Every situation in the movie is obvious; the foreshadowing is so blatantly telegraphed you'd think the film was produced by Western Union.

Love isn't inspired, it's hammered flat like Khrushchev's shoe.

Aaron Eckhart is commanding as a deeply flawed man in Brandon Camp's compelling dramedy, 'Love Happens'

When I say ---- happens, bet you didn't think of plopping the word 'Love' in there.

Could love happen? Melodrama certainly does.

'Love Happens' actually uses a slow clap in a serious way to bring this movie home.
09/23/09
Gee, they fall in love without falling into bed first. Hooray for them! This is a relatively entertaining trifle, not the best romance, but not the worst, either.

Is this a movie or a feature-length advertisement for Qwest? We're not just talking one product placement; this brand name is nearly omnipresent.
09/22/09
Aniston is mostly missing in action in this film but maybe she is just hiding because of her embarrassment over the content
09/21/09
Love Happens isn't about love. It's about grief and works on most levels and isn't a total bomb because of [Aaron] Eckhart.
09/20/09
A wearisome romance between two one-dimensional constructions masquerading as humans.
09/19/09
Aaron Eckhart surprised me with the depth of his performance as a self-help guru who needs help himself.

Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? When you use that title, you're asking for trouble.
09/19/09
You will want to have your tissues ready for the powerful emotional punch delivered by this film. Screenwriters Camp and Thompson break the mold with a story told with sincerity and honesty.
09/18/09
It's not a must-see, but with some nice performances and some scenic views of Seattle, if you wait until it comes to cable, it's pleasant enough.
09/18/09
Nobody seems real enough to care about.
