Love Happens movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: Love 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. Read more
Kathleen Murphy, MSN Movies: There are no sparks, not the slightest sign of chemistry, between Eckhart and Aniston. They might be Hansel and Gretel wandering endlessly through tame thickets of feeling. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: For a sparkly star vehicle with aspirations no greater than highlighting the perfect bone structure of its featured players, Love Happens makes a good case for the three-act formula of a skillfully crafted Hollywood romance. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: Because there's no mystery, no chemistry and paper-thin characters, the movie coasts by on the charms of its two stars. And while Eckhart and Aniston are mighty appealing, they need to be given something more with which to work. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Not that the grieving process shouldn't be addressed in a movie, but this one feels increasingly cooked up. Read more
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: That 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 cliched insipidity that much more irksome. Read more
Adam Graham, Detroit News: The 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. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Other stuff happens too, all of it strained and dull. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: Love supposedly happens in Love Happens. We'll have to take their word for it. Read more
Amy Nicholson, I.E. Weekly: Love isn't inspired, it's hammered flat like Khrushchev's shoe. Read more
Melissa Anderson, L.A. Weekly: Burke's hollow pop-psychspeak, lightly ridiculed at first, is wholly embraced by the film's end, if not as adamantly as the outrageous product placements for Qwest and Home Depot. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Charm can only carry a movie so far, of course. Love Happens is not destined to stick with us or become a romcom classic. It just... happened. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: Love happens in Love Happens, along with hearts, flowers, wine, roses, sweetness, light and every other cliche the filmmakers can squeeze into a two-hour film. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Some 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. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Love 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. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Love Happens is a comedy in mourning, a romance so sad that even Jennifer Aniston at her most engaging can't save it. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: Despite its two appealing leads, Love Happens is, as the kids say, not happening. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: 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. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: A 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. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: A harmless time-waster that could have been more. Read more
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Although the film begins promisingly, it proves to be little more than a soap opera. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: Hang in there Jen. You can do better. Read more
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star: This romantic-comedy is the kind of cloying, saccharine-saturated date movie that only the most deluded of fools in love would enjoy. Read more
Mary F. Pols, TIME Magazine: Love never happens in this movie, but at least there's some liking here and there. Read more
Nina Caplan, Time Out: The sorrowing widower is a great subject for film romance; but the point is to let the girl have a proper crack at cheering him up. And, as always with love, a GSOH would help. Read more
