This was a cute story. And it's one of Ben's better roles, but then Keven Smith always did control his actors well.
Particular gems: the daughter asking the video store girl what her intentions towards her father are after a similar scene with her father finding her with a little boy; doing Sweeney Todd for her school pageant; the carriage ride in New York City.
The little girl who played Ben's daughter was utterly amazing, and if we're really lucky, she'll be even better when she grows up. I would have liked a bit more of a conclusion in the father's life, as he's still trying to find his niche (personally, I think he should go into politics...), but as the story was really about father and daughter, it worked quite well.
