Dr. Burke Ryan (Aaron Eckhart) is on the precipice of a major multimedia deal, but the therapist who asks his patients to openly confront their pain is secretly unable to take his own advice. Eloise Chandler (Jennifer Aniston)has sworn off men and decided to focus on her floral business. However, when she meets Burke at the hotel where he's speaking, there is an instant attraction. But will two people who have met the right person at exactly the wrong time be able to give love another chance? As each struggles with the hurt of love and loss, they realize that in order to move forward, they need to let go of the past. And if they can, they'll find that, sometimes, love happens when you least expect it.
PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"More thoughtful than its cookie-cutter marketing campaign implies, and better than its awful title promises, 'Love Happens' is the rare Hollywood romance concerned with emotions other than love at first sight." (Dan Kois: The Washington Post) ----------------------------------------
"Falls between romance and drama without really satisfying either. (...) Rating: ** (out of five)" (Anna Smith: Empire) ----------------------------------------
"[Eckhart's Ryan] is so devoid of charisma, and his character so lacking in insight, that you wonder why anyone would heed his advice. Ms. Aniston’s role is underwritten (...) the vital signs in 'Love Happens,' a movie that feels likes a laboriously padded outline, are faint. (Stephen Holden: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
