Definitely, Maybe

Three relationships. Three disasters. One last chance.

In the middle of a divorce, Will (Ryan Reynolds) tells his daughter (Abigail Breslin) the story of how he met three women and which one of them would become her mother. A romantic film that thinks it hits every right button, but it rarely does. Definitely bland, maybe charming – to less discriminating audience members. The story is overlong and Breslin’s character never becomes more than just another Hollywood kid. Even the part where Reynolds works for Bill Clinton’s first presidential campaign is annoyingly unsatisfactory.

2008-U.S. 110 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Adam Brooks. Cast: Ryan Reynolds (Will Hayes), Abigail Breslin (Maya Hayes), Isla Fisher (April), Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz, Kevin Kline.

Remember This?

“If I don't kill him he'll make war all through Europe. But murder... What would Socrates say? All those Greeks were homosexuals. Boy, they must have had some wild parties. I bet they all took a house together in Crete for the summer. A: Socrates is a man. B: All men are mortal. C: All men are Socrates. Means all men are homosexuals. Heh... I'm not a homosexual. Once, some cossacks whistled at me. I, I have the kind of body that excites both persuasions. You know, some men are heterosexual and some men are bisexual and some men don't think about sex at all, you know... they become lawyers.”
