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.
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

Great talents.:
This is a movie that really makes you think about children of divorce. Abigail Breslin is a love and an extremely talented young actor. Who wouldn't love handsome and talented Ryan Reynolds? He's may be what every child wants in a loving father. Tears filled my eyes when he tells his daughter she's the best part of his life. So moving.
Totally terrific!:
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:
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... more info
Enjoyable but not amazing:
this is a decent movie that entertains you but is nothing more than another chick flick and does not have anything special.
