Directed by Adam Brooks
Starring
Ryan Reynolds
Abigail Breslin

Isla Fisher
Rachel Weisz
Release date February 14th 2008

I picked this movie up because Rachel Weisz (Rachel in About a Boy, Evelyn Carnahan in The Mummy and Evelyn O'Connell in The Mummy Returns. Fortunately she did not reprise her role in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, so her character was portrayed by Maria Bello. Good career move for Rachel. Bad career movie for Maria. Fail.) was in it, and I have a big crush on Rachel Weisz so much, that I believe my wife will end up looking like her. So with that out of the way, on with the review. This movie was okay. I like Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Hannibal King in Blade Trinity, or for those of you who are old school, Michael "Berg" Bergen on Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place.) Bergen. That's so cool. Anyways he's a cool guy and I'd be okay with the idea that when I grow older that I could turn out like him, especially in this movie where he plays a good dad. Everyones acting is good. It's good to see a film where Abigail Breslin (Sarah Davis in Raising Helen, Zoe Armstrong in No Reservations, and Little Rock in the upcoming film Zombieland, coming out this Friday, October 9th) isn't an orphan. Yes, all three films that I mentioned involves her parents dying with her and if she's lucky, siblings being the only survivors. Heck, even her small role in Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement she played an orphan. Anyways, all three women in this film who could be her mom are incredibly hot, I mean extremely beautiful and attractive in their own way. ElizaBeth Banks (Beth in The 40-Year Old Virgin, Beth in Role Models. What's up with that? Maybe it makes it less confusing playing a character named after oneself?) plays Sarah Hayes who seems like the perfect small town girl. Isla Fisher (Gloria Clearly in Wedding Crashers, Denise in Hot Rod) is that girl from the big city who likes to try out new and exciting things, and Rachel Wesiz is that uber smart one who likes to sleep with her college professor. So what is this movie about? It was kind of confusing, so I'm going to uncomplicate it for you. This little girl whose parents are like separated asks her dad what her mom is like. Side note. She knows her mom. She lives with her mom sometimes. She just wants to know what her mom was like when her dad met her mom, not that her mom is dead or absent or that she has no idea who her mom is which for some strange reason this film seems to imply. So he tells a story that unravels as the film progresses about his past and the three women that were apart of his life and tells his daughter to guess which girl ended up being her mom. Weird? Yeah. Cute? Sort of, but not really because if a dad did this to his 12 year old daughter, she would probably be confused, then get bored, and then go to sleep. The end. Will you get bored and fall asleep? Not unless it's late and you have no interest in this film because you think that it's a chick flick and you have class the next day like my roommate, but even though all these things are true, he was interested enough to watch the first part of this movie. It will keep you interested enough to finish the film, which I guess is part of the point when it comes to the movie making business, but is it worth your 3 bucks or whatever you pay to rent a movie? Yeah sure. A dollar for each girl right? No, sorry. Bad thought. Anyways the question to ask is, "Will this movie change your life?" Probably not, but if you're just trying to find a movie that will entertain you and your girlfriend or your own boredom than sure why not. You'll watch it. You'll forget it. And...
................................................................................................................... what was I writing about? Oh yeah, that movie with Rachel Weisz where she's hot... Wait. That's every movie she's been in so far. So go rent one of those other films. I suggest starting out with The Mummy then The Mummy Returns. Chicks who fight with knives and do the splits. Oh Yeah. That's Hot.
