Watched most of this last night. As a guy, I have high demands for my chick flicks. Something like the predictable tripe that was 27 Dresses makes me want to retreat into a self-induced coma. However, films like Love, Actually and Notting Hill were exceptionally well written. Definitely, Maybe follows in the same tradition of quality. I found alot of myself in the character portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, who as an actor, I have always been on the fence about his abilities. Not anymore. He gives a truly emotional and grounded performance here. The female leads are pitch-perfect as well. To me, Isla Fisher is a standout. You can't help but fall in love with her. I haven't finished watching yet, but I can't wait to see how it ends. It does keep one guessing.
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) ...more
