DVD Reviews of Definitely, Maybe (Widescreen)
DVD Review: Definitely Maybe
Summary: 5 Stars
A soon-to-be-divorced political consultant has to answer some hard questions from his 11-year-old daughter as he explains his past relationships. Definitely, Maybe is the best romantic comedy. You should definitely watch this movie with someone and have a great time. DVD Review: A TRUE GEM OF A ROMANTIC COMEDY!!
Summary: 5 Stars
A very cute comedy, It reminds me of my little girl Amie.
It's great to be a father and have boy's, but your not a true
Daddy til you have a little girl!!
As well life doesn't always turn out the way we thought it might.
I rate this movie a 5 of 5 stars!!
DVD Review: Really good movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
(THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS NEAR THE END!!!) I saw this on HBO while on a business trip, sort of against my will, as I couldn't find anything else on TV. I was pleasantly surprised, as it's a really good movie (as long as you aren't overly analytical about it).
Ryan Reynolds plays Will, a 30-something dad with a 10 year old daughter, Maya, (played beautifully by Abagail Breslin). Will is on the verge of divorce from his wife/Maya's mother. Maya is clearly upset by the upcoming split, and an ill-timed sex ed class (isn't 10 a little young for Sex Ed? I've forgotten...) triggers lots of questions for her dad about how he met her mother and why he married her. He proceeds to tell Maya the story of the three women he has loved without disclosing which one is her mother.
Disclaimers:
1) You have to suspend your logic while watching this movie, as Breslin is precocious well beyond her years and asks questions and makes insightful observations many adults don't make.
2) This review has a few SPOILERS in it - not anything you can't figure out, but I some folks don't want to know what happens.
I think there are many things to recommend this film:
1) The chemistry between Will and Maya is great... They play the father/daughter combo with aplomb. Breslin is great (as she was in Little Miss Sunshine).
2) Summer (played by Rachel Weisz) and April (played by Isla Fisher) are great as two of Will's loves. Each plays a perfect character that complements Will. You get a real sense of how he could have ended up with either of them (and almost does, or does).
3) Ryan Reynolds is quite effective as a more complex character - it is a real treat to see Van Wilder's deeper side. It's clear from Reynolds' other roles that he has range. He hasn't picked very many vehicles before this that display it. It suits him.
The biggest issue with the film? (Here's a SPOILER!). Ironically, I was least impressed with Emily (Elizabeth Banks), his college sweetheart. She is the woman who is eventually turns out to be Will's wife/Maya's mom. She seemed shallower than the other two characters, and it was difficult for me to figure out why Will would have married her. While Summer lets him down in pursuit of career advancement, and April seems too mercurial to him and their timing just doesn't match, Emily cheats on Will the first time around with his piggish, chauvinistic roommate Charlie (completely far fetched, unless she is a complete idiot), and then reappears with the weak premise that "maybe our timing was off the first time", which Will inexplicably buys hook, line, and sinker. It leaves me momentarily thinking less of Will. You also cringe at times at Will's "full disclosure" to Maya of his romantic/sex life. It is a bit extensive (even if she did just have a sex ed class) with mentions of threesomes and more detail than most fathers would give their 10 (or 30) year old daughters.
All in all, highly recommended. My wife and I liked it so much we bought it.
DVD Review: Ryan Reynolds break through
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best Ryan Reynolds movie I've seen. It displays his full range of acting ability (which is quite good - he can be extremely funny but also has full dramatic leading man capacity) and the movie is just surprisingly good. I recommend this movie. As a strange aside that just popped into my head, Adam Sandler should step aside from doing movies like Click and Bedtime Stories and hand those roles over to Reynolds - he would have made those movies twice as good.
Anyway it was a good story with nice twists, much less predictable than many romcoms, it was funny and just plain good. Ryan Reynolds is something of a revelation in this role.
DVD Review: romantic movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the story line and the entire cast. I especially love Ryan Reynolds and Isla Fisher's characters.
Description of Definitely, Maybe (Widescreen)
From the makers of Notting Hill and Love Actually comes the charming and irresistibly funny romantic comedy Definitely, Maybe. When Will (Ryan Reynolds) decides to tell his daughter (Abigail Breslin) the story of how he met her mother, he discovers that a second look at the past might also give him a second chance at the future. Co-starring Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz and Isla Fisher, it's the heartwarming story that makes you realize it's definitely never too late to go back.and maybe find a happy ending.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
