Ok, I know I’m supposed to be studying but my bf was such a dear that he bought tix, knowing that I wanted to catch this!
I was really looking forward to watching this coz the trailer looked promising and reviews were good too. And with the big heading “From the makers of Notting Hill and Love Actually”, how can it possibly go wrong right?
WRONG! The show, unfortunately, sucks. =(
Its a romantic comedy, but it was neither romantic nor comedic. The jokes were either not funny or delivered too fast and unclear by Ryan Reynolds (who plays the main character Will) such that no one could catch it.
The only saving grace was Abigail Breslin who played Will’s daughter Maya. She was witty, smart and funny and delivered her lines wayyyyyyyy better than Reynolds. I didn’t catch her in Little Miss Sunshine, but I’ve heard good things about her and it definitely showed during this movie.
And the weirdest thing was that, the only time the phrase “Definitely, Maybe” was mentioned was during this insignificant part midway through the movie. I mean, isn’t the movie title usually the central theme?
So my recommendation is, go catch it if you have the extra time and cash and there’s nothing else for you to watch (unless you’re interested in The Forbidden Kingdom, that is). If not, you’re better off watching channel 8 re-runs at home.
