Film Review – F Valentine’s Day

The unfortunately titled “F Valentine’s Day” is written by Steven Bencich. He’s had a strange career, spending most of his time in the world of animation, contributing screenplays for endeavors such as “Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore,” “Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time,” and “The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning.” Bencich is even credited on 2005’s “Chicken Little” and 2003’s “Brother Bear.” Perhaps he was in the mood to try something different, but actual effort is in limited supply in his latest offering, with “F Valentine’s Day” basically a Hallmark Channel production attempting to have an edgy sense of humor about relationships and honesty. Director Mark Gantt is no help, delivering a thoroughly vanilla viewing experience that intends to charm with Greek locations and lively performances. The picture fails to reach even modest expectations for fun, becoming a bummer to sit through, kind of like…well, “Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore.” Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
