Just not enough August 27, 2010
Beantown Jim (Florida)
As a male movie fan of ms. Jennifer Aniston, I was a bit disappointed in the film. Her films are formulaic, always with her being unappreciated until the end, when she finds a love interest, even if the guy truly is unworthy of her.
My message to you: if you're a rabid fan, buy this. If not, skip it.
My message to Jennifer's agent: take a risk, take a challenge. Show us more of her acting range, more of her acting talent, and, to be blunt, more of her. She is gorgeous, and we want more of everything...now...
 Love Happens- A healin' is a comin' August 21, 2010
S. Willey (Columbus, OH)
This is a romantic comedy/drama with lots of heart. It's not one of those movies where people are simply jumping in to bed together and wearing revealing clothes. Love really is about companionship and this movie delivers.

LOVE HAPPENS should be titled WHAT HAPPENED?, as in what happened to the careers of Jennifer Aniston, Aaron Eckhart and Martin Sheen? For the final scene fag-out where everyone's crying, the actors probably were anticipating the reviews or thinking about the dinner theater work they will be lucky to get after being in this career-killing gay-fest. When Martin Sheen hugs Aaron Eckhart, I think he whispers, "Well, at least I have enough money saved. Don't know what you're gonna do, Aaron."
Should Have Been Called, 'This Seminar Is Taking Way Too Long' August 9, 2010
Trevor D. Hoier (Santa Monica, CA United States)
This movie reminds me a lot of other films in the same genre. It resembles a trainwreck.
The saddest thing about the whole pie is that it took two knuckleheads to actually write it.
By the end, I didn't really realize that love happened, I just kept thinking that it was a really long seminar in Seattle and that nothing was resolved at all...and what kind of seminar is this, anyway? I couldn't tell if he was a motivational speaker, a grief counselor or a lying hypocrite. Maybe the answer is All of the Above.
Aaron Eckhart plays a motivational counseling hypocrite who has lost his wife in a devastating car accident. Don't worry if you miss the flashback the first time because it's rehashed at least eight more times throughout this masterpiece. They just speed up the film rate (aka slow motion) of the dog on the rainy road for maximum impact...but it honestly just makes you laugh the more they show it.
Anyway, Aaron sees a pretty flower girl who sure lounges around this hotel lobby an awful lot. It seems like she should be in housekeeping as opposed to a florist. Her name is Jennifer Anniston. He asks her out and they fumble their way through scenes for about an hour + where nothing really happens and neither character is remotely interesting.
A bad sign for a romantic comedy is when neither character has any redeeming quality. Eckhart sits around, drinks vodka and feels sorry for himself regarding the loss of his wife....yet he runs a seminar on trying to help people how to cope with a loss. There's a bumbling character that wants to quit the seminar, who lost his son, and the filmmakers stumble their way trying to make this some sort of subplot...thankfully, all Aaron has to do is to take him to the Home Depot and give him a shopping cart. Huh?
This movie almost lost me at the very beginning when there is a montage of artsy compositions of lemons being cut up into wedges. The scene ends where they say something along the lines of, '...you have to make lemonade." The camera pans to the right and there's a bottle of Grey Goose. Whah?
It definitely lost me about four minutes later when we are introduced to who Eckhart is as he gives an introductory speech at his seminar where you're just scratching your head thinking, what the hell was that and what sense did any of it make? "He wins the National Championship Game, goes home, and shoots himself in the face. OK, we're gonna have a great week, I'll see you all very soon!!"
What is Martin Sheen so ticked off about? He hates the bird, he runs to the closing ceremony to yell at his son in law about the bird, he makes up with him, he...what the hell is going on? And who cast Eckhart's sidekick who has a perm mullet and just seems completely out of place the entire time? I do think the best part of the movie is the dramatic confession by Eckhart at the end and they show mulletman in tears. My wife and I were both cracking up.
Here's a little word that I would like to write behind a painting in the hotel lobby that epitomizes everything about this production: "redoubtable"
