The romantic drama has been a staple of cinema for decades, and experienced a huge boost in profile during the last decade thanks largely to those pesky Nicholas Sparks adaptations that arrived at regular intervals, but it wouldn’t be unfair to suggest that the genre has suffered just as many misses as it has hits.

For every heart-wrenching, tear-jerking story of love, loss and reconciliation, there’s something like Love Happens. It ticks all of the boxes you’d expect by featuring two beautiful people finding their budding relationship hit with setbacks and obstacles at every turn, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a movie more cloying or derivative.
