Reynolds stars as Manhattan dad Will alongside on screen beauties Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Banks and Rachel Weisz. Will retells his past to his daughter Maya [Abigail Breslin] as a idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with these three very different women. Maya helps him to understand that it's definitely Read more
