Better than I thought it would be. Sort of realistic in parts and unrealistic in parts. But entertaining.

standard romcom in a lot of sense here but begins off on a legit original premise of a who-do-it..... where it is Ryan Renolds and Who is the mom.... decent but kinda linear and

A romantic comedy with a slightly different formula. It was cute.. but really, what more can you say with romantic comedies?

Everything feels derivative and nothing rings true -- it's The Way We Weren't.

Definitely, Maybe, written and directed by Adam Brooks, is a nimble and winning little romance.

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.

To sum up, Definitely, Maybe is crap with compensations.

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, until something better comes along.
