Ryan Reynolds being one of my favourite actors, i had quite a huge expectation from him. This time he plays a soon-to-be divorced dad that receive hard-hitting questions from his ever cute but irritatingly curious daughter played by Abigail Breslin and is forced to tell her the story of how he and her mom met.
Ryan reynolds did not disappoint as he made the role his own blending comedy and drama in this touching tale, but i have to say the performance of co-star was almost on par bringing the onscreen father-daugther chemistry up a notch. The movie being slightly before two hours brings the audience through an emotional rollercoaster which you can expect in a chick flick, but it was interesting to see that each audience was rooting for a different girl to be the one that would end up with our protaganist but the weird thing was everytime the guys buy a ring to propose to the girl, the girl screws everything up. Just like how his daughter put it...its complicated. And that's what it was, it was complicated without comprehend as there were quite a number of twist to his story. However as the story unfolds, some questions are answered yet others still remain a mystery even after you leave the theater.
The casting was quite good as each actress matches the personality of the character they play but in my opinion, I would have never thought of Rachel Weisz to be the slutty type. She looked like the elegant, sophisticated and motherly type, but not the slutty type. Maybe, I'm just recalling her role in 'The Mummy' movies, but out of the three girls, I would have to say, April(Isla Fisher) was my favourite because I think her character really had that something that really enticed me. She had that cuteness but she wasn't all looks. She had independant views on the world around her, smart, knows what going on in the world, her ambition to travel and even likes nirvana. If you ask me, it is no wonder Ryan Reynold's character fell for her(I would've too).
All in all, its just another feel good movie with a happily ever after at the end. A definitely, maybe, good, movie to watch if you need a lift to your day.
A part I like in the movie;
Maya Hayes (Abigail Breslin): What's a threesome?
Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds): It's a game, that adults play sometimes... When they're bored.
Maya Hayes: ...Whatever.
Another is;
Maya Hayes: Dad, I can't believe you drank... and smoked... and was such a slut... But I still love you.
