Who’s in it:
Abigail Breslin, Ryan Reynolds, Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz, and Elizabeth Banks
The Basics:
As young Mia (Abigail Breslin) tries to understand her parents' divorce, she asks her father (Ryan Reynolds) to tell her the story of how they met. He turns it into a "love story mystery", making Mia guess who her mother is out of his soon to be ex-wife and the two girlfriends that he had before he got married. He changes all of their names and some of the facts so that she will have too figure it out on her own.
The Good News:
I thought that the acting was great. Abigail Breslin is incredible as well as the rest of the cast. I loved the idea of the movie, a romantic comedy combined with a more serious matter, divorce. It balanced out well and I really enjoyed that about it.
The Bad News:
It is hard for me to think of the bad news for this movie. One thing that was hard for me was that the actor who played the dad, Ryan Reynolds, usually plays a jerk in movies and in this one he played a very nice guy. He is a great actor but it was hard for me to make the switch.
The Verdict:
I would rate this movie a five. I thought that the story and the acting were both great and it was just an overall very enjoyable movie. I highly recommend it!
