Love Happens (2009) 6/10

Starring : Aaron Eckhart, Jennifer Aniston, Dan Fogler, John Carroll Lynch, Martin Sheen
Director : Brandon Camp
Running Time : 105 mins

Following the death of his wife, motivational speaker Burke Ryan (Eckhart) writes a book which gives advice on how to cope with the loss of a loved one as a method of dealing with his own grief. It’s only when he meets florist Eloise (Aniston) that he discovers that he hasn’t been following his own advice, and that in order to move on he needs to open himself up to the possibility of finding love again.

This felt like it should have been a comedy, but there were no real laughs throughout the movie. Eckhart was effective in some parts of the movie, nut Aniston was lifeless and annoyed me a little. Again this is one of those films that are enjoyed by only a small section of society, but it really felt like a drawn out dull story that tries to deal with depression but ends up dealing with guilt.
