Ryan
Reynolds
and
a
bevy
of
excellent
actresses
star
in
this
smart
and
touching
romantic
comedy
about
a
little
girl
trying
to
understand
her
father's
complicated
history
with
women.
Will
Hayes
(Reynolds)
is
in
the
midst
of a
divorce,
and
his
11-year-old
daughter
Maya
(Abigail
Breslin)
wants
to
understand
what
went
wrong
with
her
parents'
relationship.
She
begs
her
father
to
tell
her
the
entire
story
of
how
he
met
her
mother.
Will
begrudgingly
agrees,
but
changes
the
names
of
everyone
involved,
leaving
it
up
to
Maya
to
decipher
who
in
the
story
is
her
mother.
Thus
Will
begins
his
tale,
weaving
a
romantic
and
amusing
maze
of
missed
connections
and
bad
timing
with
the
likes
of
three
beautiful
women:
Summer
(Rachel
Weisz),
April
(Isla
Fisher),
and
Emily
(Elizabeth
Banks).
Will
bounces
from
relationship
to
relationship,
misunderstandings
and
confusion
thwarting
him
every
step
of
the
way.
Who
will
he
end
up
with?
Which
woman
is
ultimately
right
for
him?
The
film
keeps
Maya
and
the
viewer
guessing
right
until
the
very
end,
with
a
bittersweet
but
ultimately
triumphant
surprise
twist
tying
it
all
together.
Reynolds
has
long
outgrown
his
VAN
WILDER
days,
and
does
an
excellent
job
of
holding
his
own
with
the
talented
Fisher,
Weisz,
and
Banks.
The
film
is
certainly
a
stand-out
from
the
current
crop
of
romantic
comedies,
in
that
the
women
are
intelligent,
well-drawn
characters,
and
the
relationships
are
painted
with
a
funny,
but
realistic
eye.
And
blessedly,
it
doesn't
end
with
the
standard
blowout
wedding
that
has
become
the
hallmark
of
such
films.
DEFINITELY,
MAYBE
is a
smart
and
sexy
take
on
the
complexities
of
love,
and
still
manages
to
be
kid
friendly,
while
sending
a
very
positive,
honest
message
to
children
of
divorce.
