Love happens is a feeble romantic drama

By Derek Malcolm, Evening Standard  09.10.09
 

Brandon Camp’s feeble romantic drama, starring Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston, purports to have serious moments about confronting the pain of grief. After wading through them, you may wish to confront some pain too.

Inspiration merchant Eckhart tells naïve audiences how to transcend misfortune. He can’t, however, forget that his wife died in a car accident in which he was the driver — until he meets one of those glamorous Hollywood single girls (Aniston).

Both stars seem bemused in their parts and it is left to Martin Sheen and a pet parrot to emote. The parrot, in fact, is the best thing here.
