It �s a play on words - kind of like a pun,

A candle has a flame and the cotton piece that you light is a wick.

An old lover is a an old flame because they made your heart burn with love!

The caption says:

Charlie is stunned to learn his ex-girlfriend is now a man (Chris O �Donnell).

His old flame (his old girlfriend has had a sex change operation and has become a man)
and now has a penis (wick)

Hope this helps
I couldn �t get the film to play, but I read what it was about.
