most groan-worthy moments

This was - truly - the worst movie I've seen in some time with a script that could've been better written by most of the people in the audience (who were mostly silent, in shock I guess, throughout most of the screening)...

Worst moments?

- the lady who made the cookies with her dead husbands ashes- a major collective groan in the theater at that one...

- the lady who made a cast of her dead husband's 'you know' so they could still do 'you know.' Again- just hideous film-making...

that's in addition to all the cliches we were assaulted with...
-the guru who walks on hot coals
-the 'candle of truth' or whatever
-the cute babe who drives an obscure vintage vehicle
-the quirky, poetry-slammin' sidekick of said babe who gets a standing O for saying 'phallis...'

I could go on but please stop me by adding to the list.

The scene where they walk down the aisle of The Home Depot putting tools into Walter's basket. Rolled my eyes at that one.

The slow clapping after he admits the 'truth' - vomit!

I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not

[–] cc79090 14 years ago

Amen to that, brother! This scene followed the "slow clap" recipe laid out in Not Another Teen Movie, to the letter.

Love Happens was a bad movie, even as a diversion while stuck on a plane for 11 hours.

Haha exactly what I was thinking when I watched it!

lol, you too? I just watched this awful movie on an 11 hour plane ride as well.

This thread was 10 times more entertaining than the movie and wasted 10 times less of my life. Worse yet i read it before the clapping scene so it was just even more awkward. jesus h christ

One I noticed is when she found out the truth - that got a huge groan out of me as I kicked myself for not having copped to "the truth" earlier...

Even having this cliched knowledge could not have possibly prepared me for the groanfest that came after. What a horrendous scene! really terrible

About 30 minutes earlier, I wrongly figured out the "truth" was that he was driving drunk when he killed his wife - but he didn't go that far.

Groan-worthy moment - Eloise tells him the flowers blooming at his wife's funeral were out of season - that was very ham-handed filmmaking. As if she would blurt that out just like that.

The slow clap scene was the worst, by far. Watching it alone at home, I actually groaned out loud.

[–] user-549-838863 14 years ago

If I see that slow clap crap again in a movie I think I will actually vomit right there in the theatre. I saw this last night in an open air cinema (in Australia) and it POURED with rain for the first 20 minutes I was undercover though) and I felt so bad for the people getting wet that they suffered through all that in the hope that this was going to be a good movie. It wasn't. The acting was good but the story sucked!

When takes him to her mother's house and of course, her mother knows who he is immediately and is all in love with him.

Another woman who is the perfect little flower shop owner was groan-worthy. How many times has that storyline been played now.

Setting the bird free in the woods. I reached immediately for the vomit bag on the airplane where I was watching this garbage.

[–] user-549-838863 14 years ago

Ha! I liked your comment it made me laugh out loud;-) Imagine being stuck on a plane with that crap!

[–] Monknificent 10 years ago

Although to be fair, that cute parrot was the best thing about this leaden clunker.
I kinda cheered for him on the inside when he finally flew away - fly, little guy, fly free of this stinking pile of "love". Alas, he came back. Sh!t happens.

[–] gmisc8 14 years ago

When he's at the flower shop and finds copies of people's messages and reads them out loud. And of course she has saved a little collection of the most groan-worthy ones!

Watching a concert from a telephone truck. I actually thought he would refuse to go up in the lift-thingy, since he refuses to ride elevators - that might have actually made it funny instead of a groaner. But then again, maybe not...

I was groaning and rolling my eyes right from the start all the way through to the end.

This Burke Ryan self help "Guru" spouting every self help cliche ever written. And all of his following came across as just plain dumb one dimentional characters hanging on to his every cliche, (except the bald guy).

Sheen at the end getting up on stage for a tearful hug.. oh come on please. His whole performance was phoned in.

I expected more from Ekhart. He was terrible in this film, quite unlikable. Anniston was her usual self (which I don't mind) at least you know what you're gonna get. I think they could have made her look better in her opening shot.

And if I see another movie with the lead girl owning a florist I think I'm gonna puke. At least they didn't set the story in New York, but Seattle was groanworthy enough for me.... great film.

lol what pissed me off about the telephone pole lift truck thing...is wasn't that still the day after he burned off the soles of his feet? It looked like that lift-thingy made them both have to stand...for an entire concert...ealrier in the day he was gimping around in sandals and then suddenly he is okay to stand for three hours? Noo.

[–] Laurynmari 13 years ago

Worst film EVER!!! So so pointless, cliched, just total rubbish to the point there was no sense in it!! I certainly groaned a lot through this and felt cringe pretty much most of the duration of the film. A couple of hrs of my life completely wasted!!

Take no crap. Be your own person. .

"We didn't just lose a daughter, we lost a son".

The cliché zany shop assistant.

The way he had the whole of the top of the Space Needle to himself, no other tourists were there.

The running into the seminar from the back of the room shaking hands. And someone is sat in the crowd wearing an 'A-OK' baseball cap.

The part where Jennifer Aniston was on screen and talking or doing sign language.
