This story seems very real. It does not have to many circumstances and nothing to exciting happens. People behave like in real life. Watching this movie is fun anyway, because you would want to know what happened to the characters, if they would really exist. It felt warm and fuzzy to watch the movie. Although I was not sure if the guy deserved to be with the girl in the end.

I had no expectations with this movie at all. I thought this was just your typical cheesy finding-the-right-one movie but it wasn't. Definitely, maybe, you could say truly a 'maybe' story because of the complexities of the protagonist's love life along with his ever inquisitive daughter brought mainly by the influences from school. At first, you could see a father whose intention was to answer the question of his daughter regarding her mother's identity through a fairy tale-like manner just to be apt, mysterious and enticing for her. Along the series of story-telling, you would say that it was certainly Emily but after a moment, you got confused because of another tie with some other significant girls. With that sense, the delivery was just so clever that you would be dragged and forced to finish the movie with satisfaction of the pacing.As for the romance side, it was reasonable. Will was just a guy capable of being hurt and moving on; that it's hard to get into another relationship when you still have lingering feelings with the break- up but you need to move on for the sake of your own happiness. He has reasons why he ended with multiple girls. The women involved had their own aspects that you could love and hate as viewer. Much to say, the run or building up of the romance was so realistic and frank. Nevertheless, he truly ended up with the right one.Also, the political side added some wittiness among the colloquialism of the characters.I couldn't say in detail the entirety of the movie but it is definitely a recommended movie. You will love, laugh, be warmed, confused, hurt and satisfied with the conveyance of the story. So, see it for yourself.

Definitely Maybe is a good movie with a well developed plot and a great comedic cast. It's an enjoyable, original romantic comedy that, despite its premise, is actually not predictable, it is genuinely intriguing for us as an audience to find out who ends up being Maya's mother. Ryan Reynold's brings in excellent charm in the lead role and seems to have instant chemistry with the all the main actresses, particularly Isla Fisher and Rachel Weisz. The plot can be a bit convoluted at times and had several plot points that felt unnecessary, such as making Bill Clinton's run as president a major part of the story, it took me away from this movie when they began speaking about real events. I would love to have seen more of Hampton, Kevin Kline's brief portrayal of the character was funny and natural, I think he really could have added another layer to the film if he had a bigger role. It certainly has its flaws, but Definitely Maybe is a sweet, different romantic comedy and if that's what you are looking for, that's exactly what you will get. A man tells his daughter about the series pf events leading up to her birth. Best Performance: Kevin Kline

Definitely, Maybe starts off pretty well, it's fresh, very dynamic and even though it is quite the classic rom com, you still get carried away.Then, the rhythm drops, the movie becomes less incisive, more conformist and it gradually runs out of steam until completely running in circles during the last very dispensable half hour.This movie clearly should have been shorter since it is quite boring around the end, the final outcomes takes too long to come.Definitely, Maybe, though similar to countless rom coms, still is enjoyable overall and to his credit, it is sincere, accurate and well embodied by a rather flawless cast.
