A little girl’s first Sex Education class raises questions in her mind about where she came from, and raises the word “penis” repeatedly to her lips. The answers take the form of a “mystery love story” in which her father recounts in flashback his entanglement with the three leading ladies of his life. What’s unusual, and not uninteresting, about this juggling act is the length of time that all three balls are kept in the air. But the juggler, the beady-eyed and metallic-voiced Ryan Reynolds, is not a man who projects honesty of feeling or elicits sympathy of response. With Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz, Abigail Breslin, and Derek Luke; written and directed by Adam Brooks. (2008) — Duncan Shepherd
