for hopeless romantics

I admit it. I'm a hopeless romantic. I proposed to my wife within a month of meeting her and we were married within 4 months. After 42 years of marriage we still hold hands over the dinner table, say "I love you" dozens of times a day and still weep tears of joy when we look into each others eyes. If you do the same, this film is for you.

I Hate Valentine's Day is formulaic, predictable and lacks truly original characters. But what it lacks in these areas it makes up for in schmaltz. If you weep at silly love stories you'll weep for this one. If you smile when true love blossoms you'll smile here. On the other hand if you sneer at Capracorn like the second male lead, you'll sneer here. Personally, I wouldn't care to know the reviewers who give this film 1 or 2 stars.
