Are you my mother?,
By Amanda Richards (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Definitely, Maybe (DVD)
Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):1. Will's getting divorced 2. His daughter's learning about the birds and the bees in school 3. He agrees to tell her about his love life and how he met her mother 4. Names were changed to make it a mystery 5. Emily was his first love 6. Summer lovin' had him a blast 7. He had pieces of April 8. The main mystery is why he'd share all this information with a ten year old 9. We learn about the women in his life through flashbacks to the Clinton era 10. Can you guess who's the Mummy? 11. Meet the Mummy 12. Life goes on Ryan Reynolds plays Will, a boyishly cute but rather bland and naïve political speech-writer who's about to get a divorce. Abigail Breslin compensates for his blandness as his precocious daughter Maya. Through a series of flashbacks, Will tells Maya about his first love Emily, his friend April and his second love Summer. He changes the names to make it a mystery. TMI IMHO Maya (and the audience) try to work out which one is Maya's mother in this light romantic movie that's light on the comedy too. Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher and Rachel Weisz carry most of the movie, while Kevin Kline provides the majority of the humor as eccentric writer Hampton Roth. Recommended as a rental for an idle afternoon, and rated 3.5 stars Amanda Richards

Une belle histoire, comme on sait les vivres...,
This review is from: Definitely, Maybe (DVD)
Votre fille suite à votre séparation avec sa maman vous demande son histoire, votre histoire, celle de votre vie amoureuse et elle veut tout savoir ce qui a fait que vous soyez où vous en êtes rendu... pas toujours facile de faire ce genre de retour en arrière et de toujours paraître aussi bien que l'on l'est maintenant... de faire comprendre nos choix et je dirais même de les assumer de nouveau...Par contre cela est vraiment bien, fait, tout homme pourrait vivre ce genre d'histoire si ce n'est la fin qui est un petit peu "trop" romancé pour bien finir, mais sinon c'est vraiment bien foutu et on s'y retrouve un peu, amour, déception, échec, remises en question et j'en passe... la vie est bien compliqué surtout quand on ne sait pas trop ce que l'on veut et encore moins comment l'obtenir ! Heureusement que sa fille Maya est là pour l'écouter et commenter, disons que cela rend encore plus le côté charmant de l'histoire et lui redonne plus le goût de continuer encore, c'est commentaires à cette petite princesse sont tout simplement adorable !

I just finished watching it....,
By Fantasy Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Definitely, Maybe (DVD)
Wow, what a great movie. I havent seen such a heart-felt romantic comedy in so many years and this really jumpstarted that romantic side of heart that's been dying to see a good romantic comedy. This movie is simply superb in execution and performance... touching and funny in all the right places and I never once felt bored despite its seemingly long duration. I thought of doing some internet surfing but couldnt bear to tear my eyes away and miss those good moments, and there are many.I would rate this on the top of my list for romantic comedies. I hope we see more of Ryan Reynolds because I liked him a lot in 2 guys and a girl and a pizza joint. The actresses were all memorable and amazing (especially Isla Fisher). Anyways, you cant go wrong with this one when you want to make your heart warm a little. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

Definitely True,
By Harold A. Fretheim - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Definitely, Maybe (DVD)
Is Ryan Reynolds capable of making a bad movie? I am sure he must have somewhere, but I have yet to see one. And this film may be the best one yet. All three of the leading ladies were good, with Isla Fisher pitch perfect. And young Abigail Breslin will surely be a gem for decades to come.A good comedy shows us things about human nature and truth. It is no accident that the only great writer who appears in any of Plato's Dialogues is Aristophanes [in the Symposion]. Even the ancient Greeks understood this simple fact- that comedy can teach the deeper truths about humanity far better than drama. This comedy goes far beyond the usual cheap Hollywood formula to truly explore what happens as people fall into and out of love- and perhaps how real love begins. This is not about winning or losing at love- rather it is about how our character is what makes love possible- or impossible. In short, this film really explores that part of human nature that is entertwined with romance. Aristophanes would have approved. So this actually is a romantic comedy that does not follow the standard formula. Yet, despite the premise, it DOES have a happy ending. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Funniest Lines Came From Maya,
By Alyice Edrich "TheDabblingMum.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Definitely, Maybe (DVD)
This was billed as a romantic comedy but I didn't find it anywhere near a comedy. Maya delivers the best comedic, if not the only, comedic lines. That being said, it was a nice family film. Will is reluctant to talk about his past because it's "complicated" and Maya is tired of hearing "it's complicated". Finally, the two make a truce and Will shares his life's story--romance wise--with as much innocence as he can muster up. But as the story unfolds, it's not Maya that gets a lesson in life, but Will. Some consider the character of Will to be rather dull, but you have to remember that he's supposed to be depressed. He'd gotten burned so many times in his relationships--his best friend, his girlfriends, his job--that he's all but given up on finding true happiness. When his daughter tells him he needs to get happy again, he tries to tell her that he is--that he has her, but wise beyond her years, she sets him straight. She loves that he feels she's the best thing that ever happened to him, but she knows he needs more, he deserves more. If you spend your life doing everything for your children and find that you aren't as happy as you'd like to be and worry that doing things for you--to make you happy--could hurt your children's happiness, then you must take a queue from Maya and find happiness because when you are happy, so are your children.
