OH DEAR. Poor Jennifer Aniston can’t even get her romance right on screen these days, never mind in real life. This pseudo rom-com lacks the key ingredients of either romance or comedy. Aniston is Eloise, a Seattle florist who tends to make poor boyfriend choices. Enter Aaron Eckhart as Burke Ryan, a widower who has turned the death of his wife into a self-help crusade, with packed out seminars and a soon-to-be-signed big TV deal. Can the two find love together? Well, frankly who cares? A dull script and the fact we never really know who the real Ryan is, beyond the annoying American evangelist we see on stage, means this film falls flat on its face. You can actually visibly see the two leads lose any real interest half way through. Avoid. Is Aniston too old for these roles now?Read
