Definitely, Maybe (Widescreen)

When his daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) begins to ask questions about his past, Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) tells her the story of how he came to meet her mother. The twist is that he's going to tell her all about his love life as a young man, and that Maya has to guess which of his girlfriends became her mothers. The movie alternates from the "flashback" scenes, taking place over the rise and fall of the Clinton Administration, to showing Maya's reactions to her father's story in the present.

The flashback scenes are what really make this movie, though admittedly those didn't really even interest me until about twenty minutes to a half hour into the movie. The film started off really bland, but once a young Will Hayes takes a job working on the Clinton campaign, things start to fall into place. The dialogue is very well written, the characters are somewhat stock but still interesting, and the plot-twists are a bit more surprising than what you'd expect from the genre.

Overall, it's a good film that will probably entertain but will definitely draw a tear. It's probably not for everyone, but for those who can appreciate a high-sentimental romantic comedy, this is surely worth seeing.

7/10

It's been a while since I found a movie that was nice and easy to follow. This was comical and romantic, and I loved it. I had to give it 5 stars!

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.

I loved this movie! It has all the makings of a classic.
I highly recommend it.
