Orlando SentinelRoger Moore
It’s an American "Love Actually" without the warmth that writer-director Richard Curtis stuffs into his all-star confections, without the wit, without much love, actually. Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley Morris
This is many lousy movies for the price of one. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
The film feels as calculatedly sentimental as one of those bland pink candy hearts. Read full review

Washington PostJen Chaney
Largely relies on stale gender stereotypes and tired comedy routines that don't elicit much laughter. Read full review

Village VoiceKarina Longworth
Shoddy enough within its primary genre, Valentine's Day becomes deadly in its attempt to be a Los Angeles Ensemble Movie. Read full review

Chicago ReaderCliff Doerksen
Valueless as entertainment, it’s still useful as a disambiguation tool for those who confuse Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel, or Taylor Dayne and Taylor Swift. Read full review

SlateDana Stevens
What it lacks in charm, humor, and intelligence, it makes up for in sheer volume. Read full review

ObserverRex Reed
It’s a romantic piffle stuffed with so much candy that your skin could break out. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
Explores love in all its myriad forms, from the sickeningly sappy to the cornball to the groaningly precious and obnoxiously cute. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter Travers
Valentine's Day is a date movie from hell. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley Jones
Aggressively unfunny and unromantic, Valentine’s Day’s chief concern appears to have been the corralling of its cast of a thousand stars; it seems far less attention was paid to what to do with that cast once assembled. Read full review

The New York TimesManohla Dargis
This might not be the Titanic of romantic comedies (it’s tugboat size), but it’s a disaster: cynically made, barely directed, terribly written. But quick: there’s still time to escape! Read full review

SalonAndrew O'Hehir
A Garry Marshall movie has to be funny in order to be anything at all, and this one is so deeply involved with its pseudo-meaningful roundelay of beautiful but inexplicably lovelorn people as to be teeth-grindingly, mind-warpingly boring. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
Less funny or romantic than your average colonoscopy, this cringe-inducing bore provides dubious employment for four Oscar winners, two nominees and a raft of TV performers. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyLisa Schwarzbaum
How you feel about Valentine's Day may depend on how you feel when someone really, really cute -- and someone you're really, really fond of -- gives you a nasty box of cheap chocolate on Valentine's Day, picked up at the corner Rite Aid and delivered with the price tag still attached.
