Reviews for Love Happens
Top CriticHang in there Jen. You can do better.
09/18/09
Top CriticOther stuff happens too, all of it strained and dull.
09/18/09
Top CriticThe film is part romance, part drama, part Seattle travelogue, with Washington emerging as the only true winner. Along with the benefactors of the movie's copious product placements, that is.
09/18/09
Top CriticLove happens. Doesn't it, though? So do other, less pleasant fragrances. This much is clear in the well-acted fraud co-written and directed, woozily, by first-time feature filmmaker Brandon Camp.
09/18/09
Top CriticNot that the grieving process shouldn’t be addressed in a movie, but this one feels increasingly cooked up.
09/18/09
Top CriticLove Happens is a weepie about the grieving process, mainly my own. Two hours of my life have been brutally stolen from me, and I need closure.
09/18/09
Top CriticA limp romantic drama that occasionally lifts its drowsy head to attempt a wan smile, a picture that starts out being harmlessly dull and ends, somehow, in a place that feels insultingly manipulative.
09/18/09
Top CriticLove never happens in this movie, but at least there's some liking here and there.
09/18/09
Top CriticThis romantic-comedy is the kind of cloying, saccharine-saturated date movie that only the most deluded of fools in love would enjoy.
09/18/09
Top CriticDespite its two appealing leads, Love Happens is, as the kids say, not happening.
09/18/09
Top CriticSome may wonder why Jennifer Aniston keeps taking projects about single women unlucky in love. But the bigger question in Love Happens is why, with her pick of scripts, she chose one so utterly uninspired.
09/18/09
Top CriticUntil it erupts in tears, Love Happens dawdles along uncertainly as though debating exactly how to season its morose story with enough attempted witticisms to keep the audience from dozing off.
09/18/09
Top CriticOh, Love Happens, does it? Thanks, movie. Thanks for the evocative and powerful title. Way to show some effort.
09/17/09
Top CriticExcise the love story, and there's a pretty good movie buried within Love Happens struggling to get out, mostly to little avail.
09/17/09
Top CriticThat this superficial romance between a successful self-help author and a nurturing florist is also a film about overcoming the tragedy of losing a loved one only makes its clichéd insipidity that much more irksome.
09/17/09
Top CriticA harmless time-waster that could have been more.
09/17/09
Top CriticThe film has an uneven tone, unsure whether to mock [Eckhart's] rudimentary words of wisdom or play up his good intentions.
09/17/09
Top CriticThe title is a good indication of this movie's blandness and predictability.
09/17/09
Top CriticLove supposedly happens in Love Happens. We'll have to take their word for it.
