Description:
From the makers of Notting Hill and Love Actually comes the charming and irresistibly funny romantic comedy Definitely, Maybe. When Will (Ryan Reynolds) decides to tell his daughter (Abigail Breslin) the story of how he met her mother, he discovers that a second look at the past might also give him a second chance at the future. Co-starring Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz and Isla Fisher, it's the heartwarming story that makes you realize it's definitely never too late to go back…and maybe find a happy ending.

Amazon.com:
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

Rating : - "LOVE's" Story (Life?)... For All !!! Well... Over 11 Yrs Old !?!


Wow!! What a wonderful movie!! I was pleasantly surprised!! I thought, "Oh boy another romantic, mushy movie" - but no!!!

This movie was very captivating, entertaining and alluring, invoking you to play along ...Who was to be Dad's future wife?

Huh?!?

Our main character [Ryan Reynolds] is pretty much divorced when the movie starts... all he has to do is sign the papers which arrive in the very first scene.

In comes his 11 year old daughter [Abigal Breslin] whom he has to pick up from school that day. When our man (dad) arrives at school everyone... child, teacher and parents alike are all in frenzy!!

Why? ...This day was the daughter's/students first sex education class.

Result? Questions upon questions, leading to the demanded telling of Dad's relationships [lol!! starting right after college] and how she (the daughter) came to be.

The twist and rules that follows are the best part... all the names are to be changed and in the end the daughter has to figure out who was to be her mother, how it came to be that her father and mother got married and ultimately had a child!!!

Who mom was to be!?! Fun and charming filled with many loops and turns!!

There are no real clues [except for your personal deduction] until the very end!!!

What a ride... . Kudos!! 5 Stars!!
