F*ck Valentine’s Day is a 2026 American romantic comedy from Mark Gantt that is unafraid to flip holiday expectations on their head. It tells the tale of one very cynical lead when personal disappointments lead him to disavow love driven holiday traditions. The very beginning has a sharp generally funny and entirely unapologetic tone. Valentine’s Day starts to approach and pressures from friends work and society build. But resistance gives way to reflection. Gantt uses humor to expose loneliness modern dating fatigue and emotional avoidance. Quick witted dialogue and awkward encounters keep the story moving at a good pace and relatable. It’s a film about self worth honesty and unlikely congruence. Growth therefore comes from chaos rather than comfort. The pacing remains light with the emotional beats landing clear as day. Midway through the story those searching for afdah often find Fck Valentine’s Day* among offbeat romantic releases.
Overall Fck Valentine’s Day touches the right balance of sharp humor emotional realism and anti romance charm in presenting a refreshing take on love sans clichés.
