This movie is so poorly written, with inexplicable characters making ridiculous choices, and the dialogue is simply cringe-worthy.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 31, 2012

A big fat Greek flop!

| Original Score: .5/4 | Jul 10, 2009

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 10, 2009

A charmless rom-com about an exhaustingly vivacious florist.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 10, 2009

I found it to be really one note. This is not authentic modern courtship.

| Jul 6, 2009

Everyone who's ever seen a movie knows where this is headed... but getting there is breezy, fun, and most importantly, well-executed.

Uninspired romcom is no My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2009

An unspeakable nadir in the career of its writer-director-star, My Big Fat Greek Wedding's Nia Vardalos.

| Original Score: F | Jul 3, 2009

All I Hate Valentine's Day adds up to is an awkward, ritualized date between moviegoer and a still-learning triple hyphenate.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 3, 2009

What it lacks in laughs -- there are none -- it tries to make up for by ladling on stale clichs, such as Vardalos' two stereotypically gay assistants and a desperate younger female friend who stalks guys.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 3, 2009

A contrived, juvenile and painfully unfunny romantic comedy.

| Original Score: 2.75/10 | Jul 3, 2009

You might blame Nora Ephron, whose screenplay for When Harry Met Sally established the formula that I Hate Valentine's Day runs into the ground. Compared with this, Ms. Ephron is Chekhov.

The movie is set up as a valentine to Vardalos. She should try sending herself flowers.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 3, 2009

[I] enjoyed the cheap silliness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 3, 2009

An indie romantic comedy even worse than most of the bigger-budgeted but almost invariably rotten Hollywood examples of the genre.

| Original Score: F | Jul 2, 2009

Nia Vardalos wrote, directed and stars in this clunky, unfunny and plodding mess. She doesn't write dialogue, she writes shtick. Her direction seems awkward and amateurish, her acting is more like mugging.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 2, 2009

Given the inevitable response to this equally regrettable rom-com, she can expect to loathe Independence Day, too.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 2, 2009

Is it too pat to say I Hate This Movie? That's about the level of creative energy Vardalos applies to a film that manages to be every bit as bad as My Life in Ruins.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 1, 2009

By the time the end credits hit, there's joy emerging not from the outcome of the Genevieve/Greg romantic tango, but the feeling of relief to know the film, and Vardalos's insipid direction, has finally come to a close.

| Original Score: D | Jul 1, 2009

Put it this way: Children who see this film at an impressionable age risk inhibiting their social growth.

| Original Score: 1/6 | Jul 1, 2009
