Been cinemaing again. Finally saw a good movie. Those of you that read my cinema posts know that I like chick flicks and revenge films amongst others. Love Happens is obviously the former.
"Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston star in the romantic drama Love Happens. When a self-help author arrives in Seattle to teach a sold-out seminar, he unexpectedly meets the one person who might finally be able to help him help himself. Dr. Burke Ryan (Eckhart) is on the precipice of a major multimedia deal, but the therapist who asks his patients to openly confront their pain is secretly unable to take his own advice. Eloise Chandler (Aniston) has sworn off men and decided to focus on her floral business. However, when she meets Burke at the hotel where hes speaking, there is an instant attraction. But will two people who have met the right person at exactly the wrong time be able to give love another chance? As each struggles with the hurt of love and loss, they realize that in order to move forward, they need to let go of the past." -IMDB
Aaron and Jennifer are both very good in this and convey their emotions well. I even felt a tear well up in a few places, but more importantly I laughed a few times. The movie seemed very old fashioned to me, but in a good way. They took this relationship slowly, and I enjoyed the unfolding of the story. There was chemistry between them which is always a bonus when you feel that these movies are normally cast in the he's box office and she's box office, let's throw them together.
I wanted to see Up, but far too many children around the cinema to even contemplate. It will still be out in a few weeks and I will go and see in 2D, not 3.
