My wife actually picked out this movie at blockbuster as the read on the back of the box looked interesting. The movie wasn’t as funny as I thought it was going to be, however the movie was most enjoyable and is a good romantic film that shows that any relationship can have its ups and downs but love is worth sticking it through in the end.
The movie focuses on Frank Allen played by (Ryan Reynolds) I have actually seen 2 Ryan Reynolds movies in 3 days, kind of weird, his other movie Definitely, Maybe was also a very good movie, but he plays a similar role. His character is a narrator of the story more or less in both movies, and he plays a similar character type.
So Frank Allen is a man who creates lists for everything and is very much organized and in order, rarely taking any unplanned chances or random acts. Though how he met and married his wife was a rather interesting story, and we learn this as we get more into the film. The movie all starts when his wife tries to insert a chore into his daily plan and sets the clock backward 10 minutes to give him some extra time to get the chore done. She accidentally sets the clock forward and causes him to lose 10 minutes however and his day is a complete mess. He misses his ferry, is late to his “Time Efficiency” seminar where he is the key speaker on how to be efficient with ones time.
Things spiral down hill from here and he blunders into a situation ending up in a hotel room with a groupie, he awkwardly escapes the situation but not before his wife assumes he has been cheating on her. This leads him to spending the night alone and almost getting into an accident with a woman in labor in her car. He drives her to the hospital and helps her get admitted, but when the mother runs away abandoning the baby Frank is left and listed as the father. His wife now thinks he has been having an affair, has a child with another woman, and he is left trying to explain all of this.
Just when you think things can’t get worse, they do and the rest of the film covers all of this. He learns that he isn’t the father of his daughter, but his best friend Buddy Endrow is (played by Stuart Townsend). So he assumes his wife had an affair on him, meanwhile she was just as shocked to learn it wasn’t Franks child, Buddy is shocked to learn he actually is a father and still loves and has loved Frank’s wife Emily (played by Susan Allen) the whole time.
The movie has one of the best endings out of this type of movie showing how true love overcomes many things and my favorite part is in the last several minutes of the film and how it all works out between the three of them. For a movie that I had never seen advertised, not even sure it came out in theaters, this was an unexpected treat and I would give it 4 out of 5 stars in the Romantic Movie genre.

Thank you for your comment, glad you liked my review. I actually enjoy movies of all types, and I do like romantic comedies too, which I know most guys don’t.
