Definitely, Maybe (2008)

The Worst Film Ever

Purely Joyful Movie!

Don't Believe the Hype

best movie i've ever seen.

I've always had a soft spot for this one, and well done romantic comedies in general. Yes, they are lightning rods for criticism, sometimes bordering on schmaltz and/or formulaic. However, 'Definitely, Maybe' avoids all that reasonably well, and is as entertaining for me as the classic films of this genre from yesteryear, with a script peppered with funny lines, a great cast, and an endearing plot. A young girl (Abigail Breslin) demands that her father (Ryan Reynolds) tell her about the time he met her mother, and why it is that despite falling in love then, they're now heading for divorce. Reynolds agrees under the condition he won't reveal which of the women in the story of his past ultimately became her mother. Told in a flashback, we see his early years working on the Bill Clinton presidential campaign, and the women in his life (Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher, and Rachel Weisz). All of the principals turn in strong performances, with Isla Fisher in particular dialing up her considerable charms. The subplot of collecting old editions of 'Jane Eyre' with inscriptions in them, along with the scene with the line "I kept the book because it was the only thing that I had left of you" is touching. The proposal scene in Central Park is also fantastic. Director Adam Brooks captures some great shots in New York and includes a great soundtrack. This is a smart, funny, and entertaining rom-com.

A political consultant tries to explain his impending divorce and past relationships to his 11-year-old daughter. Definitely, Maybe is 2008 Romantic, Comedy, Drama starring Ryan Reynolds, Rachel Weisz, Elizabeth Banks, Abigail Breslin, Isla Fisher and Kevin Kline. This is a film that although i've heard before i never actually saw until today of course and personally i loved it especially the father and daughter relationship between Will and Maya and both Reynolds alongside Breslin had a great chemistry together and it was so sweet and touching plus it's so heartwarming how he tells all those stories of the 3 women that he loved the most and how he met Maya's mother and to get there we have some twists and turns and it actually surprised me for a movie of this kind. Kline also shows up as a book writer named Hampton Roth and he does a really good job as well he is pretty funny actually. The movie is also touching but also smart and intelligent when it wants to be and it balances everything quite well and if you love any of this actors or just Reynolds you're really going to enjoy this film.

So you wanted to come here to see the review of movie and if you should watch it or not. This movie was made in 2008 and my girlfriend and I seen this movie at the Movies. She eventually saw how much I liked it and rented the DVD for me. This movie is a surprise all around. Every once in a while a movie will play it off like its some romantic comedy just to get viewers from all type of sexes. But this movie is told from a male point of view. The only one that I know of.I know most people have seen The Notebook. And all kind of other romantic movies. Those are all told from a woman perspective. Where everything ends happily ever after, and the woman is indecisive and guys treat her like garbage but she finds a prince or some nice guy (who is usually extremely attractive) she ends up with.Well that doesn't happen here. There are 3 women for the most part. All great actors. Another thing about some of those other romantic movies is the women are so predictable it doesn't give them a chance to act out their character. All three women in this movie are good actors. Especially the brunette and the red head. The Red head(isla Fisher) was a great actor. Simply sarcastic and really emotional at times even though her personality is "i don't care".Definitely something I've noticed even in my life. The attitudes of these women and their own relationships and how they ended are super realistic. The only thing that is not realistic is the little girl but hey they had to have something in their to attract audiences. And she was funny as well. Kind of had a dakota fanning attitude but less annoying to be honest.I'm not going to go through play by play with the movie. Who ever reads this will have to watch them movie. So if you are just on here to see if you really watch the movie, you should watch it. If you are on here to see if people agree with you I guess I would fall into the majority. 7.2 is really high for a grade for a movie on IMDb, cause most people rate the movies compared to the godfather and gone with the wind.Once again when my girlfriend first suggested this movie I was like "here we go, another chick flick", its going to be woman does what she wants, when she wants, men are jerks but she finds a guy who treats her nice, look good, and has a nice job while the other guy loses his job and ends up a loser". Yawn!!! But this movie did not end up like that and the sarcasm in this movie is wonderful.

Definitely my kind of chick flick. Definitely, maybe is probably one of the best movies to keep you company on rainy days and lonely nights. This romantic comedy keeps you intrigued and guessing from the very first second. The way the plot was delivered is beautiful! I liked the story line, i loved the characters although i hate Emily haha, i loved almost every single thing about this movie. It's funny and cute and romantic. There is one thing i don't love though, and it is the opening plot. I found the plot where the obviously not old enough kids were taught about sex inappropriate. Especially because Maya keeps saying penis and vagina and sex. I don't find it funny and i doubt it would make any difference if the entire introductory scene had been cut out from the movie. Definitely, maybe tells the story of how a man who's in the middle of a divorce and whose romantic relationships have always been a mess, figured out who his true love is while telling his daughter the story of how he met his going to be ex wife. I highly recommend this movie!
