i saw the movie definitely maybe recently. though corny , i actually really liked it . i'm a real sucker for those cutesy romantic comedies. unfortunately i arrived a tad late to the movie , so i missed the very beginning, which led to a little confusion on my part, but even so i really liked it. the movie was about a single dad telling his daughter how he met her mother and ultimately his finding true love. the part i really liked about it was that it started in pre-clinton '92, during the elections . ryan reynolds went to ny to be part of the campaign. to me that period in time was equal to the modern-day camelot (kennedy era). it was the only time in my lifetime that people were really excited about an election. it had been nice to see people being more positive about politics no matter how short lived it was. of course the movie kind of parallelled the decline and disillusionments of the clinton era to ryan's disappointing love life.
of course, i pay alot of attention to detail and what i really thought was cute was how they showed the progression in cell phone technology. the first phones shown in 1992 were huge, and they gradually shrunk. the movie soundtrack made me want to listen to nirvana again. another cute thing was how they really showcased nyc. i really love when movies do that. its enough years after 9/11 for me that i can just appreciate it without thoughts of reality stabbing me in the side.
