Oh, Love Happens, does it? Yeah.. may be it did when I had already dozed off.
When you announce yourself as a romantic film, show romance in the film, God damn it! Even when Jen & Aaron lock-lips, love doesn't happen. May be love would happen if you cried.
Mr. Eckhart’s character, Burke Ryan, is the best-selling author of “A-OK! A Path Through Grief,” arrives in Seattle to conduct a 3 day seminar. Ms. Aniston’s character, Eloise Chandler, is that of a floral designer Burke bumps into in a hotel corridor.
The next tym he meets her she responds to a-cup-f-coffee invitation from him with a sign language pretending she's deaf & walks. A day later he finds her chatting in the same hotel lobby, goes there & shows her the middle finger which is followed by Aniston walking into the men's room to give him a lecture f her own. Burke, however, finds all f these fascinating. They go out for a dinner date later.
I gave up here.
The movie lacks emotional sense. The only real feelings happens during the workshop conducted by Bruke where John Carrol Lynch, playing Walter, a contractor who had just lost his young son rebels & refuses to walk over hot coals.
Ms. Aniston's role is under-written. I seriously wish that she shows some gumption whilst choosing roles. She plays a character in the film who is unlucky in love but I think she is quite unlucky while choosing the right kinda films.
The movie still counts on those scenes wherein after a long emo speech on the stage, one person in the audience starts clapping & the rest follow him & all stand up one by one. C'mon man these kinda scenes are history. Even Bollywood refuses to do such scenes.
Love Happens is, as the kids say, not happening. If you don't watch this film you won't loose anything.
P.S. The cockatoo and parrot belong to the same biological order, so it is not technically incorrect to call the bird in question a "parrot." But no one does that. If you have a pet cockatoo, you call it a cockatoo.
