Love Happens
The film tells the romantic story between a widower whose book about coping with loss turns him into a best-selling self-help guru, and a hotel florist has had enough of men and dating. When he falls for her, it's when he learns that he hasn't yet truly confronted his wife's passing.

The film is part romance, part drama, part Seattle travelogue, with Washington emerging as the only true winner. Along with the benefactors of the movie's copious product placements, that is.

For as much as this movie tries to wrap itself around an emotionally powerful story, I felt there was a great emptiness inside.

The sorrowing widower is a great subject for film romance; but the point is to let the girl have a proper crack at cheering him up. And, as always with love, a GSOH would help.

Call it a romantic comedy or romantic drama; you're still not going to giggle, your heart won't be warmed and ultimately, you'll leave unsatisfied.
