"Romantic ensemble comedy with a large cast of stars, which dramaturgically does not get the multitude of characters under control and gets lost in superficially drawn dramolettes whose hysterical struggle for romance seems mendacious and sterile."
"Despite the star cast, the successful comedy director Garry Marshall manages little more than pink slapstick with" Valentine's Day "."
"Pretty boring, boring chatter-cinema."
"No, the romantic comedy was not reinvented with" Valentine's Day ". Fortunately, the ensemble film is naturally a promiscuous format: You don't have to endure any character for long. Whatever Valentine's Day, it has its message here. "
“This is a film that could be described by the various degrees of temperature it plunges us into every few minutes. Which is related to the bundle of Hollywood stars who were brought together for a tangled mix of episodes on Valentine's Day, February 14th. "
