Time OutJoshua Rothkopf
The surprising thing here is how smoothly this over-iced cake goes down. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterSheri Linden
Yet another Hollywood romantic comedy that's all but devoid of romance and laughs. Read full review

VarietyTodd McCarthy
As gooey and lacking in protein as a chocolate holiday bonbon, Valentine's Day plays like a feature-length commercial produced by the Friends of the Valentine Promotional Society. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
Valentine's Day is being marketed as a Date Movie. I think it's more of a First-Date Movie. If your date likes it, do NOT date that person again. And if you like it, there may not be a second date. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
In sum it plays like 12 landlocked episodes of "The Love Boat" rammed together, though without the same rate of intercourse. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe Williams
What might have seemed like a lively idea -- an all-star roundelay about love in Los Angeles -- is as fossilized as the wooly mammoths in the La Brea Tar Pits. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineMark Keizer
A classic case of being too much of a not-very-good thing. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene Rodriguez
There are so many romantic-comedy cliches crammed into Valentine's Day that watching it feels like surfing through the channels of an all-chick-flick cable service. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesBetsy Sharkey
The veteran Marshall has proved a quick study, serving up the pastiche with panache so the stars mostly shine, the story snippets mostly amuse and you'll barely notice all the empty spots where a plot used to be. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick Groen
In your typical subpar Hollywood romcom, there’s only one tedious love story to put up with. Well, Valentine’s Day (such a clever title) does a whole lot better than that: It offers 10 tedious love stories to put up with. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Valentine's Day is sugary, sappy and totally predictable. It's also what a whole lot of women are likely to want. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
The film's main problems are script-related. Most of the stories aren't merely perfunctory; they're superficial. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill Goodykoontz
There's far too much going on in Valentine's Day, and far too little of it is worth the trouble. Read full review

TimeMary Pols
The film skips along pleasantly, supremely confident in its own cuteness and utterly unapologetic about how shallow or contrived it might be. Read full review
