Love Happens

Love Happens is the story of Burke Ryan, who after losing his own wife writes a self-help book and leads others through their own grief via seminars. While in Seattle he literally bumps into Eloise (Jennifer Aniston), a florist who writes words like "quidnunc" and "poppysmic" under hotel artwork. After a few weak attempts to connect, Burke tells Eloise she is the first woman he's dated since his wife's death. Eloise helps Burke come to terms with his own grief and reconnect with his wife's father (Martin Sheen). Noteworthy, in this otherwise light diversion, is Judy Greer (27 Dresses, Elizabethtown, and all over TV)as Eloise's assistant and John Carroll Lynch as Walter, an ex-contractor grieving over the death of his son. Rent this chick flick for a rainy afternoon.

According to Wikipedia a "chick flick" is typically used only in reference to films that are heavy with emotion or contain themes that are relationship-based (though not necessarily romantic).
