This film is an interesting twist on the often mundane genre of romantic comedies. Ryan Reynolds, who has successfully gone beyond his previous role as teen movie heartthrob, is very appealing here. He plays it serious when needed, always charming and never too over the top. The story has Reynolds talking with his daughter, Maya, about why he’s divorcing her mother. Maya wants to know details about his past relationships, hoping it will help her see what might have gone wrong with her parents’ marriage. Reynolds confesses to having three serious relationships in his life, one of whom is Maya’s mother…but Maya is just going to have to guess which story is the one about her parents. Yes, it’s overly cutesy at times (I mean it IS a romantic comedy), but never too much. And unlike almost all “rom coms” of today, it is not entirely predictable. Sure, we know it will end happy but with whom will it end happy???? Watch and find out!
