Article: Eckhart's act hard to `Love'.(Arts and Lifestyle)

Byline: JAMES VERNIERE

"LOVE HAPPENS"

Rated PG-13. At AMC Loews Boston Common, Regal Fenway Stadium and suburban theaters.

Grade: D

Like to indulge in one of those bizarrely popular self-help books like "Chicken Soup for the Soul," but too lazy to read?

See "Love Happens," a self-help book in romantic-comedy movie form. But beware: If that combination sounds as nauseating to you as it does to me, you may lose your lunch before this is over.

Aaron Eckhart (he of the dimpled chin and glinting eyes) is Burke Ryan, guru to the grieving, easily gulled masses who've lost loved ones and have not been able to get over it.
