Rated PG13 for language, sexualityStarring Ryan Reynolds, Abigail Breslin, Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fischer
Ryan Reynolds is William Hayes who finds himself being served divorce papers. Every week he spends several days with his pre-teen daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin, who's really starting to look like she's growing up). One night, she inquires as to how her dad and mom ended up together and what went wrong. In the process, we flashback to 1992, as Will relives his 3 serious love interests, although changing the names along the way, so Maya has to guess which one ended up being her mother: his college sweetheart "Emily", the smart seductive writer "Summer", and the loyal best friend through thick and thin "April".
It's the cute clever Valentine's Day movie for 2008. If it were 10-20 years ago, John Cusack would have been playing the main character. Personally, I thought it hit a bit too close to home, especially when it came to Will and April, as she's been the loyal friend wanting to be the girlfriend for so long, etc...
