Love Happens...

... just not to Jennifer Aniston. Well, at least not for very long, anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not mocking her situation. After all, how many of us out there can relate to that??

But here we are, watching a trailer for yet another romantic comedy type of movie where Aniston plays the same character she always plays-- slightly neurotic thirty-something woman meets man with lots of issues and they fall in love. Happily Ever After, The End.

This is not art imitating life.



No, I'm not mocking Jennifer Aniston, she is mocking us. Her own (very public) personal life is a living testament to the cruel ironies of the fact that the women she plays in her many, many rom-coms never really get such happy endings.

Thank you Hollywood, for putting together another completely unrealistic depiction of love that will lead us to believe that one day when we meet that absolutely fabulous man who is only passing through town, we will fall in love with him and he with us and then he'll change his whole life around (or your whole life around) so that we can be together and live happily ever after. Oh, and thank you for then getting the most romantically hopeless woman in Hollywood to play that girl so that we can all weep at the realities of our own, pathetic romance-less existences.

Love Happens? No, love doesn't happen. Sh!t happens.

And then I blog about it.
