Love Happens.

Last week, I rented the movie "Love Happens" with Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart. It's about a motivational speaker, Burke(Eckhart), who lost his wife in a car accident a few years earlier and is now on a mission to help others through the grieving process and be able to move on with their lives. The twist is that he has not moved on from his own tragedy. He meets Eloise (Aniston) at the hotel where he is staying and his seminar is being held. They start off in a bad way, but soon find chemistry between each other and Eloise realizes Burke's secret. She then helps him overcome his grief for his wife as he helps others.

All in all, it was a cute movie, but I think that it could have been better. I did not like the personality of Burke and I found some parts to unfold in a weird way. Since I don't wanna spoil the movie, I don't want to say too much. I do think that some of the side-stories , such as when he gets to know a man who is taking his seminar and we hear the details of his life and his son's death. I found that to be a touching part of the movie.

If you like romance, drama and comedy, you should watch this movie and get an opinion on it. I do think that it could have been better but it wasn't horrible.

I need to find time to go to the movies sometime really soon! I want to see Dear John and also that new movie, Valentines Day! They both look like they'll be good! Hopefully my next blog will be on one of the two!!! :)

  1. I agree with you Love Happens could of been a little better. I also want to see Valentines Day! I saw Dear John, I liked it but it was very different to the book in many parts.

  3. I have never seen Love Happens but I think Jennifer Aniston is a good actress. So I think I might want to see it. However, I do agree with you that Valentines Day and Dear John look like they will be good movies. I'm excited to read your next blog about one of the movies!
