April 15, 2009It won't be on anybody's 10-best list at the end of the year. But it's agreeable and engaging and real enough in the right smallish ways, and it has an emotional maturity at odds with the high-grade plastic from which it's constructed. That being said, it's all been done before, ...( read more)

March 15, 2009A sweet romantic comedy/drama which is well written and well acted. Ryan Reynolds fits his part perfectly and the female leads are strong and enjoyable. Abigail Breslin is adorable, smart and witty as usual. An enjoyable film....

October 26, 2009Wow, not at all what I expected. Ryan Reynolds seem to be starring a lot of good movies, and his acting in this movie might have only made it better. Abigail Breslin, once again, amazes me. Such a young girl doing such a magniscifent job. She's stunning. Of course I think that ev...( read more)

October 25, 2009What a wonderful way for a movie to discuss relationships. The father-daughter thread is delightful and the movie is great for a variety of audiences. Lighthearted yet tearjerking (at times) this movie is great!

October 22, 2009Enjoyable rom-com told through a tale of a father to his daughter with the names changed. Well acted and eeper than you would think. It's not the same old story rehashed. Had a few problems with the daughter not knowing some details of her parents lives, but otherwise this one ha...( read more)

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Definitely, Maybe, written and directed by Adam Brooks, is a nimble and winning little romance.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
A romantic comedy with brains as well as heart, Definitely, Maybe is that rare studio release that feels like it was written by a human being, not by committee. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
To sum up, Definitely, Maybe is crap with compensations. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
There's really nothing terribly wrong with Definitely, Maybe, but there's nothing strikingly right about it, either; it's as good as it needs to be, and no more. It'll do in a Valentine's Day pinch, u... full review

It could use some editing toward the conclusion, but it's generally enjoyable, amusing and more sophisticated than most films in this genre. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Definitely, Maybe proves that there are still innovative ways to tell the oldest story of all, the one about two people falling in love. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
All the performances are fine, yet they're fine mainly because there's almost nothing in the script to severely botch, so safe, rote, and mildly soporific are the proceedings. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
As the movie is about a character's growing into his own truth rather than discovering some preordained truth, Definitely, Maybe is hard to outguess. For once in a romantic comedy you won't be able to... full review
