Critics Consensus

Eager to please and stuffed with stars, Valentine's Day squanders its promise with a frantic, episodic plot and an abundance of rom-com cliches.

... it forgets to pause and consider what romance is really about and it's not about trying to be the new Love Actually

Yes, it's cliched and not well acted, Valentine's Day still musters up some comedic moments (mostly from Ashton Kutcher) and keeps your attention.

A gigantic mess of clich romantic dramas that only works because it's brought to life by familiar faces and talented actors.

2.5/4

Attention "Swifties" --- Taylor Swift stared in the movie "Valentine’s Day" in 2010 along-side Taylor Lautner who she was dating at the time. She wrote and sang the song "Today Was a Fairytale" for the movie.

If Crash had been a romantic comedy, odds are it would have looked a lot like Valentine's Day.

Movie is overstuffed with eye candy actors/actresses but is also poorly written, acted, directed, and executed. It tries to repeat the success of Love Actually, but fails miserably.

I get what this movies trying to do but Valentine's Day just failed in the worst way possible. Its just a bunch a stories conbined into one, it's like america's answer to "Love Actually" with an unoriginal story, plot holes terrible writing, unfunny gags not to mention terrible acting, skeaking of which as much as i love Taylor Swift her performance feels out of place in this movie Taylor Lautner is just being Taylor Lautner, Jessica Alba' performance feels entirley pointless, Bradley Cooper and Anne Hathaway deserve better any so many more so i would probably recommend you just skip this movie entirley and just watch a better romantic movie beacuse this is not one of them.

I watched it for Taylor Swift, obviously, but I stayed to see Jennifer Garner's revenge. Honestly, I don't know why they bothered including so many mediocre characters. The lack of diverse storylines only ruins this movie. It would have been better to just focus on the friendship between the teacher and the florist boy. No, they had to include fetish stories and juvenile plots that make me cringe. I know, it would have been a boring story, but at least it would have been boring, not bad... with stereotypical portrayals of teenage love, women heartbroken over Valentine's Day, etc. To the screenwriters: please, pick one or two plots and try to include some good jokes. This movie just makes love make me nauseous. And Taylor Swift's teddy bear is the worst.
