Genevieve (Nia Vardalos), a florist, and Greg (John Corbett), a restaurateur, are relationship-challenged. Genevieve avoids the pain of a broken heart by never going out with a man more than five times, and Greg has a string of disastrous relationships behind him. Though Greg agrees to Genevieve's five-date rule, neither he nor Genevieve can predict the romantic sparks that fly when they get together.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

This boilerplate comedy lacks ingenuity or humor and features mediocre dialogue that sounds less like conversation and more like stand-up shtick.

It's like eating a plain Hershey's bar on that supposedly most romantic day of the year. It may soothe your sweet tooth for a brief bit, but you'll still be longing for Godiva. Go to Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Jul 10, 2009

thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 6, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more steve d @RT35616104 Jun 19, 2020 The actors obviously have chemistry but the story is nonexistent, the characters unsympathetic. See more Jun 9, 2020 This was bad, like so bad. The performances were so odd, uncomfortably so and the plot was just so cliched. Its so bad they used comic sans for the store sign for the restaurant one of the characters opened. See more A S @RT45259054 Feb 3, 2020 It’s a pretty good movie See more Nov 5, 2018 I enjoyed some of the humour in MBFGW so I thought I might get a few laughs from this movie. Wrong!. Nia & John have good synergy but this movie lacked a decent story and a strong supporting cast to add character to their roles. It was indeed mediocre and very disappointing. See more panayiota k @Penny672 Nov 2, 2018 I love me some Nia Vardalos. Of course it's stupid and predictable. Now grab some chocolate and go watch this feel good movie! See more Read all reviews
