A romantic comedy that begins with a discussion about sex education and ends with a bit of an unexpected twist, Definitely, Maybe focuses on an engaging father and his 10-year-old daughter. She is curious about the women her dad loved prior to marrying (and separating from) her mother. Instead of telling her, "None of your business," he decides to tell her about them... Sort of. Will is played by Ryan Reynolds and his precocious daughter Maya is adroitly portrayed by Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine). Will figures out a way to tell Maya about his most meaningful relationships in a PG manner that also is interactive for her (Or as she describes it, "a love story mystery!"). Changing a few of their characteristics and disguising their names, Will tells her about three exceptional women and Maya tries to deduce which one became her mom. Was it Emily (Elizabeth Banks), the wholesome Midwestern girl afraid of the big city; Summer (Rachel Weisz), the exotic journalist; or April (Isla Fisher), the rebel with a cause? Hearing about all these women, Maya asks, "What's the boy word for slut?" Spanning 15 years, back to when Will was an idealistic young man with the hopes of one day becoming president of the United States, the film has a nice light touch and deals with father-daughter bonding issues in a unique, if not completely realistic manner. Reynolds is a genial but bland leading man, but the women--including young Breslin--more than hold their own in this fun film. --Jae-Ha Kim

Product Description
Ryan Reynolds and a bevy of excellent actresses star in this smart and touching romantic comedy about a little girl trying to understand her father's complicated history with women. Will Hayes (Reynolds) is in the midst of a divorce, and his 11-year-old daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) wants to understand what went wrong with her parents' relationship. She begs her father to tell her the entire story of how he met her mother. Will begrudgingly agrees, but changes the names of everyone involved, leaving it up to Maya to decipher who in the story is her mother. Thus Will begins his tale, weaving a romantic and amusing maze of missed connections and bad timing with the likes of three beautiful women: Summer (Rachel Weisz), April (Isla Fisher), and Emily (Elizabeth Banks). Will bounces from relationship to relationship, misunderstandings and confusion thwarting him every step of the way. Who will he end up with? Which woman is ultimately right for him? The film keeps Maya and the viewer guessing right until the very end, with a bittersweet but ultimately triumphant surprise twist tying it all together. Reynolds has long outgrown his VAN WILDER days, and does an excellent job of holding his own with the talented Fisher, Weisz, and Banks. The film is certainly a stand-out from the current crop of romantic comedies, in that the women are intelligent, well-drawn characters, and the relationships are painted with a funny, but realistic eye. And blessedly, it doesn't end with the standard blowout wedding that has become the hallmark of such films. DEFINITELY, MAYBE is a smart and sexy take on the complexities of love, and still manages to be kid friendly, while sending a very positive, honest message to children of divorce.

 Totally terrific! February 6, 2010
Therese A. Davis (ILLINOIS)
I love this movie! I saw it on cable a couple of times and never grow tired of watching it.. so much so that I purchased it for my library of "must have movies"...
It is just a feel good movie that refined the art of looking back at your relationships in life and being amazed at what the outcome could have been/should have been. It is well played by the entire ensemble. Can't miss with this one!
Isla Fisher will still your heart February 4, 2010

Definitley, Maybe is about a man Will played by (Reynolds)who decides to tell the story to his daughter played by (Breslin)of how he met her mother. By doing this Will gets a second chance on love by looking into his past and realizing its never too late to go back.
This is a pretty good movie for a romantic comedy. April played by (Fisher) is tottaly adorable in this film I love everything about her character especially her style and witty humor. In my opinion she makes the movie. I'd say only buy this movie if you love romantic comedies, other wise you will most likely be dissapointed.
Enjoyable but not amazing January 30, 2010
Erik C. Rivera
this is a decent movie that entertains you but is nothing more than another chick flick and does not have anything special.
Definitely Maybe January 3, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
A soon-to-be-divorced political consultant has to answer some hard questions from his 11-year-old daughter as he explains his past relationships. Definitely, Maybe is the best romantic comedy. You should definitely watch this movie with someone and have a great time.
