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.System Requirements:Running Time: 112 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/ROMANTIC COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 025195004503 Manufacturer No: 61100526

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

The twist is that he's going to tell her all about his love life as a young man, and that Maya has to guess which of his girlfriends became her mothers. The movie alternates from the "flashback" scenes, taking place over the rise and fall of the Clinton Administration, to showing Maya's reactions to her father's story in the present.
The flashback scenes are what really make this movie, though admittedly those didn't really even interest me until about twenty minutes to a half hour into the movie. Overall, it's a good film that will probably entertain but will definitely draw a tear.
The film started off really bland, but once a young Will Hayes takes a job working on the Clinton campaign, things start to fall into place. 7/10
It's probably not for everyone, but for those who can appreciate a high-sentimental romantic comedy, this is surely worth seeing. When his daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) begins to ask questions about his past, Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) tells her the story of how he came to meet her mother.
The dialogue is very well written, the characters are somewhat stock but still interesting, and the plot-twists are a bit more surprising than what you'd expect from the genre.

The plot kept me thinking the whole time. My wife and I sat and watched this and commented that this was a very realistic scenario and acting was right on. Isla Fisher never looked hotter. This movie is one of the better movies I have seen. It is good to see Ryan in a role that is more the type of character he should play, even though is good in everything.

To have a child that young talk that explicitly is just wrong. I say shame on Universal Studios and Abigail's parents for encouraging her to be in PG-13 movies and to be the reason for the rating.
If I had known that the frank dialogue on the rating was from a child no older than mine, I would not have rented it and will get my money back from movie gallery. It was so unacceptable and not needed, It could have been a good movie without all of that sexual dialogue and promiscuity in the plot.
I think they should have to say frank dialogue from underage child. Shame, shame on Universal Studios and Abigail Breslin's family.
I could not finish the movie and will no longer spend my money for Universal Studios or Abigail Breslin's family to use to make more trashy movies. I was totally shocked to find out that the frank dialogue was between the underage child and her father.
I was also suprised to only find one other review in the 15 to 20 I looked at that mentioned how much it bothered them.
