Aaron Eckhart (Burke) and Jennifer Aniston (Eloise) star in the romantic drama Love Happens. When a self-help author arrives in Seattle to teach a sold-out seminar, he unexpectedly meets the one person who might finally be able to help him help himself.
Dr. Burke Ryan (Eckhart) is on the precipice of a major multimedia deal, but the therapist who asks his patients to openly confront their pain is secretly unable to take his own advice.
Eloise Chandler (Aniston) has sworn off men and decided to focus on her floral business. However, when she meets Burke at the hotel where he’s speaking, there is an instant attraction. But will two people who have met the right person at exactly the wrong time be able to give love another chance?
As each struggles with the hurt of love and loss, they realize that in order to move forward, they need to let go of the past. And if they can, they’ll find that, sometimes, love happens when you least expect it. –© Universal
I am not one to go to a “chick-flick” however when it is your friends turn to pick a movie you cannot really argue. I cannot begin to describe how uninterested I was with the ‘character development’ and the blossoming romance between the main characters in the film. I felt it was a wearisome romance between two one-dimensional characters. Once introduced to both characters, if I was asked, I would have been able to write the rest of the movie and get it on the nose as to what would happen, who would be involved, etc.
I truly do not recommend this movie to those movie goers tired of the same old: boy meets girl; girl does not want boy; girl wants but cant have boy; finally they fall in love; and they lived happily ever after tales. I insist on refering readers of this blog to RottenTomatoes.
