Genre: Drama/Romance/Comedy
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Abigail Breslin, Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz, Isla Fisher
Will (Reynolds) is a divorcee and his daughter Maya (Breslin) has recently received sex-education at a very premature age. Bursting with questions, one thing leads to another and Will ends up narrating her his love-life prior to her birth. He changes all the character names in his story so that Maya cant know which one is her mom. The story goes on to narrate Will's juggling love-live with Summer (Weisz), April (Fisher) and Emily (Banks). The movie is very simple and neat and unlike other romance movies, isn't loaded with sex and lame teen jokes. Very few movies base the story on a daughter-father relationship. It reflects to some extent, the typical urban American lifestyle. Ryan Reynolds nicely manages to switch roles between a college graduate, lover, to-be husband and a father. A movie that might just appeal to everyone and to some extent even to the romance hating ones.
Thumbs up: Clean and neat storyline, good performance
Thumbs down: Light humour would've been appreciated
Rating: 7.4/10
