What a cute movie! Romantic comedies ran out of originality long time ago. Of course, they are never meant to be. The formula includes the chemistry, the tug-of-war of characters, some situation-comedy, and just enough sappy emotion to earn this genre the alternative name of chick-flick.

Ryan Reynolds and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) play a divorced father and daughter. The story starts when she insisted to know his past relationships; he obliged but turned it into a game. Both the little girl and the audience kept on asking, "What next?" As the story unfolds, it gets a bit strange that a daughter can be so obsessive about her father's past. "Why is she so into this?" A little voice inside gets louder and building up the anticipation.

And that's the gripping part of this movie: part plot and part acting. Every characters is likable but the little girl was the best.

Not an ordinary chick-flick.
