The vital signs in Love Happens, a movie that feels likes a laboriously padded outline, are faint.

Excise the love story, and there's a pretty good movie buried within Love Happens struggling to get out, mostly to little avail.
Love Happens is an oddly upbeat title for a movie that is surprisingly sad.
That this superficial romance between a successful self-help author and a nurturing florist is also a film about overcoming the tragedy of losing a loved one only makes its clichd insipidity that much more irksome.
The title is a good indication of this movie's blandness and predictability.
No authentic emotion of any kind happens in this damp, Seattle-based romance, a fizzle for both stars.
