Hampton Roth: Beauty, ideals, love, don't mean squat anymore. It's all about power and money.
Will Hayes: I've read every single one of your books and you're completely obsessed with power and money.
Summer Hartley: Oh, well that's because he doesn't have any. Right, babe?
Hampton Roth: Babe, I am about the love.
Summer Hartley: Oh. Yes.
Hampton Roth: As you know, that's why you keep me around, to keep that rampant rapacious ambition of yours in check.
[to Will]
Hampton Roth: I have a thought! Why don't you use that newly acquired scintilla of power and influence to get Summer here to write an article about your man Robredo? That way Summer gets a break, and you get the word out.
Will Hayes: And what do you get, Hampton?
Summer Hartley: Yeah!

Definitely a must see movie

I just saw this movie today and I loved it. I was the only teenage guy in the theatre also. The movie had a great message to it about always being happy. The little girl in this movie was also great she brought a lot to this movie, with out her this would not have been a good movie. The acting was good and the direction was especially good as well. I saw this with my dad today and it brought tears to his eyes. So this movie was also a tear jerker. For someone that loves romantic comedy movies I think would love this movie. It was a little slow moving but I kind of expected it to be. After it got near the end of the movie though it really got you thinking and wishing for him to end up with the girl he was meant to be with. It kind of also took little twists which were good as well. Ryan Reynolds did a terrific job in this movie playing a father who is going through a divorce. Then his daughter tries to help him find his true love. This movie was everything I hoped for so I think that you should definitely take someone to see this movie and have a great time.
