terrible... so disappointed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It was Perfect story , when i was watch Definitely, Maybe movie i was so curious like that that little child Maya . who will be maya's mother? at the beggining devorce papers shows us some little clues but curiocity never change .

So you wanted to come here to see the review of movie and if you should watch it or not. This movie was made in 2008 and my girlfriend and I seen this movie at the Movies. She eventually saw how much I liked it and rented the DVD for me. This movie is a surprise all around. Every once in a while a movie will play it off like its some romantic comedy just to get viewers from all type of sexes. But this movie is told from a male point of view. The only one that I know of.I know most people have seen The Notebook. And all kind of other romantic movies. Those are all told from a woman perspective. Where everything ends happily ever after, and the woman is indecisive and guys treat her like garbage but she finds a prince or some nice guy (who is usually extremely attractive) she ends up with.Well that doesn't happen here. There are 3 women for the most part. All great actors. Another thing about some of those other romantic movies is the women are so predictable it doesn't give them a chance to act out their character. All three women in this movie are good actors. Especially the brunette and the red head. The Red head(isla Fisher) was a great actor. Simply sarcastic and really emotional at times even though her personality is "i don't care".Definitely something I've noticed even in my life. The attitudes of these women and their own relationships and how they ended are super realistic. The only thing that is not realistic is the little girl but hey they had to have something in their to attract audiences. And she was funny as well. Kind of had a dakota fanning attitude but less annoying to be honest.I'm not going to go through play by play with the movie. Who ever reads this will have to watch them movie. So if you are just on here to see if you really watch the movie, you should watch it. If you are on here to see if people agree with you I guess I would fall into the majority. 7.2 is really high for a grade for a movie on IMDb, cause most people rate the movies compared to the godfather and gone with the wind.Once again when my girlfriend first suggested this movie I was like "here we go, another chick flick", its going to be woman does what she wants, when she wants, men are jerks but she finds a guy who treats her nice, look good, and has a nice job while the other guy loses his job and ends up a loser". Yawn!!! But this movie did not end up like that and the sarcasm in this movie is wonderful.

I enjoyed this movie but the explanation for why he kept the book at the end was totally lame. The only thing he had left of her... well, she's still living... she's still his friend... he can ring. He wouldn't have like a Christmas card she signed just for him? She would never have given him a present over all the years - despite arranging this big birthday party for him with everyone at it.This is the thing she's searching for for years. She's still searching for it while he's holding on to it. This is narcissism not love. This is an insensitive character who doesn't pick up on obvious signals - cause he's all about himself. He's even obnoxious when she tells him to get his act together - to help him.This movie is the kind of "love" that wants someone around cause they do it for you. And even then, they weren't at the top of the list. The caring for someone else's needs bit of a relationship isn't demonstrated on the male side.The searching for the book idea is interesting, but it collapses the whole movie at the end.

Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) is an ad exec about to get divorced. After a particularly in depth discussion about sex in her school, he is harassed by his daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) to talk about her mother. He finally relents but explains he's going to change the names and some of the facts. It becomes a story of "How He Met Her Mother" as he recounts past girlfriends Emily (Elizabeth Banks), April (Isla Fisher), and Summer (Rachel Weisz).It's a different kind of rom-com. There's the question of who the eventual girl in the equation is. The thing is all 3 ladies are absolutely charming actresses. So there isn't a bad choice in the bunch. It's more a cute device to keep interest in the story. Adam Brooks has written an unique rom-com. It also helps to have the charming Ryan Reynolds with the ever cute Abigail Breslin.
