Definitely, Maybe is a new film written and directed by Adam Brooks. And it's something of an exception to the rule I've been complaining lately about how bad most romantic comedies are these days. And while that's certainly true, I would make a partial exception at least for Definitely, Maybe which is an unusually smart, charming and insightful entry in the genre.
It stars Ryan Reynolds as Will Hayes. When we first meet him he is trying to explain the facts of life to his young daughter Maya who is played by Abigail Breslin from Little Miss Sunshine. And he is trying to tell her the story of how he met her mother. So a lot of the movie takes place in flashback. It starts in 1992 when young Will is going off to work for the first presidential campaign of Bill Clinton and leaving behind his college sweetheart in Madison, Wisconsin. Her name is Emily and she is played by Elizabeth Banks.
She is one of three different women who are unbeknown to themselves auditioning for the role of his wife and Maya's mom. The others are Rachel Weisz who plays Summer, a kind of mysterious femme fatale, and Isla Fisher, who plays April, a flaky red head he meets at the campaign office.
Now a lot of the charm of this movie resides in its conceit and in its structure. It flashes back and you don't know which of these three women is gonna end up being the one he ends up with. And there is an extra wrinkle which is that he’s recently divorced from Maya’s mom. So you know that the one who he ends up happily with is not necessarily the one he is gonna live happily ever after.
The other thing that sizes is that this movie is very honest and forthright in a kind of understated way about some of the difficulties and imperfections and frustrations that go with falling in love and falling out of love, getting divorced, trying to figure out who the right person is for you, while still maintaining the basic fairytale enchantment that's so necessary for a romantic comedy to be romantic. And it's also pretty funny. The writing is sharp and clever. There aren't a lot of big laugh-out-loud jokes, but instead, a kind of insightful observant humor. All in all, Definitely, Maybe is a movie that I would definitely recommend.
