That was an excellent one.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Definitely Maybe is a good movie with a well developed plot and a great comedic cast. It's an enjoyable, original romantic comedy that, despite its premise, is actually not predictable, it is genuinely intriguing for us as an audience to find out who ends up being Maya's mother. Ryan Reynold's brings in excellent charm in the lead role and seems to have instant chemistry with the all the main actresses, particularly Isla Fisher and Rachel Weisz. The plot can be a bit convoluted at times and had several plot points that felt unnecessary, such as making Bill Clinton's run as president a major part of the story, it took me away from this movie when they began speaking about real events. I would love to have seen more of Hampton, Kevin Kline's brief portrayal of the character was funny and natural, I think he really could have added another layer to the film if he had a bigger role. It certainly has its flaws, but Definitely Maybe is a sweet, different romantic comedy and if that's what you are looking for, that's exactly what you will get. A man tells his daughter about the series pf events leading up to her birth. Best Performance: Kevin Kline

The set-up for this film is that a father is divorcing and his daughter, Maya, is asking him about how he met her mother. The guy then talks about a variety of women he dated and slept with as the child makes occasional commentary to interrupt the story. Some of her clever and charming remarks are calling one lady a B$%&@ and later, her father a slut. Later, when you learn which one of them is her mother, she announces that she 'just learned all about sexual intercourse in school'. Later, the child gives her now to be divorced father dating advice. Charming....NOT!I did not like this film, though the acting was very, very nice. As a retired psychotherapist, I thought that the boundaries between the child (who seemed way too old for her years) and her father were blurred. The adult here was not him, that's for sure. Additionally, there are a lot of political elements in the film (because he's a political operative)--not a bad thing in a drama, but not exactly something I want to see in a romantic film. Nothing destroys romance like politics!!Overall, I'd say 'nice try but no cigar'. This is a film that too flawed to be worth rushing out to see. It's strange father-daughter situation aside, the story just seemed way too with-it and hip in its parenting style for my tastes. To me, romance should be romantic...and this really wasn't. Additionally, the child seemed like a child as written by someone who's never even seen a child or talked with one! The DVD for "Definitely, Maybe" starts off very badly--and this might only be with the Netflix version. It forces you to watch a LONG preview for "Mama Mia!"--whether you want to or not. I dunno about you, but this definitely makes me MUCH more inclined NEVER to watch a film they force you to preview...never.

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!

Definitely, Maybe is a 2008 romantic comedy film directed by Adam Brooks, and starring Ryan Reynolds, Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz, Elizabeth Banks, Abigail Breslin and Kevin Kline. IMDb gives it 7.2. According to Rotten Tomato it scored 72% A love triangle. Its about a good boy haunting for love. A political consultant tries to explain his impending divorce and past relationships to his 11- year-old daughter. And see what happen next. Ten-year-old Maya (Abigail Breslin) is heartbroken to see her parents splitting up, but she's determined to find out precisely how it was that mom and dad came together in the first place. When Maya starts questioning her father Will (Ryan Reynolds) about his life before marriage, dad's memories soon drift back to the time when, as a naïve Wisconsin native and aspiring politician hoping to work on the presidential election, he first arrived in New York City. As Will gradually became savvy to the ways of the big city, he gradually developed romantic relationships with three very different women: Emily (Elizabeth Banks) was the girl-next-door that he could always depend on, apolitical April (Isla Fisher) was the best friend and confidante who was always there to listen, and free-spirited journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz) was both beautiful and ambitious. In order to prevent his perceptive little girl from predicting the outcome before his story is told, Will carefully changes the names of his three romantic interests, creating a hopelessly romantic puzzle that highlights both the joys and hardships of true love. Dun forget to watch out Abigail Kathleen Breslin's acting (an American actress. She is one of the youngest actresses ever to be nominated for an Academy Award )
