I saw this film Oct 16th with Kirsty. I had been wanting to see it for a while, and I was not disappointed. It is one of those easy-going films that makes you smile. Like any films of this sort it is a bit predictable, but none the less worth seeing. In short it is about a man (Eric) and a woman (Holly), the best friends of a couple with a daughter (Sophie). They are the selected God parents for Sophie, so when the parents die in a car accident, Sophie and Eric are put in a difficult situation. Their best friends wanted them to raise Sophie together, and the problem is: they cannot stand each other.

Interesting fact: "Sophie" was played by tripletts Alexis, Brynn and Brooke Clagett.

I went and saw this film with movie buddy Kirsty on 24th Oct. I had seen the trailer previous to going, but wasn't sure quite what to expect. I found it fascinating because the film is about something current, on-going and unpredictable. Facebook has made Mark Zuckerberg to the youngest billionaire on the planet, and this film shows the details of how it all happened. Saying that, one should bare in mind that according to Zuckerberg, this film does not portray his side of the story. So if you do see it and decide you don't like the founder of Facebook, try to give him the benefit of a doubt. Obviously an added bonus for me personally was the rowing scenes of the film. Two of the main characters row at Henley Royal Regatta. Henley is the place I have been to for rowing training camp two years running now.
