Spoiler Alert: Love Happens
Check your period calendars, ladies, because September 18 is gonna be a great day to cry. Love Happens, Jennifer Aniston's and Aaron Eckhart's rom-tragi-com about sad people who bump into each other literally and help each other heal comes out then! Once again, I will make fun of the trailer endlessly, but I will so totally be seeing this shit. Would Martin Sheen have signed up to play Aaron Eckhart's dad if this movie wasn't going to teach us all important lessons about being honest with ourselves? Would they really have named it Love Happens if they thought it would get ANY bad reviews by lazy critics? And you're never ever ever gonna believe who plays Jen's wacky but brutally honest best friend!
I can't decide whether Judy Greer should fire her agent, or marry her agent. She has engineered the biggest movie best-friend casting cock block in history:
So strong...yet so very, very vulnerable. Widower: The New Fragrance For Men:
I don't know why they showed us the whole movie in the trailer, but it's a little worrying because it would totally suck if Jen died too at the end. I can't wait for the sequels:
Love Happens 2: Love For Brains
Love Happens 3: Don't Love Where You Eat
Love Happens 4: I'm Too Old For This Love
Love Happens 5: Eat Love And Die
(And so on.)

He's a self-help guru... who can't help himself!
Movie magic.
Score = 17
why does he pretend that he's happy when he's not? and why does his agent want him to have a leer jet when he CLEARLY didn't write the book for that. and why does she choose "men with expiration dates" when she knows it will only make her dissappointed in the end? how can he help people when he can't help himself? most importantly, is that press shoot on the roof from Rushmore where they having an important tuna sandwich meeting? and how cool is it that she got the guts to open a quirky but refined chatchke shop? i'm sick of this.
okay, seriously though, when i inevitably see this movie on an airplane, i'm going to tear up at the martin sheen hug just like i did when i sw the Holiday on an airplane and eli wallach got a lifetime achievement award.
Score = 4
I wonder if Judy Greer flashes the people who make these movies every time they wrap filming while screaming "Say goodbye to these!" only to come back and do it all over again?
Score = 28
When my love realization happens to me, I too find it best to express said love by randomly running through an empty forest. But then I typically run into a pack of vampires who kill the moment.

I'm so excited male characters having cathartic, spontaneous runs while still wearing their business clothes and their business shoes is becoming a thing.
Score = 7
so, wait... does love happen? or....??? because I might have missed that.

this movie's going to be all about the subtleties.
Score = 11

At 1:40 he is RUNNING THROUGH THE FUCKING WOODS!
It looked like the move took place in the big city. Why is he in the woods?! Lindsay please update us when you find out.
Score = 1
There's a biggish-wooded park in Seattle. He's probably running through that.
Score = -1

Do people really meet their soul mates by bumping into them awkwardly? Maybe I should just go headbutt people on the street. They can make a movie about it.
Score = 9

That's all I can bring myself to say about this movie.
I need to get laid.
Score = 5
I'm going to pretend this is a sequel to The Dark Knight. Aaron Eckhart gets plastic surgery and moves to Seattle, where he writes a self-help book inspired by Rachel's death. He leverages his political career (which was saved by Batman taking the blame for his crimes!) to get the book published. He then falls in love with Jennifer Anniston because her name is also Rachel.
Score = 11
I need to start giving myself permission to start living my life . . . by not seeing this film.
