Synopsis:

 

Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad is in the midst of a divorce when his 10 year old daughter, Maya, starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad's romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it's definitely never too late to go back...and maybe even possible to find a happy ending.

 

Sue's Rating: B : I'm not a usual chick flick fan, but this is a cute one.  Interesting plot with the Dad talking about former girlfriends/lovers with his daughter.  Not sure the lover part makes for great father daughter conversations, but interesting movie fare.

 

The Freak's Rating: C- : I'm not a parent yet, but this one really stretched believability on what you would tell your child when they ask questions.  Inconsistencies abound in this story on a guy who can't make any relationships work.  I hope to one day converse with my child about my past and be as honest as I can be without being inappropriate.  Abigail Breslin is adorable as always in this film as the daughter, but one must wonder how far Ryan Reynolds will coast on his good looks and when he'll actually take an acting class if he wants to do anything past comedy. 

 

The "mystery" of the movie never actually holds any weight.  It is painfully obvious who is the girl's mother in the first twenty minutes of the picture and the inevitable reconciliation (of sorts) is obvious throughout as well.  There are some cute moments in the film, but it teeters a hair under mediocrity for me.

 

Jen's Rating: C : This movie was ok, I didn't like how it ended at all!  Abigail was cute in it as usual.
