July 26, 2008Ryan Reynolds and Abigal Breslin shine in this beautiful movie that in the end had me in tears. Isla Fisher as April is also wonderful in this. Just a great movie.

September 1, 2011One of the best Rom-com's in recent years. Not full of laughs throughout, it does have it's more serious and dramatic parts along the way. It does have a great cast with Renolds, the 3 female leads and a good performance by Abigail Breslin as Reynolds daughter. A good story large... read more

July 30, 2011This is one of the best romantic comedies I've seen in a long time. The story is romantic and snappy, keeping just the right amount of mystery so that it is not confusing but whimsically engrossing. I loved having the setting during Bill Clinton's time - it weathered and toughene... read more

June 23, 2011The ending got me with this film. Ryan Reynolds played Abigail Bronsons father so perfectly and this is one of the best love stories written.

March 19, 2011fb732260458I'm such a sucker for Romantic Comedies that its hard for me to advise against watching one... but combine that with my absolute adoration of Ryan Reynolds, a witty script and sharp direction - and you get a hell of a great movie.

February 1, 2011I enjoy movies that takes place over a period of time, especially when it's about relationships. It's a journey of it's own and you can see how the characters develop with time.
Ryan Reynolds plays Will Hayes, father to Maya Hayes (Breslin). While going through a divorce, May... read more -
November 8, 2010I'm not going to lie. I love this movie! I really like the fluidity of the 4 stories, how they're all mixed together and how they all build off one another. Isla Fisher and Abigail Breslin really add to this film. Definitely one of the better romantic comedies I've seen. I recomm... read more

July 15, 2010Boring uninspired comedy romantic drama film. Painfully too long, and doesn't go to the point. bad script, acting and directing make this a definite miss!

July 13, 2010Is it a 'mystery love story' (as the character Maya puts it)? Definitely, maybe. Is it a 'must watch' rom-com? Definitely not. 5.5/10.

Tthe performances are very strong.

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Everything feels derivative and nothing rings true -- it's The Way We Weren't. Full Review

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Definitely, Maybe isn't terrible exactly, but it's bland, and in some ways that's worse. It's a romance posing as a detective story in which the solution is obvious and not worth the fuss. Full Review

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
This highly uneven comedy by writer-director Adam Brooks might be easier to take if it were less infatuated with its own cuteness. Full Review

Philip Marchand, Toronto Star
It's no accident that the producers Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan, are the pair responsible for such romantic comedies as Love Actually, About a Boy, Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill, all starring ... Full Review

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Despite one of the more contrived framing devices outside an actual frame shop, Definitely, Maybe keeps you interested in its characters and isn't afraid of complicating your sympathies a little. Full Review

Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com
Definitely, Maybe isn't a particularly good movie. It's hard to make either romance or comedy out of relationship wreckage, not to mention career ennui, and the pace is often meandering and sulky. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
[Reynolds] is -- once again -- better than his material, which relies too heavily on obvious sentimentality and lazy '90s nostalgia. Full Review

Is Definitely, Maybe the best romantic comedy released so far this year? Definitely. Should you go see it? Maybe. Full Review
