Wounded Jennifer

The wife and I watched "Love Happens" Saturday which, as the HBO description says, tells the story of "a widowed self-help guru and a wounded florist find love when they least expect it."

For some reason, the phrase "wounded florist" just slayed me, and making "wounded florist" jokes all throughout the movie was about the only thing that made it bearable. Sure, there was some affecting stuff involving Aaron Eckhardt getting over his wife's death, but that was followed immediately by an elaborate sequence involving the kidnapping of a parrot. Aniston, meanwhile, was woefully miscast- when I hear "bohemian chick who dates musicians and drives a van that looks like it was borrowed from Shaggy and Scooby," my first thought is totally "Jennifer Aniston."

By the way, if you Google the phrase "wounded florist," all of the top 15 results refer to this movie, with the exception of the Amazon page for another movie, 1996's "Bed of Roses," in which "Christian Slater is a soulful, wounded florist who's looking for a second chance at love."

By contrast, in the movie "The Town" Pete Postlethwaite plays a florist who has likely wounded many, many people.
