Love Happens to Other People.

Today I saw the trailer for the new Aaron Eckhart/Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy, Love Happens. The plot is something along the lines of Eckhart being a widowed self help author who meets Aniston, who’s a florist, and they, you know, come together. There’s some ups, some downs, but eventually two become one between America’s favorite Friend and Robert Redford 2.0 with that thing in his chin.

Aaron Eckhart: Always likable. Against your will likeable. Part of the reason that Erin Brockovich was better than it had any right to be. So likable that you were rooting you sometimes found yourself rooting for Two Face in The Dark Knight. So unbelievably likable that I can probably still watch Your Friends & Neighbors mutliple times.

Jennifer Aniston: Well, I’m glad to see she still does movies sometimes in addition to always appearing in places where we can gossip about who she’s dating now. That said, John Mayer? You may deserve what you get there. You used to be a meaty contender for America’s Sweetheart and it leaves me quite dismayed that the only movie roles that come your way are as some guy’s girlfriend.

Dan Fogler: I don’t like him.

Judy Greer: Likable in everything, but not quite to the extent of Mr. Eckhart. She did, after all, do Jawbreaker, and that should’ve lead to some jail time maybe.

Martin Sheen: I’m sorry to see President Bartlett having to keep slumming like this.

Final thought: Let’s declare a moritorium on viewing any movie that actually has a Goo Goo Dolls song used in it’s trailer, please?
