Definitely, Maybe good, despite precocious tween
Definitely, Maybe
Definitely, Maybe follows the ups and downs of falling in and out of love, with some surprises and laughter, make this movie a hit.
Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds), upset because of his impending divorce, somehow gets talked into telling his 11-year old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin) about how he met her mother. He decides to take her on the journey of his life, and all his previous relationships.
The deal is that he will change all of the names, and some of the facts, and Maya has to figure out which one of the three fabulous women from Will's past is her mother. Will it be Emily (Elizabeth Banks), Will's college sweet heart, Summer Hartley (Rachel Weisz), the mysterious writer, or April (Isla Fisher), the laid back copy girl?
Through this journey of love, with his divorce floating above him like a big dark cloud, can Will have a happy ending?
I loved this movie. The way that the movie was laid out, and presented to the audience, kept it unpredictable, and full of surprises. This was a very nice change from the average romantic comedy that seems to follow the same formula.
Ryan Reynolds (Smokin' Aces), was phenomenal. This role was made for him. Being romantic, funny and serious all in one movie, is his forte. He could be witty, goofy and very lovable, but when the time called for it, he could be intensely deep, sad and broken. He is a very versatile actor and I am proud to have him as a fellow Canadian. The three leading ladies in this movie were all polar opposites of one another.
Elizabeth Banks (Fred Claus) was great playing the cute, reserved and humble character and was almost the opposite of Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener), who played the mysterious, sultry and provocative girl. Isla Fisher (Hot Rod) was awesome. I love watching her because she has a lot of spunk, while being cute and quiet. She has come a long way from being the cling-on, crazy girl from Wedding Crashers.
Abigail Breslin (No Reservations) was good in this movie. She had a minor role, and it worked. I often find her precocious, but I liked her in this movie. The writer and director, Adam Brooks, also a fellow Canadian, did a great job with this movie, as he has with his pervious works, writing the screenplays for Bridget Jones 2 and Practical Magic.
I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys romantic comedies, something out of the ordinary, and a lot of Ryan Reynolds.
Final Words: Saw it. Loved it. Am planning on buying it...Definitely, maybe.
