Definitely, Maybe (2008)
Written by Adam T. BrooksDirected by Adam T. BrooksRunning Time: 120 minutes (approx)Production Year: 2008Rating: 12 CertificateProduction Country: UK/USA/FranceFilmed in ColourDelightful romcom, starring Ryan Reynolds (pictured). He plays Will who is just about to sign his divorce papers when daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin, pictured) pesters him to find out how he got himself into this sorry state. Through a series of flashbacks, Will gives her the (child-friendly) story of his romantic life, through his three great loves, Emily (Elizabeth Banks), April (Isla Fisher) and Summer (Rachel Weisz). But Will changes the names and leaves out a few important details. So who is Maya's mother, and who should have been his soulmate? A romcom centred on a devoted dad and his precocious daughter from the writer of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Wimbledon should, by rights, be a nausea-inducing saccharine-fest. However, a feather-light touch in emotional moments and genuinely charming performances from the whole cast make this a movie capable of winning over even the most cynical of audiences. Ryan Reynolds proves his acting chops as a leading man to be reckoned with and Abigail Breslin once again defies the conventions of child stardom by refusing to be annoying. Definitely one to watch. When is Definitely, Maybe next on TV?
