    A Romantic Comedy with a Serious Side

    The two lead actors, Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston are easy on the eye, yes; but who would have thought they could really act!?! Both have stretched past their usual "boy meets girl" roles to tackle a serious subject - grieving the loss of a loved one. John Carroll Lynch gives a convincing performance as a man who loses his son in an accident and then loses everything else because he is unable to deal with his grief. Martin Sheen also gives a small role his very best. "Love Happens" is a smart, well-acted movie that takes the viewer emotionally deeper than the average romantic comedy.

    give it a chance, it's worth it.

    I am not a fan of supposedly dubbed "chick flicks" or "romantic comedy", but the ambience of the trailer instantly attracted me (as well as the wonderful Jennifer Aniston). Although I did not realize how much of it is centered around the grieving process, this movie was still super and special. Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart have very believable chemistry and bring their characters to life. There is no way you cannot relate to these characters and their stories. There's hints of laughter here and there, but more so there are several of those moments that just bring a smile to your face. This movie is especially great for anybody who has lost someone and has/is experiencing the grieving process. An eyeopener to what we as humans are capable of when it comes to life, letting go, moving forward, acceptance, and love.
