MPAA RATING: PG-13 for sexual content, including some frank dialogue, language and smoking
Starring Ryan Reynolds, Isla Fisher, Derek Luke, Abigail Breslin, Elizabeth Banks, and Rachel Weisz
Will is a 30-something Manhattan dad in the midst of a divorce whose 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. Will's story begins in 1992 as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin to work on the Clinton campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as an idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big-city politics. He also recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. Will hopelessly attempts a "PG" version of his story for his daughter and changes the names so Maya has to guess which woman her father finally married. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, the dependable girl-next-door Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? Is she his longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April (Isla Fisher)? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist Summer? 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...maybe even to find a happy ending. (Universal Studios)

Rachelle M., I could not agree more. HBO is included w/my apartment so I watched this stupid movie for free. It looked interesting at first, then I find out Hayes works for the Clinton campaign. I thought I could tolerate it, then they bash George W Bush when they see him on tv. One guy says, "If he's smart, he will stay out of politics and go back to baseball." I yelled at the TV, "Aside from supporting his dad, he was not in politics, DUMBASS!" I quickly changed the channel, which is something I also do if I come across MSNBC!!!!!!!

Definitely better than most romantic comedies. Maybe it could've been a little bit more realistic. I mean unless his (Will) memory is photographic than I can't judge,but who can really remember everything everyone said 12 years ago. But it's still a pretty good movie.

It look some time for me to warm to this movie. I admit, watching it on my laptop, over two days, between weekend chores probably isn't the best way to watch a movie and rate it fairly, but lets give it a go. When all is said and done, I rate the movie a solid C+, but if you were to catch me midway through, I would be on the verge of turning it off. Basically it picks up after a bit and ends well. Maybe you should read a magazine for the first hour.

The movie was great but the part about the mother just doesnt make snce.
Jester M. gave it a7:
The movie was very entertaining, and I would like to forward the motion that we don't allow right wing nutjobs to post reviews on Metacritic anymore. These conservative crazies shouldn't be afforded the same rights as us good freedom loving Americans. I doubt this will get posted as there is a double standard which allows the right wingers to get cart blanche when it comes to peddling crazy whereever they want, but when a good old fashioned liberal wants to enter the fray he gets shut down. Now, I know whoever the arbitrator of posting things on this site is, they are for sure a liberal.... so allow me to ask you friend... what are you prepared to do about it :)
Rachelle M. gave it a3:
Might be cute if you could get over a very young girl talking about sex pretty graphiclly, and the fact that the movie was obviously made by Democrats not afraid of blatantly putting their agenda into the movie.
Jay H. gave it a6:
Cute comedy romance, but it didn't "wow" me. Appealing performances, great cast with Isla Fisher standing out. Ryan Reynolds is quite good as well. It's a light and entertaining movie. It has some slow parts, but I never lost interest.
