Reynolds not believable as a father


I think he is funny in some of the films I have seen in him.

But not buying him as a father, his scenes with Amanda Breslin seem more like a guy stuck babysitting a kid he doesn't really know than her father.

I thought the same thing But then Im reminded of Kevin Federline.

I thought they were cute together. My only problem was the fact that he didn't age atall.

they were cute with each other, and i agree with what someone said above it did seem like he was stuck with her like a babysitter. At one point i thought she was Summer's(when she said she was pregnant) and that she had died and he was taking care of the kid as he was close to her...

He seemed a bit young, but I still believed him to be a father. I saw the father-daughter chemistry. I didn't get a babysitter vibe at all really.

Same here. I thought they fit together great as father and daughter and I found that dynamic completely believable.

he looked 30 but was supposed to be 40 im assuming

Ryan Reynolds is a great actor, but was probably the wrong choice to play her father. He looked too young. He seemed more like he was her much older brother telling a story of how their parents had met.

In my opinion, he also looked younger than Emily and Summer. Him and April looked the same age, so that was believable. Actually in real life, Ryan was born in 1976, and so is Isla Fisher, so they are the same age. Rachel Weisz was born in 1970, so she is 6 years older than Ryan. And Elizabeth Banks was born in 1974, so she is 2 years older than him. Everyone looked their age I guess.

I sometimes don't read the bottom of posts because I think it's a signature.

Isn't that the case with a lot of fathers in real life?
