"Aaron Eckhart surprised me with the depth of his performance as a self-help guru who needs help himself."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews

"Hiring irritating actors Judy Greer and Dan Fogler to play buddy roles in
Happens
is a terrific way to state to the audience that filmmakers have little to no imagination, looking to the routine and the tiresome to squeak by"

"Gooey, banal and manipulative rom-com-dram."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
3/4
"A surprisingly thoughtful romantic drama saddled with a climactic scene so cloying and artificial that one can hardly believe it's part of the same movie. And yet, what surrounds this five-minute faux pas is really kind of great."

"Yeah, love happens. So does something else. Sappy, overemphatic and cloying...[a] mountain of narrative cliches."

"...a coma-inducing collection of unimaginative sermons, tasteless symbolism and one of the most crass uses of product placement to come down the pike in some time"
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2.5/4
"Comes so close to defying formula and expectations only to conform to them."

Mark Dujsik
"I'd never have expected that the movie would be saved, just a little, from being complete bullsh*t by the presence of Aaron Eckhart."

"Even Aniston cannot make the antics forced on her by this screenplay look adorable."

2/10
"Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? When you use that title, you're asking for trouble."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
1.5/4
"Is this a movie or a feature-length advertisement for Qwest? We're not just talking one product placement; this brand name is nearly omnipresent."
