As much as I'm anti Valentines' Day, I gotta say the movie is a winner. 'I Hate Valentines' Day' wasnt too bad. I've always loved John Corbett ever since 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' and his Sex & The City debut as Aidan Shaw (adored him for it!). I just HAD to see this movie.
But I thought Nia Vardalos was a tad too grinny in this movie... almost like she's smiling to keep from crying. The storyline was decent and I can relate to most parts of it. Her fears, all the dating rules and being in total control of the situation so that she wouldn't get hurt.
By the end of it, I gotta admit I was a lil disappointed and thought 'whats so I-HATE-VALENTINES-DAY is this movie'? I was expecting some girl-power mantras, girlfriend support group moments... something about strength, patience and love of other things but men... but nah, it ended up to be another soppy movie.

Valentines Day, on the other hand, fits the usual standards of a romantic comedy, not to mention the glitzy cast. I was most touched by Julia Roberts' story and most squemish-ed by the gay couple. But thats just me. Nothing against homos. Peace.
