Overrated and overhyped

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It was Perfect story , when i was watch Definitely, Maybe movie i was so curious like that that little child Maya . who will be maya's mother? at the beggining devorce papers shows us some little clues but curiocity never change .

A political consultant tries to explain his impending divorce and past relationships to his 11-year-old daughter. Definitely, Maybe is 2008 Romantic, Comedy, Drama starring Ryan Reynolds, Rachel Weisz, Elizabeth Banks, Abigail Breslin, Isla Fisher and Kevin Kline. This is a film that although i've heard before i never actually saw until today of course and personally i loved it especially the father and daughter relationship between Will and Maya and both Reynolds alongside Breslin had a great chemistry together and it was so sweet and touching plus it's so heartwarming how he tells all those stories of the 3 women that he loved the most and how he met Maya's mother and to get there we have some twists and turns and it actually surprised me for a movie of this kind. Kline also shows up as a book writer named Hampton Roth and he does a really good job as well he is pretty funny actually. The movie is also touching but also smart and intelligent when it wants to be and it balances everything quite well and if you love any of this actors or just Reynolds you're really going to enjoy this film.

I enjoyed this movie but the explanation for why he kept the book at the end was totally lame. The only thing he had left of her... well, she's still living... she's still his friend... he can ring. He wouldn't have like a Christmas card she signed just for him? She would never have given him a present over all the years - despite arranging this big birthday party for him with everyone at it.This is the thing she's searching for for years. She's still searching for it while he's holding on to it. This is narcissism not love. This is an insensitive character who doesn't pick up on obvious signals - cause he's all about himself. He's even obnoxious when she tells him to get his act together - to help him.This movie is the kind of "love" that wants someone around cause they do it for you. And even then, they weren't at the top of the list. The caring for someone else's needs bit of a relationship isn't demonstrated on the male side.The searching for the book idea is interesting, but it collapses the whole movie at the end.

Hollywood and its relentless bias for quantity not quality has made cynics of us all. In the case of this lost gem, it is no coincidence that (as of the date this review is penned) the top rated IMDb critique basically says that the writer was expecting junk ... and yet was pleasantly surprised.Sterling praise, that.Folks we need to (sorry for the pun) look at the big picture here. The Romcom is a tried and true Hollywood tradition that goes back to the days of ... oh ... Claudette Colbert and Doris Day.When it doesn't work, it is usually still entertaining; and when it does work, it is magical. This one is magical.Forget the cynicism for a moment and you will see the all the components are there: the writing is so sharp it cuts (especially the last scene with the door speaker); the direction is gentle and unobtrusive, and all the actors (ALL!) are excellent and engaging.Ryan Renolds, if you can look past the career error known as Green Lantern, is a natural romantic lead, engaging and always moving forward, taking the viewer along. Since this is a story about a man looking for Mrs. Right, the female players have to sexy enough to appeal to the male viewer yet still relatable and sympatico for the distaff members of the audience. Again, spot on.Isla Fisher may possibly have given the performance of her career here because she is required to build a presence in a movie where she is offscreen most of the time. And she pulls it off. Which in turn makes the ending that much more fun.
