Definitely, Maybe?
Well...
Ehm....
No.
Definitely, No.

I love a good rom-com, the key word there is "good". The genre is second only to horror for shove ware. That is why when you see something great like Definitely, Maybe you are so thrilled.
Its the cast that make Definitely, Maybe so great. Ryan Reynolds, Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Banks and Abigail Breslin are all excellent. Even Rachel Weisz who I normally hate is great in this.
Definitely, Maybe the perfect easy watch, under deep analysis it would fall apart but if you take it as light entertainment there is a whole lot to love.

A very grown-up romantic comedy. It's funny, but not hilarious, heartwarming, but not clichéd. It's a sweet, funny and fresh romantic comedy. You don't get a lot of those these days.

A really nice movie narrated in a cute manner...

One of the much better (although predictable) romantic comedies I have seen in a while. Maybe this one worked for me coz I didn't know anything about the film before I started watching. So I had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
Great performances from the cast especially the kid Abigail Breslin, Kevin Kline and isla Fisher. Even Ryan Reynolds was not bad, but it was little hard to digest that he is a dad for a 11 year old. Saying this is the best thing since Annie Hall is a stretch. Worth a watch.

I've seen this little girl before, but I can't remember in which films. In this one she acts a bit too mature, nevertheless the girl is adorable, no doubt. The main character was not someone I'm willing to identify with, but he was rather convincing, must admit. The makers of "Love Actually" and "Notting Hill" appeared to be responsible for the script, so I had to watch this one, being a big fan of the quality-romantic-comedy.... Reasonably entertaining, beautiful women and a wonderful New York-background. But the rank of "Love Actually"? Not quite.....

I re watched this tonight and maybe liked it more than I ever did before.
It's a very sweet and charming story. Ryan Reynolds is extremely likable and toned down in it, which is not something you can say often about him.
The way the relationships play out are pretty realistic too. The college sweetheart and the romantic notions of the perfect future together that swiftly fall apart.
The fun and exciting relationship that pushes your boundaries a little until eventually they're pushed too much.
The right person at the wrong time. This is my favourite one. The idea that the timing is as important as the person, that you might have the right person in your life all along…

Thanks to a good script, a good direction from Adam Brooks, and a great performance from the entire cast (Ryan Reynolds was suprisingly good in his role and far different from his other action or comedy flicks and truely carries the movie) this movie is definitely the best romantic film of the year. The interaction between Will (Ryan Reynolds) and his daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) is very believable and sweet. The premise is also interesting as Will tells Maya his romantic history and makes her guess which one is her mother by changing the names of the three woman he cared for during his life (which makes things far much more interesting for the audience). The three woman are Emily…

Text book 3 star movie. Alright, but nothing more. I was hoping for a mixup of the characters from Ryan Reynolds' story in the end (Elisabeth Banks turning out to be Summer instead of Emily for instance). That could have added a star for originality and unpredictability. Now it's just a dime a dozen... Enjoyable, but common.

Me molesto el poco de vueltas que le dieron, llegó un momento en el que pareció que estaban desesperados por confundirnos para que el final fuera inesperado, pero igual fue muy obvio.
Y bueno, fue entretenida, termina bien, pero eso ya todos lo sabemos.

Party cliché, partly refreshing, all in all a great Saturday afternoon rom-com.

This is more traditional rom-com, but I like the premise. Will tells his daughter how he met her mother (which reminds me of the TV show). Of course there are more than one love interest in the story, so it's a fun game to actually discover which one he will end up marrying.
The premise is fun and it actually really works. I had to stop halfway through, and even though it was past midnight, my wife and I were very curious to continue it and learn the truth.
The three women in this story all had their charm. Emily (Elisabeth Banks) looked like the typical girl from a small town, not very ambitious and innocent. Of course that will…
