keeping around. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Joy Tipping, Dallas Morning News
It's like eating a plain Hershey's bar on that supposedly most romantic day of the year. It may soothe your sweet tooth for a brief bit, but you'll still be longing for Godiva.
-
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
A charmless rom-com about an exhaustingly vivacious florist.
-
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
I found it to be really one note. This is not authentic modern courtship.
-
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
Everyone who's ever seen a movie knows where this is headed... but getting there is breezy, fun, and most importantly, well-executed.
-
Robert Abele, Chicago Tribune
All I Hate Valentine's Day adds up to is an awkward, ritualized date between moviegoer and a still-learning triple hyphenate.
