Love Happens

WARNING!  Despite how you may feel about Jennifer Aniston's good work elsewhere (The Good Girl, for instance, not to mention her years on tv's Friends), stay away from her latest, LOVE HAPPENS, if you value your sanity.  It's a total piece of trash.  
Directed by Brandon Camp, who also co-wrote the script, it stars Aaron Eckhart, best admired for the special effects in the most recent Batman film, as Burke Ryan, a creepy self-help guy who can't take his own advice.  Everyone should have known that a premise like that just can't be sustained for an entire movie.  At least not this movie.  Picture, for instance, a short scene that's apparently  supposed to be funny: a recovering elderly widow hands Burke a cookie jar full of oatmeal cookies infused with her husband's ashes.  Yikes!  
Go see anything else or just stay home.
