I probably should give it 2 stars but looking at Aaron Eckhart is worth one star alone. That said, there is no chemistry between the characters - I couldn't work out why they would fall in love. Jennifer Aniston's character is almost a cliche - cute girl, little zany, cute car, zany best friend, cute job - you get the idea. Aaron Eckhart's character is more real but John Carroll Lynch, who plays a grieving father, steals the show. His character had me in tears. I didn't think it was even vaguely funny - and it certainly isn't a romantic comedy. The romance is contrived - girl and boy meet, don't like each other, like each other, then don't and finally do -that's the oldest plot in the book. Just a very ordinary movie
