Love Happens (2009)
9/10
Aaron Eckhardt is brilliant, but Jennifer Aniston was so underwritten.

The preview to this was so misleading, It made it look like a romantic comedy. Which in fact it wasn't, what it was is a drama with some funny moments. Not that it was a bad movie, the movie was great, Aaron Eckhardt performance was quite Oscar worthy, and was very believable in his role. But Jennifer Aniston I felt was not giving much of character to play, cause it was so underwritten, I think the writers should have written more for her. A good drama, but the romance part didn't quite develop.

Burke(Aaron Eckhardt) a self help guru, who goes to Seattle to help a bunch of people. But Burke has suffered a tragedy three years ago, and has not quite worked through it. Although he helps others, but he has not helped himself. But that changes when he meets Eloise(Jennifer Aniston) a flower shop owner, whom he meets and wants to get to know. But will he overcome the tragedy, or will he suffer in loneliness.

It was a great drama, but the title Love Happens is so misleading, cause it was not romance movie. But still you should give it a look.
