Love Happens

Dr. Burke Ryan is a successful self-help author and motivational speaker with a secret. While he helps thousands of people cope with tragedy and personal loss, he secretly is unable to overcome the death of his late wife. It's not until Burke meets a fiercely independent florist named Eloise that he is forced to face his past and overcome his demons.
A not unusual movie of the genre yet really poorly written. If you don't write characters worthy of each other's love, how can you expect actors to bring the romance home. Best performance of the piece was the cockatoo playing a parrot (cockatoos are one of 21 different species of parrots, but not the one you'd be most likely to call a parrot). I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. [RomCom]
