TSI Five-O: Where is the love or the comedy?
“Love Happens” is not a very fascinating love story and it isn’t exactly a tear jerker either. The much expected spark between Aaron Eckhart and Jeniffer Aniston never materialises leaving the film cold. Dr Burke Ryan (Eckhart) has authored a self help book, ‘A-okay’ which encourages everyone to face their fear and withstand their grief. Deep down Burke hasn’t confronted his own loss, the death of his beloved wife. On the one hand he encourages others and helps them live a positive life with the help of his workshops and grief seminars, on the other hasn’t himself come to terms with his own reality. Eloise (Jennifer Aniston) is the queen of wrecked relationships who has now sworn off guys and is successfully running her flower shop. Eloise is a regular at the hotel where Burke’s workshops are planned and while she helps with the interior decorations of the venue she instantly feels attracted to Burke as she sees him deliver a lecture.
The rest of the story unfolds about how love is discovered between the two and most of it is pedestrian as well as predictable. Burke Ryan as a character held promise but the film doesn’t capitalise on it and the two leads seem mismatched. The upshot? The script doesn’t bring much novelty to the fore and the latest product to roll off Hollywood’s rom com assembly line happens to be just ho hum.
