Aaron Eckhart, Jennifer Aniston in Love Happens

Directed by first-timer Brandon Camp, and written by Camp and Mike Thompson, the romantic drama Love Happens stars Aaron Eckhart as a widower whose book about coping with the loss of a loved one turns him into a self-help guru. Jennifer Aniston plays a woman our widower meets — and falls in love with — at one of his seminars in Seattle.

Also in the Love Happens cast: Martin Sheen, Joe Anderson, Judy Greer, John Carroll Lynch, Dan Fogler, and Frances Conroy.
Love Happens opens in the US on Sept. 18.
