Ryan Reynolds did a terrific job in this film playing a father who is going through a divorce. He is a solid enough lead, with enough comic talent to keep things ticking over. The bulk of the film is him explaining to his daughter, (told in flashbacks) about love & how he met her mother, with her being the proverbial "happy ending". Except, she sees that her Dad really isn't happy. Abigail Breslin as the little girl 'Maya' is fabulous. Good casting, she's adorable without being perfect. Breslin also has great chemistry with Ryan Reynolds. Isla Fisher shines as April the photocopy girl who bickers & banters with him in the office. Watching her character grow into a real woman, complete with self-esteem, was a nice touch. Rachel Weisz as Summer who's into much older men, was completely charming. Elizabeth Banks (Emily), Fisher & Weisz are all comfortable enough as Reynold's love interests. Kevin Kline seems to be growing gracefully into more senior roles. He is an absolute delight as a drunken writer/professor who also happens to be quite full of himself. Weaving through the 90s the soundtrack's peppered with songs that defined the era & having MASSIVE ATTACK on it, is always a massive boost. The film is very entertaining, very romantic & if you want a completely enjoyable 2 hour escape, see this film.Read full review
A pleasant romantic film. It’s lighthearted and harmless. It’s particular strength is a strong cast, with chemistry between the leading actors. I found it an enjoyable and relaxing film and will certainly watch it again Great for wet Sunday afternoons or at Christmas, post dinner, when I want to watch something light and fluffy!
