DEFINITELTY, MAYBE


As a father (Ryan Reynolds) goes through a difficult divorce, his young daughter (Abigail Breslin) starts questioning him on his entire romantic history. So, he tells her the tale of the three great loves of his life and she must guess which woman eventually became her mother. Is it the sweet-as-pie girl-next-door Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? His best friend (Isla Fisher)? Or the flaky journalist (Rachel Weisz)?


As chick-flicks go...DEFINITELY, MAYBE won't be difficult for a guy to sit through. Ryan Reynolds is fun to watch as he uncomfortably relates the tall tale of his 3 great loves of his life. Usually I dislike child actors, however, Abigail Breslin has won me over the last 3 years. While watching I kept thinking..."thank GOD Dakota Fanning isn't n this".


The one plot point that I has issue with was that the daughter is approximately 10 years old. This is the very first time she has inquired about how her mother and father met? I give DEFINITELY, MAYBE a "6". The film is simply...OK.


Take note of Isla Fisher. In a post from almost 3 years ago I stated that she was going to be a big star. She's not quit there yet...But she's getting close.
