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.

    Nia and john are good together but recreating the sparks of My Big Fat...fails here. It has it's moments.

  • jay n


    Okay but overly silly rom com. For a film with such a short running time it seems to take a long time to get where it's going and the supporting cast of supposedly quirky characters are never fleshed out enough to make them endearing just weird.
