Romantic comedy: Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad is in the midst of a divorce when his 10 year old daughter, Maya, starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. Will's story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the Clinton campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as a idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. On the campaign, Will's best buddy is Russell McCormack. They not only have similar political aspirations, they share the same type of girl problems, too. Will hopelessly attempts a "PG" version of his story for his daughter ad changes the names so Maya has to guess who he finally married. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, the dependable girl next-door Emily? Is she his longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist? As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad's romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it's definitely never too late to go back...and maybe even possible to find a happy ending.
Leave your thoughts about Definitely, Maybe.
| Screen InternationalAllan HunterAn unusually soulful and appealing romantic comedy. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThe big news here is the intelligence, the balance, the real romance in Definitely, Maybe. No, it doesn't follow the formula. And really, how cool is that? |
| Sin MagazineAustin KennedyAll of the romantic scenes work here, but anytime it switched gears and started focusing on the politics, it lost me. |
| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryWe get a rare look at a long personal journey through relationships (including his relationship to politics) from the point of view of the man, and a new appreciation of the silver lining on even the saddest cloud. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithA film that at once embraces formula and, in critical scenes, dismisses it all together. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsIf you're expecting another Notting Hill or Love Actually, you'll be disappointed. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittEvery Valentine's Day weekend deserves a good romantic comedy, and this year, we have one. |
| FilmspottingAdam KempenaarDespite a last act cop-out and its cutesy, unsatisfying narrative gimmick, writer/director Adam Brooks offers a surprisingly unsentimental take on modern romance. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenNo maybes about it, definitely an exceptional romantic comedy. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA 'Who's Your Mama?' melodrama unfolding for the benefit of a suddenly-spousified 11 year-old. |
