Throughout the 2010s , Garry Marshall head an unofficial trilogy of holiday - based ensemble romance : Valentine ’s Day , New Year ’s Eve , andMother ’s Day . They ’re all direful , but the middle chapter is arguably the bad of the three .

Alas , it ’s not rare for Jennifer Lopez to star in an atrocious read-only storage - com with a generic love interest ( in this casing , Alex O’Loughlin ) . InThe Back - Up Plan , Lopez act a single woman who gets fraught through artificial insemination and then meets her dream guy on the same daylight .
Cue all the clichés of romanticism movies . Even a pre - BridesmaidsMelissa McCarthy is n’t given the freedom to steal scenes from her painfully unfunny co - stars .

At unspoiled , the romance is banal , but at worst , like when the brother pretend to be the best friend by fall apart his costume at a natal day party , it ’s passing eldritch .
Best: The Lobster (2015)
Yorgos Lanthimos’The Lobsteris a moderately singular take on the Romance language story . It ’s set in a funny dystopian future in which being single is illegal and the great unwashed are direct to a resort where , if they ’re unable to notice dearest , they ’ll be turned into animals .
Colin Farrell star as a human being with a pet dog ( his crony ) , who is taken to the recourse when his married woman leaves him for another adult male . He ’s the thoroughgoing role through which to explore this scary world .
Worst: Fifty Shades Of Grey (2015)
Sam Taylor - Johnson ’s pic adaptation was a huge loge office hit because the book was a bestseller and the movie opened right before Valentine ’s Day , but it ’s a bad picture : bad in the esthetic sense , because Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan ’s acting belongs in a liquid ecstasy opera , and bad in the troubling mother wit , as it glamorize sexual ferocity .
