    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The interior of Eloise's Garden was actually a high-end lingerie shop in Vancouver. The filmmakers redressed it as a flower shop.
    • Goofs
      Eloise chides her assistant for not cauterizing the roses. Roses are never cauterized. That would seal the stems so they would not be able to take up water. Roses in fact should be cut daily since the stems seal up naturally.
    • Quotes

      Burke: Funerals are important rituals. They're not only recognition that a person has died; they're recognition that a person has lived.

    Hmmm
    Well, I had the choice of seeing this movie and Jennifer's Body.So from word of mouth I decided on viewing Love Happens because well it seemed somewhat interesting.

    I haven't seen many of Aaron's films either so I wanted to see how he blended in with Jennifer Aniston.

    The movie,yes a romantic one..perhaps and a little comedy,,minimal of a few laughs I found to be a little boring.I thought Aaron did a good job and got into his character,but somehow I lost Jennifer Aniston.I don't know if words can describe how I felt after the movie.I mean it was very touching to see Aaron's character open and tell his feelings and I think most people can relate to that part of the movie.

    I thought the movie was OK.I thought Aaron's character was interesting.However,Jennifer's was just blah.

    If you are fan of either I am sure you will be more amused than I was.
