Amazon.com A romantic comedy that begins with a discussion about sex education and ends with a bit of an unexpected twist, Definitely, Maybe focuses on an engaging father and his 10-year-old daughter. She is curious about the women her dad loved prior to marrying (and separating from) her mother. Instead of telling her, "None of your business," he decides to tell her about them... Sort of. Will is played by Ryan Reynolds and his precocious daughter Maya is adroitly portrayed by Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine). Will figures out a way to tell Maya about his most meaningful relationships in a PG manner that also is interactive for her (Or as she describes it, "a love story mystery!"). Changing a few of their characteristics and disguising their names, Will tells her about three exceptional women and Maya tries to deduce which one became her mom. Was it Emily (Elizabeth Banks), the wholesome Midwestern girl afraid of the big city; Summer (Rachel Weisz), the exotic journalist; or April (Isla Fisher), the rebel with a cause? Hearing about all these women, Maya asks, "What's the boy word for slut?" Spanning 15 years, back to when Will was an idealistic young man with the hopes of one day becoming president of the United States, the film has a nice light touch and deals with father-daughter bonding issues in a unique, if not completely realistic manner. Reynolds is a genial but bland leading man, but the women--including young Breslin--more than hold their own in this fun film. --Jae-Ha Kim

Fantastic!August 15, 2008 This movie is one of the better movies I have seen. My wife and I sat and watched this and commented that this was a very realistic scenario and acting was right on. It is good to see Ryan in a role that is more the type of character he should play, even though is good in everything. Isla Fisher never looked hotter! The plot kept me thinking the whole time.

I was totally shocked to find out that the frank dialogue was between the underage child and her father. To have a child that young talk that explicitly is just wrong. I say shame on Universal Studios and Abigail's parents for encouraging her to be in PG-13 movies and to be the reason for the rating. If I had known that the frank dialogue on the rating was from a child no older than mine, I would not have rented it and will get my money back from movie gallery. I think they should have to say frank dialogue from underage child. I was also suprised to only find one other review in the 15 to 20 I looked at that mentioned how much it bothered them. It was so unacceptable and not needed, It could have been a good movie without all of that sexual dialogue and promiscuity in the plot. I could not finish the movie and will no longer spend my money for Universal Studios or Abigail Breslin's family to use to make more trashy movies. Shame, shame on Universal Studios and Abigail Breslin's family.
A great, funny and yet touching love story.August 11, 2008 I loved this movie! It has all the makings of a classic. I highly recommend it.

There are few romantic comedies out there that shines. It's up there with "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle."

Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1.Will's getting divorced 2.His daughter's learning about the birds and the bees in school 3.He agrees to tell her about his love life and how he met her mother 4.Names were changed to make it a mystery 5.Emily was his first love 6.Summer lovin' had him a blast 7.He had pieces of April 8.The main mystery is why he'd share all this information with a ten year old 9.We learn about the women in his life through flashbacks to the Clinton era 10. Can you guess who's the Mummy? 11. Meet the Mummy 12. Life goes on
Ryan Reynolds plays Will, a boyishly cute but rather bland and naive political speech-writer who's about to get a divorce. Abigail Breslin compensates for his blandness as his precocious daughter Maya.
Through a series of flashbacks, Will tells Maya about his first love Emily, his friend April and his second love Summer. He changes the names to make it a mystery.
TMI IMHO
Maya (and the audience) try to work out which one is Maya's mother in this light romantic movie that's light on the comedy too. Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher and Rachel Weisz carry most of the movie, while Kevin Kline provides the majority of the humor as eccentric writer Hampton Roth.
Recommended as a rental for an idle afternoon, and rated 3.5 stars
