Ryan Reynolds (yeah, the one who is engaged to Scarlett Johansson) is Will Hayes, who gets served his divorce papers. His adorable daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) wants dad to tell her how he met mom. Maybe by doing so, he'll learn what went wrong. Dad decides to make it a game. There will be more than one woman involved. He's changing the names and she'll have to guess who mom is. The flashback tale includes college sweetheart Emily (Elizabeth Banks), her friend Summer (Rachel Weisz), a journalist living with a bigtime writer and April (Isla Fisher) a kinda dingy but sweet worker at a campaign headquarters. Who is mom material? You'll be guessing.

Video/Audio: The widescreen picture offers good color, a kind of soft focus that suits the romantic story. Not amazing but fine for this type of film. Sound is Dolby 5.1. Ambient sounds outside and in are very real and sharp. Dialogue comes through very well. No probs!
