Silly and Boring (10 October 2009)

In Manhattan, Genevieve Gernier (Nia Vardalos) owns a flower shop and has a rule of a limit of five dates with a man to avoid a relationship. When Greg Gatlin (John Corbett) buys a restaurant nearby her shop, they decide to date; however, after five dates, Genevieve is not happy with her rule and does not know how to meet Greg again.

"I Hate Valentine's Day" is a silly and boring movie where the two lead characters seem to be moron. Forty-seven year old Nia Vardalos and forty=eight year old John Corbett seem to be fifteen year old sweethearts facing the problems of the first love with the most stupid and immature attitudes that the viewer could expect from forty and something year old adults. My suggestion is do not spend your tome and money with this forgettable and disappointing movie. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "Eu Odeio o Dia dos Namorados" ("I Hate the Valentine's Day")
