I watched this on TV this morning. Based purely on the fact that Jennifer Aniston was in it. I knew very little about it. Except the brief synopsis in the TV guide.I'll admit from the off, that I am bias. I love Jennifer Aniston. With her gorgeous girl next door looks, and rubbing personality. I adore her, and will usually give anything she is in a chance. But her movie career has been very hit and miss. For every 'We're The Millers' there is a 'The Switch' Plot In A Paragraph: A widower (Aaron Eckhart) whose book about coping with loss turns him into a best-selling self-help guru, falls for a florist (Aniston) he meets at the hotel where his seminar is given.Incorrectly billed as a romantic comedy, I didn't laugh once. And that's not cos it is a bad movie. It's just it's more of a human drama.And a fairly decent one at that. The movie has a lot of things that hit the spot, all the performances are spot on, the score is superb and is a real asset to the movie. For a first time director I was very impressed. Having since looked in to it, I now know this movie tanked at the box office. I think had it being sold it differently it might have done differently.

I'm gonna make it short and crispy. Don't watch it and don't waste 110 minutes of your valuable life. One reason why I got this movie was the cast. Second reason, I was almost done with the unwatched movies of my collection. Third reason, the title of the movie sounds something like "Love Actually", which is one of my favorites. But it is so disappointing.While I was watching, I was just waiting, waiting, waiting that whether it might give me something interesting. But, huh! Not at all. Just a mere waste of time! There was no single instance where I even smiled. So beware, guys! Absolute non-sense movie.

A romantic drama with Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston seems promising, huh? Of course. Aaron has had some breakthrough roles and Jennifer is always beautiful. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. Although they look like a nice couple, the movie itself had lots of deficiences. It didn't gel and I felt bored.Burke (Aaron Eckhart) is more interesting than Eloise (Jennifer Aniston), but still falls short. The story around him is far too superficial. Eloise looks great, but yeah.. that's about it.Romantic drama? Yes. Good Romantic drama? No. More like an average or below that. Sometimes love happens, sometimes not. It doesn't happen with this film.

This is basically a film dealing with people who are expert at giving advice but cannot deal with their own personal lives. In the film, Aaron Eckhart plays a widower who basically does grief seminars with people. His wife was killed in a tragic auto accident and the truth be told, he has not been totally forthcoming about the accident.While giving one of his seminars, he meets Jennifer Aniston, who has just broken up with her boyfriend, and you know where this is going. Martin Sheen plays his understanding father-in-law.There is generally not much going on between Aniston and Eckhart in this film.
