As a father (Ryan Reynolds) goes through a difficult divorce, his young daughter, Maya, (Abigail Breslin) begins questioning him on his entire romantic history. He then tells her the tale of the three great loves of his life and has her guess what woman eventually became her mother. Is it the sweet-as-pie girl-next-door Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? His best friend (Isla Fisher)? Or the flaky journalist (Rachel Weisz)?
Abigail Breslin's performance in Definitely, Maybe is pure genius. Throughout the film, Breslin stays present and in every moment delivers a pure performance. She is cute, humorous, tender, and delivers many emotions with ease. She compliments Ryan Reynolds so well, you cant even tell that he is playing the same character he plays in every film he has done.
Elizabeth Banks gives a stellar performance as the girl-next-door Emily. Reynolds first love from college. She gives that hometown feel to her character and plays a very likeable mother for Breslin- or is she?
Isla Fisher is my favorite adult actress in this film- You remember her as the red head in Wedding Crashers and in this movie she plays a simple sophisticated young lady. Her performance wants you to have her as Breslin's mom- AND she could be!
Rachel Weisz did an excellent job of making me hate her. Her character is a typical slut. She sleeps with her professors and others in her professional life to get ahead. She is someone I did not want to be Breslin's mom- but she was- OR WAS SHE?
The director of Love Actually Adam Brooks really directed an excellent movie. I recommend this to anyone except children after all it is PG-13.
FOR THIS MOVIE I give 4 and 1/2 stars out of 5 and a big FAN rating
