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

C
"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"  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

D
"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."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

D+
"Oh, Love Happens, does it? Thanks, movie. Thanks for the evocative and powerful title. Way to show some effort."  Film.com  Eric D. Snider

F
"Yeah, love happens. So does something else. Sappy, overemphatic and cloying...[a] mountain of narrative cliches."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

"An ill-conceived dramady about love and grief."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

"Parental Content Review"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

1/5
"click for the full review"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

D+
"...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 Reviews Movies  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."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

C-
"Even Aniston cannot make the antics forced on her by this screenplay look adorable."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

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."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli
